Our Approach
How Climate TRACE Works
Most human economic activities release greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere. We use satellites and other remote sensing technologies to spot these emissions activities
About Climate TRACE
Our Vision
We make meaningful climate action faster and easier by mobilizing the global tech community to track greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with unprecedented detail and speed and provide this data freely to the public.
Latest Projects
Data In Action
The States and Regions Remote Sensing Project (STARRS) illustrates the value of collaboration in generating independent greenhouse gas emissions data.

Understanding the major non-GHG air pollutants
Since our first data release in 2021, Climate TRACE has tracked greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and have now added non-GHG air pollutants for the world’s largest sources of emissions.
Climate TRACE data reveal high-impact opportunities for cutting greenhouse gas emissions
Today, Climate TRACE released its latest inventory which, for the first time, provides monthly emissions data for every country, state / province, and major individual source of emissions in the world. Climate TRACE now also tracks key non-GHG air pollutants for the world’s largest single point sources of emissions.
Duke’s Kyle Bradbury, PhD, on the need for building emissions data
We recently talked with Kyle Bradbury, Director, Energy Data Analytics Lab | Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, Duke University, which leads the Climate TRACE work on modeling emissions from fuels combusted within buildings based on satellite-derived data.
