Did you know?

Climate TRACE is a global non-profit coalition created to make meaningful climate action faster and easier by independently tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with unprecedented detail and speed.

Our Mission

We harness satellite imagery and other forms of remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and collective data science expertise to track human-caused GHG emissions with unprecedented detail and speed.

Climate TRACE’s emissions inventory is the world’s first comprehensive accounting of GHG emissions based primarily on direct, independent observation. Our innovative, open, and accessible approach relies on advances in technology to fill critical knowledge gaps for all decision makers that rely on the patchwork system of self-reporting that serves as the basis for most existing emissions inventories.

Assets measured

Climate TRACE is now tracking air emissions and other metadata from 660 million individual emitting assets: facilities, farms, fields, ships, and so on. That is billions of datapoints — so for ease of use, this website aggregates the data into 1.8 million sources, with non-GHG co-pollutant data available for 425,000 sources globally. For example, we’ve grouped all rice production in one county, and all ships by port. For researchers or anyone else who would like to access the gridded data, please reach out via our contact form.
