A new #satellite will use #Google’s #AI to map #methane leaks from #space, a collaboration with the nonprofit #EnvironmentalDefenseFund
It could help to form the most detailed portrait yet of methane #emissions—but companies and countries will actually have to act on the data. #MethaneSAT will measure plumes of methane that billow invisibly from #oil and #gas operations, and Google and #EDF will then map those leaks for use by researchers, #regulators, and the public. https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/02/14/1088198/satellite-google-ai-map-methane-leaks/
