A new initiative, backed by Google's AI Impact Challenge, will combine satellite data and artificial intelligence to track carbon emissions around the world, and make the information available to everyone. This will make it easier to see where emissions are highest and hold polluters to account.

In years to come, it is going to become increasingly important to keep track of carbon emissions, as the fight against climate change intensifies.

A new initiative by non-profits WattTime, the Carbon Tracker Initiative and the World Resources Institute will use artificial intelligence and satellite technology to quantify the emissions from every large power plant around the world. The project is backed by a £1.7m grant from Google’s, which issued an open call to organizations around the world to submit their ideas for how they could use AI to help address societal challenges.

The information will be used to hold accountable polluting plants and also to enable new, advanced emissions reduction technologies. This new scheme will make it harder for governments or companies to avoid their legal responsibilities. It will also make it easier to hold organizations to account for any internal targets they announce.
