Medial
Google has partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to map methane pollution and oil and gas infrastructure using satellite technology. EDF plans to launch MethaneSAT, a satellite that will track methane emissions, while Google will use AI to map oil and gas infrastructure. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and preventing its pollution could have a significant impact on climate change. The collaboration aims to provide valuable information for energy companies, researchers, and the public sector to anticipate and mitigate methane emissions.

Google has partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to detect climate-warming emissions from oil and gas operations using a new satellite called MethaneSAT. The satellite will monitor methane emissions globally and provide data later this year. Google will use artificial intelligence and its mapping capabilities to create a map of oil and gas infrastructure and overlay it with MethaneSAT's emission data to identify sources of leaks. The information will be available through Google Earth Engine, aiding energy companies, researchers, and the public sector in mitigating methane emissions.
