Description
Carbon Mapper detects, pinpoints, and quantifies methane emissions at the scale of individual facilities using remote sensing technology. It was formed in 2020 with the goal of improving global monitoring of methane and carbon dioxide. Currently, Carbon Mapper is in a 9-month demonstration phase to lay the foundation for Phase 2 where its goal is to expand to an operational constellation of satellites with capabilities to provide daily to weekly real-time monitoring of emissions.

Program areas at Carbon Mapper

Carbon Mapper is a nonprofit based in Pasadena, California, with the mission to drive greenhouse gas emissions reductions by making methane and carbon dioxide data accessible and actionable. It focuses on filling gaps in the emerging ecosystem of methane and CO2monitoring systems by delivering data at facility scale that is precise, timely, and accessible to empower decision making and direct mitigation action. The organization leads a public-private coalition that is developing and deploying a constellation of satellites capable of detecting, quantifying, and verifying methane emissions worldwide. Data from these satellites will offer the next major step in scaling up the organization's robust data portal featuring thousands of direct observations of global methane and CO2 super-emitters.
