A study led by researchers at Australia’s University of Queensland finds that the planet has more coral reef area than previously believed.

Google has partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund to launch a satellite project called MethaneSAT, which will track emissions of methane from oil and gas facilities. Google will use AI to map oil and gas infrastructure to create a global map of pollution sources. The data will be available later this year through Google Earth Engine.

Google will use satellite data, AI, and its computing power to map methane emissions around the globe. The transparency marks a new era in climate accountability.

Explore how Google and EDF's collaboration is driving innovation in combating climate change by mapping methane emissions and infrastructure.

Google to use satellite imagery to track methane

Google has partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) on a project to use satellite imagery to identify and monitor sources of methane emissions.

Alphabet Inc.'s (GOOG) Google has partnered with the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund or EDF to launch MethaneSAT, a new-generation satellite that aims to identify sources of methane gas worldwide.

Google also said it will create a map of oil and gas infrastructure, using artificial intelligence to identify components like oil tanks. MethaneSATs data on emissions will then be overlayed with the Google map to assist in understanding which types of oil and gas equipment tend to leak most.
