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. MethaneSAT's 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.
