Satellites and AI could track carbon emissions in real time
- Monday | 13th May, 2019
WattTime reckons all of that data can be used to calculate exact, real-time emissions data (including carbon emissions) for every power plant in the world. ITEM: A non-profit AI firm has revealed plans to combine AI with satellite imagery to track carbon emissions from every power plant on Earth in real time – and it could be a game changer in the battle against climate change. The WattTime project could potentially solve that problem by creating an independent, reliable and trustworthy pool of data that is generated in real time. Sensors that can directly track NO2 emissions are in development, according to WattTime executive director Gavin McCormick. Offenders won’t be able to make cosmetic promises of emissions reduction efforts and then fudge the numbers later – WattTime’s satellite will be able to verify when power plants manage to successfully reduce emissions.
