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