Climate TRACE has unveiled a groundbreaking open emissions database, marking a significant leap in environmental monitoring and action.
This extensive database, enhanced by AI and machine learning, covers over 352 million assets worldwide, offering detailed insights into greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, including power plants, steel mills, and deforestation activities.
Sustainable Solutions: Innovative Applications and Use-Cases
Enhanced Supply Chain Decarbonization
Companies like Tesla and Boeing are utilizing this data to decarbonize their supply chains and assess paths to lower emissions, showcasing the database's utility in fostering sustainable business practices.
Data-Driven Environmental Policies
The granular data aids governments and policymakers in crafting targeted environmental policies and monitoring compliance with global climate goals, such as the Paris Agreement.
Transparency in Corporate Emissions
Climate TRACE fills gaps in traditional emissions reporting, offering a more accurate picture of corporate emissions worldwide, crucial for accountability and meeting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
Research and Development
The database serves as a vital resource for climate scientists and researchers, enabling detailed analyses of emissions trends and informing strategies to mitigate climate change.
Global Climate Action Support
This platform supports global efforts to reduce emissions in line with the UN's target of a 42% reduction by 2030 to stay on the 1.5°C pathway, illustrating its critical role in international climate action.
Sector-Specific Insights
The database provides specific data on sectors leading in emissions increases, such as electricity production and oil and gas production, aiding targeted intervention and management strategies.
Identifying Opportunities for Emission Reductions
Data on specific emission sources like methane and flaring in the oil and gas industry can guide immediate action to reduce these emissions.
Climate TRACE's open emissions database is a real achievement. It's a fantastic tool for real-world impact — it fosters transparency and accountability. This is a good thing.
