CurrentCarbon Mapper, Inc., is a non-profit with a mission to deliver and guide the adoption of digital public goods that facilitate timely action to mitigate human impacts to Earth’s climate and ecosystems. We use precision visible-infrared imaging spectrometers on satellites and aircraft to locate, quantify and track methane and CO2 point-source emissions and many other environmental indicators.Powered by philanthropy, Carbon Mapper has convened a broad unique coalition of private and public-sector actors with the combined expertise and resources to deploy a science-driven, sustained, and operational decision support service for maximum impact. Our partners are Planet, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the State of California, the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, RMI, and our philanthropic sponsors.Carbon Mapper is designed to detect and track up to 80-90% of high-emission point sources globally. Our constellation of satellites will uniquely be able to reach this level of completeness through a combination of sensitivity (detection limit) for individual emission plumes, spatial coverage, and sampling frequency. In addition to tracking methane emissions, Carbon Mapper will also monitor fossil fuel CO2 emissions and deliver 25 other environmental indicators useful for ecosystem management and incident response on land and at sea.
