Our mission
Our mission is to drive greenhouse gas emission reductions by making methane and carbon dioxide data accessible and actionable.
Data and Science
Our data portal includes observations of methane and CO2 super-emitters across the globe. We detect, pinpoint and quantify emissions at a facility-scale and make this data available to the public, providing accessibility and transparency to maximize impact.
A unique public-private partnership
To accomplish our mission, Carbon Mapper leads a unique coalition of partners — powered by philanthropy — to develop and deploy two satellites with capabilities to detect and quantify methane and CO2 super-emitters at a level of granularity needed to support direct mitigation action.
Donate
As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, Carbon Mapper relies on the generosity of philanthropic funders. We accept donations from those who want to share in our public-good mission to mitigate climate change with science-backed data and research. Contribute today to be a part of our impact.
Translating data to impact
Our data helps fill gaps in understanding the size and scope of methane and CO2 emissions and supports direct mitigation from facilities and operators. We partner with groups across government, policy, industry, and nonprofit groups to help translate data into meaningful insights and tools that help decision-makers around the globe.
Total methane plumes on our portal
We use precision visible-infrared imaging spectrometers on satellites and aircraft to locate, quantify and track methane and CO₂ point-source emissions.
Total CO₂ plumes on our portal
Carbon Mapper's goal is to expand to a full constellation that would provide sustained, high frequency monitoring of priority regions around the globe.
