Carbon Mapper is a non-profit organization focused on pinpointing and measuring methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) point-source emissions from space. They develop and deploy a hyperspectral satellite constellation to provide comprehensive data on greenhouse gas emissions, making this data publicly available to governments and industries. Key partners include NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Planet Labs, and the State of California, with philanthropic funding from organizations like High Tide Foundation and Bloomberg Philanthropies. Their activities involve using advanced remote sensing technology to identify "super-emitters" and support climate action by improving the measurement and management of greenhouse gas impacts.
