Internet giant Google took another step for the environment. The company will use artificial intelligence and satellite images to monitor methane gas.
When it comes to global warming, the most “carbon dioxide emissions” is highlighted but There are other factors that speed up the process. For example, according to the International Energy Agency, the large temperature increases observed globally Methane is responsible for approximately 30 percent (some sources also say 25 percent). According to NASA data, 60 percent of the methane concentration in the atmosphere, which has more than doubled in the last 200 years, is from human activities, 40 percent of from natural causes (Farm animals like cows, goats and deer produce incredible methane gas) Sources, International Energy Agency It explains that the total annual methane gas emission is 589.1 million tons in 2022. It is stated that 395.1 million tons of this is due to human activities (especially the energy side), and 194 million tons is due to natural means. This is a very important issue for all of us. Google announced a partnership with the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).According to the statement, it will use satellite images with artificial intelligence to monitor methane gas and thus It will begin to clearly reveal the regions with the highest methane gas emissions.. The internet giant, which wants to mediate or accelerate solution efforts for these regions with the step it has taken, He believes that preventing methane pollution will have a huge positive impact on climate change.
