Gore's Climate TRACE Launches Neighborhood-Scale Soot Tracking Across 2,500 Cities

  • On Wednesday, Climate TRACE, a nonprofit co-founded by Al Gore, launched a satellite and AI tool to track deadly soot pollution worldwide.
  • Gore began this project after working with people in Memphis opposing a crude oil pipeline that threatened their drinking water aquifer.
  • The system uses 300 satellites and 30,000 sensors to monitor 662 million pollution sources, including 3,937 super emitters across 2,500 cities globally.
  • Gore explained that burning the same types of fuels generates both greenhouse gases and fine particle pollution, the latter of which is responsible for the deaths of nearly 9 million people worldwide each year.
  • This technology could empower communities with pollution data, promoting political support to replace high-emission facilities with cleaner alternatives.
