The Fossil Fuel Atlas consolidates large volumes of freely available spatial data into an open access mapping portal, offering access to a wide range of fossil fuels, social and ecological data sets.
Upload DatasetThe extraction and use of fossil fuels and other resources are impacting people, nature and the Earth’s climate. The development of new oil, gas, and coal infrastructure must end in order to meet internationally agreed-upon climate goals.
Data downloaded from Carbon Mapper (https://carbonmapper.org/) and includes data on plumes from 1789 carbon dioxide sources. "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.We use precision visible-infrared imaging spectrometers on satellites and aircraft to locate, quantify and track methane and CO₂ point-source emissions."
