Google Research and NASA's JPL have launched a groundbreaking deep learning model that maps methane plumes globally, identifying 50% more emissions than human analysts. This model captures 23,000 additional plumes, including emissions from 24 of the 25 largest landfills. While Europe has its own monitoring tools, they aren't comprehensive, missing critical waste emissions. The plume database is freely accessible, highlighting the model's innovative capabilities.
