Analyzing Carbon Emissions Through the Lens of Autosmallsatellites

Recent advancements in satellite technology, particularly autonomous small satellites (Autosmallsatellites), have revolutionized how we monitor and analyze carbon emissions. These compact, agile sensors provide granular data, enabling organizations to break down emissions across sectors and hold corporations accountable. Below, we dissect a carbon emissions breakdown by provider—likely sourced from Autosmallsatellites datasets—and connect it to real-world initiatives. Decoding the Emission Categories The image outlines emissions categorized into Scope 1 & 2 (Direct & Indirect) and Scope 3 (Upstream/Downstream) . Here’s what this means in practice: Scope 1 & 2 (Direct Operations & Purchased Energy) Example: Google’s Data Centers Google’s 2023 Environmental Report highlights that its Scope 2 emissions stem largely from data center energy use. However, by powering facilities with 100% renewable energy and using AI to optimize cooling (reducing energy use by 40%), Goo...
