What if you could use Google Street View vehicles to detect and measure greenhouse gas emissions like methane? Please join Eric Knauft and Amanda Diep in welcoming Cassie Brunette, a Manager in EDF's Office of Chief Scientist, for an EDF Ambassador San Francisco Chapter event featuring an insider’s view on the work EDF has done to find natural gas leaks in several U.S. cities. Natural gas heats our homes and cooks our dinner. But when natural gas—mostly methane—leaks into the air, it’s a big problem for the climate. So EDF and Google Earth Outreach teamed up to build a faster, cheaper way to find and assess leaks under our streets and sidewalks using their Street View vehicles.
Come join us for a lecture followed by discussion over wine and cheese.
Interested in attending? Please RSVP via Eventbrite or by email to [email protected]. This event is free of charge and open to the public.
- More Information -
Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas (84x more potent than CO2 over the short term) and EDF has engaged in its largest series of scientific studies to understand how much methane is leaking from the natural gas supply chain since information was generally sparse or completely unknown. EDF measured everything from the wellheads to the gas mains under city streets (also known as the local distribution system). To that end, EDF partnered with Google Earth outreach to equip third party methane sensors to Google Street View vehicles and make maps that show the relative size and location of the local distribution system leaks. During this event Cassie Brunette, manager of the methane mapping project, will discuss the details of the project, including insights into the data collection and website design components and EDF’s advocacy and policy strategy.
