We demonstrate the potential in a recently published working paper that uses data from NASA''s OCO (Orbiting Carbon Observatory)-2 platform to measure CO 2 emissions from more than 1,200 cities in 138 countries, with populations greater than 500,000. Using satellite data to assess whether a city is under or overperforming on reducing CO 2 levels
Energy intensity – shown in the chart above – is one important metric to monitor whether countries are making progress in reducing emissions. The other key part of this equation is carbon intensity: the amount of CO 2 emitted per unit of energy. We can reduce emissions by (1) using less energy; and/or (2) using lower-carbon energy.
