How does it work?

1. 🔗 ClimateTRACE.org/reduce
2. Add geography or sector of interest
3. Adjust the slider to set your target emissions reductions
4. Review relevant emissions reduction strategies
5. Identify facilities for implementation + view their locations on the emissions map
6. Take action

The plumes are modeled based on conditions of an average day or worst conditions day, and the animation plays over a 24-hour period. Take a look at the info box on the bottom left to see time stamps.

Thanks for digging into the new tool. Each pollution source should be linked to an asset on the emissions map (ClimateTRACE.org/explore).

If you find a source without linked facility details, please let us know!

PM2.5 in New Orleans Urban Area
Air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills 8.7 million people each year. We homed in on over 9,500 point-sources located in urban areas that expose a disproportionate number of people to PM2.5

The 85-mile stretch along the Mississippi River known as Cancer Alley has a high concentration of fossil fuel facilities, each emitting health-harming pollutants that have long impacted the local community.
