emissions , with the platform having access to 50 + petabytes of analysis-ready data .
The programme remains relevant for solar project developers or those interested in designing Massive Solar Distributed Generation Projects , providing users with rich , solar-potential data about buildings throughout the world .
" Google Earth Engine is one of our solutions that takes multi-petabytes ’ worth of satellite data , geospatial data compliance , and planetary level data analytics . We ' ve made this available for a number of years to scientists and researchers to help them really understand what ' s happening at a planetary scale in terms of changes to the planet .
“ We have another solution called Global Forest Watch , which again is helping companies , governments and cities track monitored deforestation and take action . So , again , it ' s using AI and machine learning in a real-world environment ," concludes Elman .
This extends into individual conglomerates and their immediate sustainability needs . Unilever is currently utilising Earth Engine ' s satellite data to work towards achieving a deforestation-free supply chain by 2023 .
