Scientists develop high-precision methods to track global CO₂ emissions from power plants

Coal-fired power plants are among the largest contributors to global CO2 emissions. However, accurately measuring their emissions has been challenging due to outdated inventories and the technological limitations of satellite-based methods. These challenges are particularly pronounced in regions that lack modern emissions data or ground-based monitoring infrastructure.
