Zurich shows what real time emissions measuring can do
Zurich has just shown Europe what a real-time carbon-counting future looks like with a breakthrough system that measures the city’s CO₂ emissions directly from the air not just from spreadsheets.Until now cities relied on inventories built from fuel use and activity data. Useful but slow and often out of date.
Zurich is now using a dense network of sensors plus advanced atmospheric models to track CO₂ as it moves through the city giving a live picture of what is really being e
