Zeroing Methane Emissions Datathon

This exciting event brings a large network of data enthusiasts together to compete on solving a data-driven problems. The incentives for contestants include cash prizes, as well as the opportunity to get in front of industry members and tech companies to show what they can do. Prior to the competition, contestants participate in a series of boot camps to

get familiar with the dataset, as well as learn some basic computing.

Quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a crucial part of Environmental, Social and Governance corporate strategy. Our goal is to provide datathon participants with a high-quality hands on learning experience in this area by working on an industry relevant problem with real data. One emerging topic is the analysis of methane emissions, such as comparing "bottom-up" estimates using activity and emissions factors, with "top-down" approaches

using satellite data.
