CHETNA, an advanced successor of the Carbon Monitor framework, aims to leverage open-source data, artificial intelligence and satellite data to deliver near real-time and high spatial resolution CO2 and air pollutants emission data across key urban sectors— POWER, TRAFFIC, RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL and AVIATION for 100+ Indian cities.
Updated monthly, CHETNA's emissions maps enable consistent monitoring of recent urban trends and inter-city comparisons. This granular and near real-time information is critical for capturing the dynamic nature of urban energy use and supporting data-driven climate and air quality policies.
