US researchers map carbon emissions at street level

[dipsydoodle]

US scientists have developed new software that can accurately measure greenhouse gas emissions down to individual buildings and streets.

The system combines information from public databases with traffic simulations and energy consumption models.

Researchers believe it could help identify the most effective places to cut emissions.

They say it could aid international efforts to verify reductions in carbon.

Right away I noticed they'd done nearby (to me) Indianapolis! I'm going to be looking at that in some detail...
