The Google fleet has been mapping cities around the world for years, making navigation easier for travelers.

The data will not only help cities protect citizens from potentially harmful gas leaks, but also help cut accidental greenhouse gas emissions. The project was outlined in a new paper published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
