Climate Tech is a term used to collectively describe those technologies that are explicitly focused on reducing GHG emissions or addressing the impacts of global warming. It is a rapidly growing industry where data-driven products are developed to enable individuals, organisations and governments to understand their risks & exposure to the effects of climate change and ultimately to take action to reduce or reverse them.
Our vision is that eventually all Net Zero data will be F.A.I.R. (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and able to be shared via common standards and easy-to-use processes.
This will help to decarbonise industry and the world by:
- Reducing the complexity and friction around the discovery & access of data sources
- Supporting organisations in the publishing of standardised Net Zero data
- Enabling the creation of new Net Zero focused business models & services
The aim is that this will be done via a Net Zero Data Marketplace that will enable the discovery, sharing and monetisation of these Net Zero Data sets. Meaning it becomes a business-to-business (B2B) data platform that can be used by any organisation (either mandated by legislation, or voluntarily for innovation) to share their Net Zero data – regardless of sector (e.g. Transport & Mobility, Energy, Defence, Healthcare, Retail, Technology, Manufacturing or Construction).
And if this platform is adopted as expected… it could become the main centralised way for the entire Climate Tech sector to find, use and buy data for various purposes such as:
- Targeting investments in decarbonisation more effectively
- Modelling emissions and different future scenarios
Ultimately we plan to create a key piece of digital infrastructure needed to help solve the Net Zero challenge and address the need recently outlined by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations.
“Greater investment in data infrastructure is needed to efficiently target investments now, anticipate future demands, avoid crises from descending into full-blown conflict and plan the urgent steps needed to achieve the 2030 Agenda.”
