We deliver transparency and insights on the sustainability of energy & food supply chains using remote sensing. In short, ESG 3.0.

• For Investment Professionals – Open up new opportunities for risk avoidance and alpha generation

• For Producers – Gain competitive advantage by responding proactively to safety, reputation and political risks

Trusted and Independent

Geofinancial Analytics is a double-bottom-line benefit corporation whose civic mission is to accelerate the transition from climate stressors (like methane super emitters in energy & food supply chains) to more sustainable solutions. We are science driven – and are not an advocacy organization.

accelerating the clean energy transition

Delivering transparency on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via live ESG data solutions like MethaneScan® can help avert catastrophic climate change. Here are some examples:

• 1 billion tons of directly avoided methane emissions, by incentivizing the oil & gas industry to detect and cap its methane leaks. This would be the equivalent of retiring nearly all remaining US coal power plants (about 650 of 800 plants).

• 1.2 billion tons of indirectly avoided GHG emissions, by shifting 30% of planned oil & gas capital expenditures to clean energy. This would be the equivalent of retiring all remaining US coal power plants (about 800 plants).

• Double the amount of capital responsive to GHG emission behavior, by addressing unmet data needs of hedge funds and asset managers. This would represent an additional $3 trillion of investible assets, or about 7% of US assets under management.

GROUNDED IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Collaborative research gave rise to the concept of geofinancial engineering, first described in a research paper we published Fall 2017 in Physics World (short form) and the Journal of Environmental Investing (full-text pdf).

Geofinancial engineering – first released to the research community by Kriss, Hellmann, Lonsdorf, Springer et. al. at a Yale University Symposium on The State of ESG Data and Metrics (September 22, 2017) – uses financial tools and scientific knowledge to leverage the capital markets to change human impact on the physical world and improve the odds of averting catastrophic climate change. As a market-based initiative, it can operate independently from government action or can amplify the effectiveness of market-based regulation like carbon pricing or emission penalties.

Geofinancial Analytics — committed to the commercial delivery of geofinancial engineering — was born soon thereafter in 2018.

COMMITMENT TO OPEN DATA

We are committed to disseminating useful results of our work – including datasets – to the public at large in a timely manner. This open data approach is designed to maximize impact by giving subscribers a short Instant Access information advantage to incentivize action while enabling a virtuous circle of trading by others, engagement and advancing scientific research soon thereafter.
