Oh yes, and this awesome, searchable "mini-database"!

Australia, companies with #ownership obscured through nominee structures account for 23 million tonnes of #fossilfuel CO2 #emissions every year — about 18% of the national total.

The interactive data tools are great too! You can dig into asset level #emissions and #ownership

Sorry, mistag, it’s not the IFC, it’s Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics from the Bank of International Settlements

Increased #ownership granularity includes ownership connections at a 5% threshold, all levels of ownership (subsidiaries, SPVs, etc.), references/citations for each ownership connection, and (soon to come) timestamps for the last time each ownership connection was verified.

This initiative should allow #LEI users access to asset-level data on #energy and heavy emitting assets, a pathway to an independent verification of financed #emissions (thanks to our role as the ownership leads at @climatetrace.org ), and increased ownership granularity in the #ESG and space.

Global Energy Ownership Tracker The Global Energy Ownership Tracker provides information on the chain of ownership for various energy projects. The data maps each level of the chain from the direct owner (as in, the lowest-level ide...

I'll be co-presenting with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation about our initiative integrating the LEI into @globalenergymon.bsky.social Global Energy Ownership Tracker

I'm getting ready to present at the @ifcorg.bsky.social and @dnb-nl.bsky.social event on "Sustainability data issues and central banks' experience". Can't wait to increase data interoperability and #opendata in the #ClimateFinance space!

An honor to connect with Al Gore at #ClimateWeekNYC.

GEM contributes ownership data through our Global Energy Ownership Tracker as the sector lead in the @climatetrace.org coalition he co-founded — linking emissions to the companies most responsible.

Really important new dataset in the #fossilfuel space! Combining this data with equity data, such as what is in the Ownership Tracker, is an amazing next step for corporate #emissions transparency and independent verification

Excellent study and use of ownership data - love the focus on Scope 1

I love the work done by the @pe-coalition.bsky.social in looking at how to effectively communicate climate issues to skeptics.

Don’t chicken out on “climate” - Potential Energy Coalition The question currently on top of many minds in the climate change community is quite fundamental: Should we still say “climate change”? Have the dynamics changed so much that the most expedient path t...

"The opposition wins when we don’t show up."

This is a fantastic experiment run to see how to pull individuals believing disinformation about climate change to a more open and believing position!

Check out @climatetrace.org 's new February emissions release!

The #SEC backing away from defending the Climate Related Financial Disclosure rules they spent YEARS building is not surprising under the trump presidency, but it's still disappointing to see

We've been featured as @climatechangeai.bsky.social 's Dataset of the Month! 🥳

Thank you for the support, we really appreciate it.

Trump Administration Moves to Fast-Track Hundreds of Fossil Fuel Projects The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has cited President Trump’s claim of a national energy emergency to speed up permits for new gas pipelines and other projects.

These should not be considered “emergency projects” and the fact that this project class means communities and local can’t weigh in on the impact of this fossil fuel projects is unacceptable in a democracy.

February 15, 2025 After World War II, the vast majority of Americans—Democrats and Republicans alike—agreed that the federal government should regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, promote infrastructur...

Really puts all the "efficiency" cuts into perspective @hcrichardson.bsky.social

It also includes several extractive industries such as coal mines, iron ore mines, and iron and steel plants.

We will be launching a new section, likely in late July, that maps for corporate ownership for the cement and concrete sector - which accounts for roughly 8% of global emissions.

Free to use and download dataset for journalists, researchers, and others who work in corporate transparency, particularly those focused on climate corporate transparency.

This data contains for the full chains of ownership for the majority of the worlds fossil fuel assets.

Plus, ownership covers many more fossil fuel and heavy emitting assets: coal plants, oil and gas plants, coal mines, steel plants, bioenergy power, and natural gas transmission pipelines.

Soon we will also cover crude oil and natural gas liquid transmission pipelines and cement and concrete plants.

World's largest oil and gas plant owners hide billions of dollars in climate costs Saudi Electricity Company — the largest owner of gas-fired capacity in the world — did not disclose over 7 million tonnes of CO2 in 2022 through its chosen carbon reporting method, finds a new report ...

If you also want to use this tool to investigate gaps in companies Scope 1 and 2 emissions you can! See this article as an example: globalenergymonitor.org/report/world...

It was great to see this shout out of @globalenergymon.bsky.social 's and @cshearer19.bsky.social 's Global Coal Plant Tracker. We now also publish full chains of ownership for the Coal Plant Tracker in the Global Energy Ownership Tracker. Click here for the Ownership Tracker: tinyurl.com/4cp8wfre

Yes! If you're into #cleanenergy, #climatechange, #EnergyTransition, and having data that doesn't disappear off the internet give us a follow

Bar chart showing proposals, construction starts, and coal capacity brought online in 2024 are higher in China than the rest of the world combined. The bars in gigawatts compare coal-fired power capacity by status and region, in gigawatts (GW). Proposed capacity: China 69 GW, Rest of World 47 GW. Construction started: China 94 GW, Rest of World 7 GW. Started operating: China 31 GW, Rest of World 14 GW. Source: Global Coal Plant Tracker, January 2025.

The latest Global Coal Plant Tracker update is live!

Key trends:
➡️ 🇨🇳 leads coal expansion, w/more proposals, construction starts, and capacity than the rest of the world combined.
➡️ 🇮🇳 made up 80% of the 47 GW of new proposals outside China.

Which Coal Units Are Retiring, and Which Plants Will Continue Operating Once the dominant source of energy in the United States, today, 401 coal units supply roughly 16 percent of the nation’s grid.

A @nytimes.com analysis of #GlobalEnergyMonitor data shows a more complex picture than commonly reported: yes, planned retirement dates for many US coal plants are being pushed back, but many are also being accelerated, and the long term trend away from coal is clear: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Open-Access AI: Lessons From Open-Source Software Open-weight AI models aren’t the panacea for AI democratization, innovation, and accountability that their evangelists claim them to be.

I got really frustrated with people calling AI models Open Source that aren't, so we wrote about why open source AI is not open source software.

High-Resolution Domestic Energy Modelling for National Energy and Retrofit Planning Climate Change AI - NeurIPS 2024 Accepted Work

Hi BlueSky! I’m Grace, a PhD student in applied AI for environmental risk from the University of Cambridge.

I’m at NeurIPs 2024 Climate Change AI workshop this weekend introducing a new dataset I’ve been developing for neighbourhood level energy modelling

www.climatechange.ai/papers/neuri...

This is fantastic work with informative graphics! Everyone should take the time to read @isabellamweber.bsky.social 's entire thread.

I particularly love this sankey diagram and I love the "Profits flow disproportionately to the most affluent, white, and highly educated Americans" graph

I had someone tell me RSS feeds are AI... this was earlier this year
