ICE offers Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) based avoided emissions data for 50+ climate solutions including company, sector and portfolio-level analytics.
Avoided emissions are emission reductions that occur outside of a product or technology’s life cycle or value chain, as a result, of the use of that product or technology*. Examples include electric vehicles, renewable energy generation, heat pumps or sustainable textiles.
Asset owners and managers can use avoided emissions assessments to evaluate how their investments are transitioning to a low-carbon economy and whether their investments are having a positive climate impact. Avoided emissions can be used for pre-investment screening and decision-making, annual sustainability, post-investment reporting and to conduct in-depth impact research.
As part of the ICE Climate offering, ICE provides modelled avoided emissions data and analytics (through ICE’s Climate Transition Analytics (CTA) tool), at the company, sector and portfolio level.
ICE’s methodology for avoided emissions assessments aligns with industry best practice and guidelines such as World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Mission Innovation’s Avoided Emissions Framework and World Resources Institute (WRI) guidance and provides transparency at all stages. This includes undertaking a Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to conduct avoided emissions assessments, along with ensuring a comparative baseline scenario that is as accurate and reflective of the current market as possible. ICE can also provide a more bespoke approach to suit clients’ requirements.
ICE also collects company-reported avoided emissions data, with validation and quality checks conducted, to ensure acceptance of reported data is in line with ICE methodology and WRI, WBCSD and GHG Protocol guidance.
