"Methane emissions are a material risk for the energy sector - and for us all," says Mark Kriss, CEO of Geofinancial Analytics. "That's why MethaneScan® 100 is so important. It reveals gaps in self-reported emissions of the top 100 energy producers worldwide using satellite remote sensing."

The MethaneScan® 100 dataset can be used by financial professionals to improve risk levels, asset allocation, overall profitability and help meet ESG/sustainability targets. Early adopters of MethaneScan® 100 can benefit from first mover advantage, including opportunities for alpha investment returns vs. benchmarks and risk avoidance. For example, financial professionals can use real-world emissions ratings to add value to security selection, and inform rebalancing weights and timings, corporate engagement and proxy voting."

"The recent COP26 meeting in Glasgow featured tangible commitments on methane reduction by countries around the world. MethaneScan® 100 is a critical tool for the financial and energy sectors to help meet those commitments," says Geofinancial co-founder and Chief Scientist, Jessica Hellmann, who also leads an academic think tank dedicated to environmental solutions.
