Research Hub

Carbon Tracker’s research examines the financial implications of the energy transition. Covering both energy supply and demand sectors, this hub brings together analysis of how changes in technology, markets and policy associated with the energy transition affect asset values, corporate strategy and investment decisions. It also explores the role of disclosure, regulation and market rules in shaping transition outcomes.
