INDUSTRY - WE ARE WORKING ON A CRITICAL PIECE OF THE CLIMATE PUZZLE: DECARBONIZING THE WORLD'S GOODS AND SERVICES, INCLUDING HOW THEY ARE DESIGNED, SOURCED, PRODUCED, AND DELIVERED. OUR PLANET IS DROWNING IN EMISSIONS FROM THE PRODUCTION OF GOODS AND THE SERVICES WE USE TO TRANSPORT THEM, AND IT'S CRITICAL WE ADDRESS THIS CRUCIAL SECTOR. OUR WORK INCLUDES:1. MATERIAL VALUE CHAINS - DECARBONIZING THE MATERIALS THAT GO INTO OUR EVERYDAY GOODS, INCLUDING METALS AND MINERALS, STEEL, AND CEMENT.2. ENERGY INPUTS - REDUCING THE CARBON INTENSITY OF THE FUELS USED TO PRODUCE AND TRANSPORT GOODS.3. HEAVY TRANSPORT - WORKING TO DECARBONIZE THE TRUCKS, TRAINS, AIRPLANES, AND SHIPS THAT MOVE PEOPLE AND GOODS AROUND THE WORLD EVERY DAY.4. COMET - AN ALLIANCE TO CREATE A UNIVERSAL GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) CALCULATION FRAMEWORK FOR THE MINERAL AND INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY CHAINS. POWERED BY MIT'S SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS INITIATIVE, THE COLUMBIA CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT, RMI, AND THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES.5. CLIMATE ACTION ENGINE - AN EMISSIONS DATA PLATFORM THAT WEAVES TOGETHER METHANE EMISSIONS DATA WITH OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION, SUCH AS LOCATION, OWNERSHIP, AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE DATA UNDER A SINGLE DATA AND ANALYTICS PLATFORM.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2019 – Jun 30, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$6M
