BeZero Carbon launches Project Fundamentals datasets to transform carbon project analysis
BeZero Carbon, the global carbon ratings agency, today launches the market’s first at-scale datasets of technical carbon project data for enhanced analysis and due diligence
Project Fundamentals cover dozens of critical technical and operational parameters that underpin the performance of a given project type, with over 100k data points for more than 1,000 projects across nine sub-sectors, available on and off BeZero’s platform
As the first offering of its kind to expose technical project-level data in a way that’s standardised, digitised and decision-ready—saving hours upon hours of manual work—Project Fundamentals will transform carbon project analysis in this market
BeZero Carbon, the global carbon ratings agency, today announces the launch of the industry’s first at-scale dataset for technical carbon project data.
Immediate access to fundamental data is an essential part of the toolkit for analysts and investors in financial markets. BeZero is now bringing this well-established offering to carbon markets. In our sector, fundamental project and sector level data will form the backbone of effective carbon project analysis. Analysts and risk managers need accurate, technical information specific to a project and its sector to inform project design, due diligence, and evidence-based decision making. Project Fundamentals covers over 100,000 data points for more than 1,000 projects across nine sub-sectors, ready to consume on BeZero’s platform or as raw data to download and use.
In other financial markets, fundamental data provides technical and operational parameters specific to the asset type, providing analysts with ready to use information for quantitative analysis, risk modelling, and benchmarking. Take equity markets for example, where companies’ financial statements can report values in different ways specific to their firm. The same type of data can look slightly different in various filings, making it difficult to compare without fundamental analysis.
These challenges exist in carbon markets too. Project reporting is inconsistent within and across sectors, project documentation is buried deep in PDFs and scattered across registries, and the host of differences in project type, country and regional parameters makes data hard to structure and decision-making hard to evidence.
BeZero has identified, collected, cleaned, and structured the key parameters for different carbon project sectors in consistent formats. Using best-in-class scientific knowledge and data science techniques, as well as proprietary datasets, users can now easily compare projects in the same sector. Because BeZero delivers the data through standardised fields, it’s ready to use immediately.
As the first offering of its kind to expose technical project-level data in a way that’s standardised, digitised and decision-ready—saving hours upon hours of manual work—Project Fundamentals will transform carbon project analysis in this market.
Tommy Ricketts, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at BeZero Carbon, said:
"Working with data in today’s carbon market is unreliable, slow and expensive. It can take experts days to sift through the scores of differently structured sources to understand a carbon project. With our new Project Fundamentals feature it now takes seconds. Everyone from developers to investors to corporate buyers now has the power to undertake carbon project due diligence with financial-grade data. Digitalised technical carbon project data will transform how analysis and decision-making is carried out across the industry. We are proud to be at the forefront of innovation, bringing new infrastructure to this growing sector.”
