Update: 26 November 2013 | Collaboration with Bloomberg on Carbon Risk Valuation Tool

To help investors integrate the concept of stranded carbon assets into practice, we have collaborated with Bloomberg to develop a new valuation tool which integrates carbon risks into familiar valuation models. Bloomberg's Carbon Risk Valuation Tool provides investors with enhanced analytical capabilities to identify carbon-intensive assets vulnerable to stranding, a critical step in navigating the transition to a low carbon economy. Bloomberg has released a White Paper and the tool itself is available on Bloomberg by typing in XLTP XCO2.
