Avoided emissions: unlikely heroes

ICE's research on identifying and quantifying potential Avoided Emissions has highlighted how climate opportunities can be found in unlikely sectors and companies outside of the obvious candidates. Our approach, highlighted in a whitepaper by ICE and EcoFin Investors, aims to help investors not only manage climate risks, but also identify investment opportunities.

Harnessing this research, we used the ICE Avoided Emissions Module (available on the ICE Climate Transition platform) to examine global diversified portfolios, such as the ICE Global Broad Market Equity Index, to identify climate opportunities.

Analyzing companies from across the Semiconductors, Clean Energy, Metal and Minerals, and Zero Emissions Vehicles sectors, we found potential Financed1 Avoided Emissions weighting heavily towards the Clean Energy sector.
