This policy brief by RMI argues that the lack of universally accepted, machine-readable data standards for carbon accounting hinders the ability of companies to exchange and compare emissions data, thereby slowing decarbonization. The document proposes the creation of an ecosystem based on open standards, open-source collaboration, and industry-wide software support to enable real-time, interoperable carbon tracking acrossSS across supply chains.

This workshop report by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) synthesizes discussions from July 2020 regarding the standardization of data for integrated energy planning. It focuses on the use of geospatial least-cost modelling to achieve universal energy access, identifying critical data gaps and quality standards for both electrification and clean cooking planning, and exploring the convergence of these two sectors through electric cooking.
