This report by RMI argues that financial institutions (FIs) can use asset-level emissions modeling and remote detection technologies to identify and fund methane abatement in the oil and gas sector. It highlights that methane emissions from equivalent volumes of oil and gas can vary by a factor of 10 or more, and that a significant portion of these emissions can be reduced through cost-neutral or profitable investments. The document advocates for the use of 20-year Global Warming Potential (GWP) metrics to better reflect near-term climate risks and the impact of new regulations, such as the US Inflation Reduction Act's methane fee.

This guide explains how to use RMI's Corporate Commitments and Emissions Dashboard, a tool designed to model corporate emissions pathways to 2050 based on voluntary climate commitments and economic indicators.

This chapter describes the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning system Integrated Benefits Calculator (LEAP-IBC), a model developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute to estimate the impacts of policy scenarios on pollutants, human health, and other endpoints, specifically highlighting its application in Bangladesh.

This guide describes the Transport Analysis methodology within the LEAP software, detailing how energy consumption and environmental loadings are calculated based on vehicle stocks, mileage, and fuel economy.

This guide provides technical instructions for using the Integrated Benefit Calculator (IBC) within the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP), detailing the required geographic scales, data structures, and pollutant accounting necessary for the tool to function.
