Scope 3 emissions represent 75% of most corporate footprints, but 79% of companies say supplier data is their top challenge. That gap is widening as mandates tighten.

Research finds most carbon offset programs fail to deliver real emissions reductions. As net-zero strategies depend on offsets, the credibility of those claims faces widening scrutiny.

Utilities are rethinking customer programs as grid tools. Coordinated flexibility can cut peaks, support reliability and ease pressure on new capacity.

Gasmet’s GT7000 Tellus brings multi-gas FTIR analysis to fixed setups. It supports teams tracking emissions, CO₂ purity and process change.

Investors call corporate water risk disclosure unfit for decision-making yet keep relying on it. As regulatory pressure builds and water stress accelerates, that tolerance is ending.

MIT research shows third-party audited companies initially report 13.7% higher emissions. That is not failure. It is what honest measurement looks like — and regulators are watching.
