The ODI is working with people and organisations across the energy sector to explore how data can be harnessed to improve business, build sustainability and create a stronger infrastructure.
By looking at the different aspects of the data infrastructure used to collect, access and share environmental, energy and weather information, we can better understand the challenges faced.
Data Spectrum for Energy
With a view to better explaining the potential for open and shared data to address climate change, ODI has worked with Icebreaker One to develop a Data Spectrum for energy. Icebreaker One is exploring how to rapidly evolve financial and energy systems to embed net-zero into all investments in a manner that is demonstrable, provable and uses data to hold organisations to account. Have feedback on our Data Spectrum for energy? Contact info@theodi.org
