Utility Carbon Data Management

Carbon accounting is of growing importance as utilities focus on reducing their own emissions, as well as the emissions of their suppliers and customers. In this podcast, our guest speakers discuss the state of carbon data management, and the standards guiding consistency in carbon accounting across utility organizations. We explore how utilities can better help customers on their decarbonization journey.
