About the Institute
What is the E-liability Institute?
The E-liability Institute is a not-for-profit learning organization advancing rigorous emissions-accounting practices to drive innovation in energy efficiency worldwide. Our founders developed the E-ledgers method for accurately and reliably tracking carbon emissions and removals across even the most complex of supply chains in as close to real-time as practicable. This information empowers operational managers to make better-informed decisions on building a competitive edge using energy efficiency, just as it enables customers and investors to better align their resource-allocation choices with their underlying preferences.
The E-liability Institute wants to create an ecosystem for rigorous emissions accounting worldwide that enhances market transparency, drives fair competition, and supports energy abundance. To do so, we help pioneering organizations, large and small, across the business, government, and nonprofit sectors, pilot the E-ledgers method, disseminating insights from these pilots, including economy-wide proto-standards for best practice, for the world to harness. We also work with technology providers, audit firms, and consulting firms that will help organizations move from pilot to enterprise-wide scale. And we seek to catalyze the broader network of policymakers, regulators, standard setters, and investors to urgently upgrade global commercial standards for emissions accounting, auditing, and reporting.
The Institute is funded through philanthropic donations from supporters who share our commitment to improving emissions accounting. The Institute does not charge for its services and has no commercial interests in furthering the adoption of the E-ledgers methodology.
