The world urgently needs more high-impact climate solutions to ensure a world in which humanity thrives, without the threat of climate change.
we must rapidly develop and scale innovative climate technologies capable of significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
CRANE (Carbon Reduction Assessment for New Enterprises) is the only free and open-access tool designed to calculate the forward-looking GHG impacts of emerging climate technologies. It offers standardized, user-friendly GHG impact calculations.
As a free, science-backed, and open-access software tool, CRANE fills a critical resource gap in the climate finance ecosystem.
CRANE empowers investors, innovators, philanthropists, and other users to make informed, data-driven decisions by uncovering the climate impact potential of new ventures. CRANE helps ensure that capital can reach the most impactful innovations and innovators, regardless of geography or background, and drive meaningful progress toward our shared climate goals.
The tool was developed by Prime Coalition, a nonprofit on a mission to unlock catalytic capital and change the future of climate finance, in collaboration with Rho Impact, a software and data provider powering the world's most reliable impact forecasting.
Disclaimer: CRANE’s output reports are a helpful starting place for evaluating climate impact as a part of diligence, reporting, or discussion. While CRANE can not predict the future, it provides valuable estimates to guide decisions on climate investments.
