Why Climate Risk Matters—for Every Project, Every Time Climate risk is no longer a secondary concern or an issue solely for financiers. It is a strategic imperative. Whether a project is externally financed or fully self-funded, understanding and embedding climate risk into its foundations is now critical to long-term success. At io, we believe thatContinue reading “Climate Risk, Stewardship, and the Equator Principles”

Sustainable Aviation: Production of e-SAF
In recent years (note 1), the aviation sector has typically accounted for around 3% of global, energy related emissions of carbon dioxide [1,2]. While there has been a drop in total emissions from the sector due to the travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an expectation that demand will very soon returnContinue reading “Sustainable Aviation: Production of e-SAF”
io consulting’s Climate Pledge
Anthropogenic activities in our lifetime have caused climate change and whilst io’s operations are small, we are acutely aware that the whole economy needs to act to halt climate risks. Therefore, io is ready to put in place commitments and measures designed to deliver on the Paris Agreement goals. Our approach is two-fold; firstly,Continue reading “io consulting’s Climate Pledge”
Net Zero Upstream Facilities: Can we afford not to?
The groundbreaking universal, legally binding global climate change agreement, adopted at the Paris climate conference in 2016, aims to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels; and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C (2.7°F). In the four years since the Paris Agreement wasContinue reading “Net Zero Upstream Facilities: Can we afford not to?”
io consulting’s progress to net zero watch
The Paris Agreement aims to keep the increase in global temperatures well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To do this will require a rapid cut in current rate of CO2 emissions and programmes to actively remove CO2 throughContinue reading “io consulting’s progress to net zero watch”
