Abstract
This Energy Insights report is intended to help executives arrive at a short
list of IT suppliers in the carbon management application area that best
address the needs of the business. Energy Insights used the Industry Short List
methodology to compare technology providers with offerings in carbon
management. The Industry Short List tool centers around three principles Energy
Insights believes are critical in today' s selection of an IT supplier:
fact-based research, industry focus, and evaluation transparency.
According to analyst Jill Feblowitz, "Momentum for carbon management - a
relatively new area - is growing with the prospect of a cap and trade market
and the desire for energy companies to support sustainability. Beyond complying
with new regulations, the company that proactively adopts carbon management
will be able to comply efficiently with changing regulations, reduce emissions,
and take advantage of opportunities in carbon trading, thus being able to
reinvest in more carbon management initiatives."
