Tackling the Climate Crisis with Discounted Carbon Flow

Featuring Stuart Thorp Belgium Chapter - September 26, 2024

Overview

Discounted Cash Flow analysis is a great tool to quantify the value of financial benefits delivered by a project and the rate at which that benefit is delivered. Discounted Carbon Flow analysis follows an identical set of principles and calculations but applies these to the carbon emission cost of executing a project and the carbon emission (reduction) benefit of the project outcome. To deliver the Paris Agreement targets we need to urgently and massively reduce global CO2 emissions, and Discounted Carbon Flow is a great tool to support this as the principles are already understood from the equivalent financial analysis.
