2023 Eclipse Carbon Optimization (ECO) Report

Summary

Rho Impact worked with Eclipse to establish the ECO Framework, which leverages CRANE (an open software tool) to assess the environmental impact of early-stage ventures. The model estimates carbon reduction much like an investor would evaluate an investment's future revenue and profit potential, making it widely applicable and powerful.


The ECO Framework comprises three key elements to estimate:

  1. 01   Total Market Emissions
    The estimated total GHG emissions in the market(s) addressed by an Eclipse portfolio technology.
  2. 02   Reduction Potential
    The estimated GHG intensity reduction (%) per unit of good or service of an Eclipse portfolio technology.
  3. 03   Penetration Rate by 2050
    The estimated market penetration rate of a company technology by 2050.
