Climate Investment's Impact

Since its inception in 2015, Climate Investment has made significant strides in decarbonization, impacting 133 Mt CO2e since 2019. The focus has been on methane detection and abatement, carbon capture, and energy efficiency.

Partnership with OGDC

Climate Investment became a partner of the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) following a Memorandum of Understanding signed on July 14, 2025. This partnership aims to provide OGDC signatories with insights to aid their decarbonization efforts.
