Ember
Independent think tank accelerating the clean energy transition with data-driven insights.
Who we are
Ember is an independent energy think tank dedicated to accelerating the global transition to clean electricity.
Founded in 2008 as Sandbag Climate Campaign to reform the EU carbon market, we rebranded as Ember in 2020 to reflect our expanded global focus. Our mission is to use data-driven insights to shift the conversation toward impactful policies and empower other advocates to drive the transition toward a zero-emission future.
What we do
We gather, curate, and analyze data on the global power system, focusing on emissions, trends, and policy impacts. Our flagship reports, such as the Global Electricity Review and European Electricity Review, provide comprehensive insights into the progress and challenges in the electricity sector. We also specialize in tracking and promoting clean energy sources like solar and wind, and in highlighting the importance of reducing coal mine methane emissions. By providing open and accessible data, we support policymakers, media, and advocates in making informed decisions to accelerate the energy transition.
