Ember marks five years of turning data into action

Major funding boosts machine learning

Building upon its diverse funding portfolio, Ember received a new grant from Sequoia Climate Foundation to support further work on the energy transition in Europe. The funds will be used to harness AI and machine learning to enhance data transparency, analyse grid and clean flexibility expansion and propose high-impact solutions. They will also empower the organisation to collaborate with local stakeholders and civil society by sharing data tools and analytical insights to support regional and country-level initiatives. Ember has recently partnered with the Turing Institute to access cutting-edge AI techniques and developers. 

Ember gathers, curates and analyses data on the global power sector and coal mine methane emissions, publishing this openly and accessibly. It uses data-driven insights to shift the conversation towards high impact policies and empower other advocates to do the same.

Ember’s integration of rigorous power sector analysis, accessible data modeling, and strategic deployment of AI technology positions them to serve as a catalyst for Europe’s clean energy future. Their ability to transform complex grid and clean energy data into high-impact solutions, while building strong partnerships with local stakeholders and institutions, exemplifies the kind of evidence-based approach needed to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and drive ambitious climate action at scale.
