Global energy think tank that uses data and policy to accelerate the clean energy transition
Ember , formerly Sandbag , is an independent global energy think tank that uses data and policy to accelerate the clean energy transition.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] Headquartered in the UK,[ 6] the organisation was launched in 2008 by Bryony Worthington .
Ember was originally founded in 2008 as Sandbag, focussing on the European Union 's Emission Trading Scheme , allowing its members to campaign to reduce the number of permits in circulation and to purchase permits and cancel them.
Sandbag was re-branded as Ember in 2020[ 7] with a focus on the global power sector, while a separate Brussels-based organisation was established to continue work on the ETS.[ 8]
Ember currently produces research on global electricity trends[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12] and coal mine methane emissions,[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] including research on the EU,[ 16] [ 17] [ 18] [ 19] India,[ 20] [ 21] [ 22] [ 23] [ 24] Indonesia,[ 25] [ 26] [ 27] [ 28] Australia[ 29] [ 30] and Türkiye.[ 31]
Ember’s open data covers annual electricity generation data for over 200 countries and regions, and monthly electricity generation data for 85 countries and regions.[ 32] It also provides 16 open data tools which track regional and global electricity transitions and coal mine methane emissions standards.[ 33]
