Gigi Alsaadi on Measuring Future Emissions Impact: Gigi Alsaadi on Assessing Overlooked Climate Solutions

🎯 In this episode: Gigi Alsaadi, Co-Founder of KanataQ and CRANE Fellow at Prime Coalition, joins Net Zero Compare to discuss how forward-looking greenhouse gas impact modeling can help investors, companies, and sustainability teams assess the future emissions impact of climate solutions.The conversation explores why traditional carbon accounting, which focuses mainly on historical emissions, is not always enough to evaluate early-stage climate technologies. Alsaadi explains how avoided emissions analysis compares a future where a solution scales with a future where the incumbent technology or process continues. This distinction is especially important for climate innovation, where historical deployment data may be limited but future emissions reduction potential could be significant. A key focus is the importance of credible incumbent scenarios, additionality, system boundaries, and avoiding double counting. The episode also examines CRANE, an open-access tool launched by Prime Coalition and developed with Rho Impact to support transparent, forward-looking impact assessment for climate technologies. Alsaadi highlights why impact claims should be supported by clear assumptions, realistic market adoption scenarios, uncertainty ranges, and regular model updates as better data becomes available. Ultimately, the discussion shows that credible climate impact assessment is not about producing a single headline number. It is about using transparent methodology, defensible assumptions, and sensitivity analysis to support better investment, procurement, and climate strategy decisions.🔗 Read the full article:https://netzerocompare.com/podcasts/net-zero-compare-podcast/gigi-alsaadi-prime-coalition📍 Guest: Gigi Alsaadi, Co-Founder of KanataQ and CRANE Fellow at Prime Coalitionhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/giedrealsaadi/🎙 Interview by: Karol Kaczmarek, Co-Founder of Net Zero Comparehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/karol-kaczmarek-39a29651/#GigiAlsaadi #PrimeCoalition #CRANE #KanataQ #GHGImpact #AvoidedEmissions #CarbonAccounting #ClimateTech #ClimateInnovation #Sustainability #ESG #ImpactInvesting #ClimateInvesting #Decarbonization #NetZero #NetZeroCompare***At Net Zero Compare, we deliver clear, data-backed insights for decision-makers navigating ESG reporting, net-zero compliance, and clean energy adoption.🌐 https://netzerocompare.com📩 Contact us: [email protected]📚 Explore the Academy: https://netzerocompare.com/academy📰 Read more insights: https://netzerocompare.com/articles
