Ecometrica is an independent business
bringing together experienced analysts and world-class scientists.
Our dynamic team of professionals is based in Edinburgh, UK and in
Montreal, Canada. We maintain close links with leading academic
institutions.
We have three principal service areas
which are:
1. Greenhouse Gas assessment
(commonly called carbon
footprinting) where we provide assessments for businesses and
organisations, products, events and services. We also provide bespoke
carbon footprint calculators for the web. Our GHG assessments are the
most robust in the industry as they comply with the strictest
standards for greenhouse gas monitoring and reporting, use the most
up to date and geographically relevant emission coefficients and
report all Kyoto greenhouse gases, not just CO2. Furthermore our team
of GHG analysts are the most experienced in the world.
2. Land Use where we provide
services quantifying a range of ecosystem metrics including carbon
flux assessments for forestry schemes, water resource use and
biodiversity assessments. We also provide technical input to land use
project development and implementation as well as developing local
capacity to carry out land use projects that enhance or maintain
ecosystem services.
3. Policy and Research where we
undertake policy related research in themes relevant to climate
change and ecosystem management. We also compile technical papers
summarising recent technical or market developments and best
practice methods. Our approaches include critical analysis of
policy options, interpretation of quantitative data and examination
of new methods. Much of our work in this area is carried out in
collaboration with researchers from academic institutions, and each
year we support a number of Masters and Undergraduate research
topics.
