Client Testimonials
“Dr. Tristan Smith and his team have been instrumental in ensuring that our initiatives to identify profitable carbon emission reductions in shipping are grounded in high-quality rigorous science, research and analysis.”

“Dr Tristan Smith and his team have provided our association with an invaluable and objective insight on the carbon intensity of the Belgian merchant fleet. The dedication of the team to get it right is exemplary”
