Heatprint™
Heatprint™ is GHR’s climate decision intelligence service for measuring and comparing the warming impact of emissions and mitigation pathways across decision-relevant timeframes, including 2030, 2040, and 2050. Using Heatprint analysis, organizations can identify which actions reduce atmospheric heat fastest, prioritize mitigation investments, reduce business and physical risks, and maximize climate ROI.
Powered by Total Climate Accounting™
Total Climate Accounting™ is GHR’s CO₂e-PLUS framework that builds on conventional greenhouse gas accounting by incorporating the full range of climate drivers — including methane, refrigerants, black carbon, and other super pollutants — together with their heat impacts over time.
