Future Scaling Carbon Reductions Initiative (SCRI) Development Projects
A key part of our Mission Statement and purpose is to release impactful work; to enable scalable carbon reductions. We do this through the release of impactful data, tools and resources, for all to use.
In order to fund the development and maintenance of such resources, we have initiated a Scaling Carbon Reductions Initiative (SCRI), to divert some of the income from our sales towards resources that facilitate carbon emission reductions around the world. Below are just some of the development projects we would like to fund as part of this initiative.
The ICE Database
There are many areas of the ICE Database that we would like to update or introduce. Below, you will find a list of projects that we are seeking funding sources for. As a reminder, the ICE Database is a free resource, therefore by becoming a sponsor of these updates, the outputs will benefit many users of the new and improved data, helping to reduce carbon emissions in projects around the world.

- Aggregates
- Aluminium
- Asphalt & bitumen
- Carpets
- Copper
- Glass
- Iron
