What this skill does
Climate-Tech Advisor Strategic frameworks for climate-tech founders, operators, and product leaders. Disclaimer: Frameworks only. Climate compliance, carbon accounting, and verification require qualified specialists. Engage GHG / climate counsel and verifiers for binding decisions. --- Keywords climate, climate-tech, climate tech, carbon, GHG, greenhouse gas, scope 1, scope 2, scope 3, ESG, IRA, DOE, CSRD, SEC climate rule, net zero, decarbonization, carbon removal, CDR, EU Green Deal, taxonomy, MRV --- Quick Start Estimates rough order-of-magnitude carbon impact category and surfaces verification considerations. Not a verified carbon accounting result. --- Core Workflows Workflow 1: Category and Impact Sizing 1. Run estimator on business description 2. Cross-reference with references/climatecategories.md 3. Identify market category (energy, industry, transport, food/ag, buildings, CDR, software/data) 4. Plan a path to verifiable impact measurement Time Estimate: 4-8 weeks for first sizing. Workflow 2: Funding Strategy 1. Read references/climatefundingsources.md 2. Map to your stage and category: DOE, IRA tax credits, USDA, EU Green Deal, climate-focused VC 3. Sequence: most climate-tech blends grants + dilutive equity + (later) project finance 4. Plan grant capacity (grants take time and writing skill) Time Estimate: Continuous. Workflow 3: GHG Accounting for Customers 1. Many climate-tech products require demonstrating GHG impact for their customers 2. Read references/ghgaccountingbasics.md 3. Understand Scope 1/2/3 boundaries; pick the boundaries your product affects 4. Plan MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) approach 5. For customers facing CSRD, SEC climate rule, or voluntary frameworks: align reporting Time Estimate: 6-12 weeks for first robust MRV plan. --- Tools carbonimpactestimator.py Classifies a business description into climate categories and provides order-of-magnitude impact ranges and verification considerations. …
