The Carbon Tracker Initiative (CTI) was set up a few years ago to investigate what levels of future carbon emissions were being financed. By comparing the stocks of carbon in the form of coal, oil, and gas in the ground with carbon budgets that equate to degrees of warming, we have demonstrated the huge overhang of carbon in our energy system – what we refer to as “unburnable carbon.”
