ICF helps its clients to consider the impacts of policy choices on the environment climate society health and the economy. We offer research analysis and programme management services to policymakers in the UK Government European Commission and national governments around Europe. We provide decision-makers with evidence on impacts advice on how policies are working and analysis of the likely effects of proposed policies. Our work involves technical analysis and modelling including substantial repeated service work under UK and EC programmes.

Our Energy and Climate team works extensively on improving energy efficiency and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions at national and international level. Our experts work at the intersection of policy and practice helping government and commercial clients worldwide devise effective energy and climate strategies and deliver implementation programmes.

For example we are currently working on:

• Conducting technical on-site audits at industrial and commercial facilities.
• Implementing grant support programmes for small to large scale industrial decarbonisation and energy efficiency projects and studies.
• Ecodesign and labelling regulations for a wide range of energy-using products
• Implementing financial mechanisms to deploy innovative renewable energy and low carbon technologies at large scale
• Scope 1 2 and 3 emission reporting and climate risk assessment for commercial clients
• Technical and economic analysis to underpin decarbonisation energy efficiency and renewable incentives and policy initiatives.
