Internet resources for environmental engineering
Offers comprehensive coverage on clean technologies and alternative energy industry sectors worldwide. It contains detailed information on companies, deals, key events, and in-depth industry research.
A tool for finding climate change related disclosures in SEC filings allows users to filter and customize company 10-K filing excerpts relating to clean energy, renewables, weather risk and climate-related regulatory risks and opportunities. The tool scans filings, automatically identifies climate-related text, and sorts information into renewable energy, physical impacts and other categories. The tool covers all Russell 3000 companies from 2009 to 2014. In the future, the tool will extend its reach to include U.S. and non-U.S companies and coverage on a broader range of sustainability issues, including hydraulic fracturing and water availability.
