Overview
Who we are & what we do
Aether provides consultancy in air quality and climate change emissions inventories, forecasting and policy analysis. We also provide air quality assessments for property developers.
Aether was founded in 2008 by senior members of the UK’s national emission inventory team. The initial team of four has now grown to more than 20, based in Oxford.
By transforming complex emissions data into robust emissions inventories we can deliver demonstrable environmental intelligence that can be used to inform policy decisions. Policy makers are then able to make informed, evidence based, environmental and economic decisions towards helping to reach emission reduction targets.
Alongside our core business, our team can also provide guidance on how to establish a framework and the tools needed to calculate emissions inventories for future years.
Aether is at the forefront of international, national and local greenhouse gas (GHG) and air quality emissions calculation and review and we are respected internationally for our niche expertise in this area. We have significant experience in providing GHG emission modelling, the development of scenarios based on national statistics, local growth projections and specific local policies and measures.
We have key sector-specific experts (energy, industry, waste and agriculture/land use) who are internationally accredited in the collection, compilation, analysis and reporting/presentation of GHG emissions. Our core skills are in compiling, manipulating and presenting environmental data and we are experts with databases, spreadsheets, infographics and GIS.
At Aether we strive to provide excellent customer service, high quality evidence based analysis, and innovation. At the same time we create an enjoyable working environment.
