Bloomberg has launched new tools within its climate solutions suite to help investors assess how companies and portfolios perform as low-carbon technologies expand.
The new analytics aim to support financial institutions in identifying opportunities, evaluating risk, and aligning portfolios with sustainability targets for resilient investment returns.
The launch comes amid a rapid increase in global investment in clean technologies. According to BloombergNEF (BNEF), investment in low-carbon technologies surged from $160bn in 2009 to $2.1tn in 2024, with renewable energy projects alone attracting a record $386bn in the first half of 2025—up 10% from the previous year. As this trend continues, investors are under growing pressure to evaluate how the global transition is reshaping company strategies and returns.
Bloomberg, known for providing comprehensive financial intelligence and data-driven tools for the global markets, has expanded its offerings to deliver a more holistic view of transition risk. While traditional models have focused primarily on carbon pricing, Bloomberg’s enhanced analytics integrate bottom-up assessments of company exposure to market forces, policy shifts, and technological developments.
The new product enables investors to evaluate and compare companies through detailed insights into revenue and capital expenditure exposure across clean energy and fossil fuels, as well as the credibility of their carbon targets and transition plans. Users can also assess how evolving market dynamics may impact company revenues under different climate scenarios.
Bloomberg’s latest climate analytics are available on the Bloomberg Terminal, through Data License, and via bnef.com. The expanded dataset includes transition revenue-at-risk analytics, carbon forecasts, and credibility assessments, covering companies that represent 96% of global market capitalisation. These insights allow users to understand exposure to transition risks, analyse low-carbon investments, and perform revenue sensitivity analyses across multiple timeframes.
Developed by BNEF, the transition exposure revenues dataset provides visibility into how over 100,000 companies derive income from 23 clean energy and fossil-fuel activities. This data enables financial institutions to gauge corporate exposure to the global energy transition.
Additionally, Bloomberg has introduced transition capital expenditure (capex) data accessible through the Terminal and Data License. This forward-looking dataset captures reported corporate investments in low-carbon technologies across energy, transport, and infrastructure sectors. It is complemented by BNEF’s Transition Capex Tool, which offers granular insight into 9,000 companies and over 70,000 transactions spanning 23,000 entities. The tool covers $5.26tn in estimated spending and 5.3 terawatts of power capacity between 2014 and 2024, allowing users to identify leaders in the energy transition.
Bloomberg head of transition analytics Jessica Bennett said, “Bloomberg’s enhanced transition offering provides deeper insights into how companies are exposed and adapting to the rise of low-carbon technologies. As this trend continues to evolve, we are committed to provide the analytics investors need to identify leaders and laggards, unlock value and mitigate risks.”
