At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, CNA's Ishan Garg interviewed the CEO of Carbon Measures about how standardised carbon accounting and policy-business collaboration can speed up global decarbonisation. The conversation covers pressure on heavy emitters, from manufacturing and agriculture to AI's rising power use. Garg's core point is that common accounting standards are needed before green competition means anything. When every company measures emissions on the same baseline, buyers and regulators can compare real performance instead of relying on marketing claims. The clip is useful for anyone tracking corporate climate disclosure, carbon market design, or the energy footprint of AI. It is a short watch, about six and a half minutes, and sticks to the practical side of emissions policy.

Short interview clip from the Bloomberg New Economy Forum. Carbon Measures CEO makes the case for standardised carbon accounting and policy that rewards green competition. Worth watching if you follow how corporate reporting rules actually move markets.

The AI energy demand angle is what pulls people in. If data centres have to report real emissions under the same rules as manufacturers, it changes procurement decisions fast. The accounting standard is the part that makes that bite.

Would like to know how this plays out on the grid. If AI loads face real carbon accounting, do we get more PPAs for firm power or just more REC shuffling? Those two paths look very different for transmission and storage buildout.

Standardised accounting is the boring but necessary piece. Without a common baseline, green competition is just marketing. Good that the CEO put that first instead of jumping to flashier tech fixes.

Policy-business collaboration only works if the policy has teeth. Voluntary disclosure gets you a lot of reports and not much reduction. Would have liked the interview to get specific on which rules actually force change.

The green competition framing only works when buyers can compare apples to apples. That is exactly why the standardised accounting point matters. Nothing controversial here, just basic market design doing its job.
