How we prioritize

Two ways a pathway develops

Priority Track

Resourced and targeted for release. These pathways have the data and resource ingredients we need.

We have what we need — dates are set.

Exploratory Track

In the pipeline, but missing data or resources. We've identified the need — the ingredients aren't yet in place.

Your data and expertise help us move pathways to the Priority Track.

Your role

How a pathway moves forward

FromExploratory
Supplied by the market
Data Expertise
ToPriority

Pathways aren't on a fixed waiting list. Sharing your data and resources is the difference.

A shared endeavor

Help move a pathway forward

The fastest way an exploratory pathway becomes a priority is market support. Five ways to take part — if you can contribute data, resources, or funding, we'd love to talk.

Share data

Anonymized operational energy or carbon data for any market or property type strengthens the baselines our pathways rest on.

Start a conversation

Convene the sector

Bring owners, investors, and operators together within a sector or region. Coordinated contribution is often what unlocks an exploratory segment.

Convene a group

Provide expert input

Sector-specific or regional technical knowledge that helps us sense-check assumptions and validate outputs before publication.

Join a review

Fund or partner

Co-invest in the research process through funding, in-kind contributions, or formal collaboration. Funding directly accelerates pathway development.

Explore a partnership

Express interest

Tell us where you can help on a specific pathway and we will keep you in the conversation.

How do CRREM pathways get updated?

The CRREM Pathways are maintained, updated, and governed over time — with transparency, scientific rigor, and market-participant engagement in every revision. CRREM's Change & Update Protocol rests on five pillars:

  1. 01

    Update frequency

    Defined review cycles keep pathways aligned with the latest climate science, energy data, and regulatory developments.

  2. 02

    Stakeholder involvement

    Structured processes engage investors, data providers, academics, and industry partners in pathway reviews.

  3. 03

    Consultation procedures

    Open consultation periods let the broader market review and comment on proposed pathway changes.

  4. 04

    Data input criteria

    Standards for the quality, provenance, and timeliness of the data sources behind pathway calculations.

  5. 05

    Implementation considerations

    How updates are phased, communicated, and integrated into existing tools and workflows.

The Technical Council and CRREM Foundation Board oversee the Pathways; any change follows the approval and adoption protocols in their Terms of Reference — keeping updates independent, science-based, and aligned with the Foundation's public-interest mission.
