EDM Council and Fiùtur Advance Data Standards for Measuring Impact of Clean Energy Transition Loans

NEW YORK, February 26, 2025 – EDM Council, the global advocate for data and analytics management, and Fiùtur, a DAML-based Canton-compatible digital verification platform, announce a strategic collaboration aimed at standardizing the measurement of key performance metrics for Transition Loans. Energy Transition Loans are critical in financing and supporting companies and activities that are moving toward lower-carbon emitting products and operations. They play a crucial role in mobilizing the necessary capital to achieve global climate goals and ensure a sustainable energy future. They help bridge the financing gap in energy transition initiatives and investing in new and innovative energy technologies.

In support of Energy Transition initiatives, the collaboration between EDM Council and Fiùtur have successfully developed a proof of concept that provides a standardized, practical framework to measure carbon emissions reductions linked to terms of Energy Transition Loans. A key barrier to the broader adoption of these loans has been the challenge of demonstrating progress against emissions-reduction targets at the asset-level. An immediate benefit of this project will provide the needed standardization for measurements linked to lending terms and hold organizations accountable with respect to meeting the goals for clean energy transition.

“Our collaboration with Fiùtur has delivered a real-world, data-driven model that will bring to light the analysis and insights that more precisely define the value for Transition Loans,” said John Bottega, President, EDM Council. “We are proud to be a part of bringing this standardized data to investors and other stakeholders so that they have greater confidence as they transition to investments in clean energy.”

By leveraging EDM Council’s industry standard financial data model – FIBO (Financial Industry Business Ontology) and Fiùtur’s trusted outcomes platform, financial institutions will be able to connect the terms of Transition Loans to the environmental performance of the financed real-world production assets. This standards framework will allow lenders to offer data-driven loan structures that meet carbon tax requirements, reduce transition risks and reward stakeholders for meeting decarbonization goals.

“Partnering with EDM Council is a pivotal step toward establishing a fully standardized digital ecosystem for tracking, verifying and tokenizing the real-world outcomes of Transition Loans,” said Joe Madden, CEO, Fiùtur. “By integrating our Canton-compatible digital governance framework with EDM Council’s standardized ontologies, financial institutions gain a verified, secure method to measure and tokenize decarbonization progress.”

Fiùtur’s digital governance framework will play a critical role in ensuring that participants in transition finance can standardize their processes and outcomes. This will help reliably demonstrate the true value of asset-backed claims and provide capital providers with the transparency and tools they need to make informed decisions on transition investments. Fiùtur’s open, shared, immutable network of networks can efficiently and securely deliver critical performance data from producing assets at the edge of the global supply chain to the capital ecosystem, leveraging the developed ontology.

In addition to the collaboration on Transition Loans, EDM Council and Fiùtur are working together to launch a Data Center Program to digitally govern and meet the sustainability objectives of the various parties involved in building, using, monitoring, financing and regulating them globally.
