About us

We stand on the shoulders of giants. This project is an arm’s length project of Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales (IDDRI.org), and it was made possible by an initial database of global steel facilities established by the Global Energy Monitor
The Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI) is an independent, not-for-profit policy research institute based in Paris. Its objective is to identify the conditions and propose tools to put sustainable development at the heart of international relations and public and private policies. IDDRI is also a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform and supports stakeholders in global governance debates on the major issues of common interest, such as actions to mitigate climate change, protect biodiversity, strengthen food security, and to manage urbanisation. The institute also participates in work to build development trajectories that are compatible with national priorities and the sustainable development goals.
In a world confronting a changing climate, data that informs strategies and solutions is more important than ever. Global Energy Monitor studies the evolving international energy landscape, creating databases, reports, and interactive tools that enhance understanding. Our work transforms complexity into clarity, enhancing the quality of public discourse on energy and the environment.
Industrial Gas Users Association, also known as l’Association des consommateurs industriels de gaz, represents approximately twenty of Ontario and Quebec’s highly reputed industrial gas users. Our experienced team of lawyers and analysts maintains a strong network with peers and utility executives to offer you prompt and remarkable service.
