Getting the most out of climate solutions

2023 is Datu's 10th anniversary!

As we celebrate a decade of climate collaborations, we thank everyone who has been part of our journey!

Datu Research provides insights into climate solutions—and the people who use them—for leaders who are working to solve climate change.

Gain insights into your climate solution.

You may have a promising technology or service that could substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What incentivizes users to implement it as intended? Are there counter incentives you don’t know about? What potential pinch points are there in the supply chain, and how can you address them?

Get your questions answered.

To answer your questions, we do qualitative and quantitative research using publicly available industry data, along with surveys, focus groups, and interviews that help uncover not just the “what” but the “why.” We draw on decades of experience in oil and gas production, electric utilities, transportation, agriculture, green infrastructure for resilient cities, and more.

Move forward with clarity.

We facilitate meetings that build trust for collaboration and action. Have upcoming joint decisions to make with your colleagues and partners? Our facilitators can help keep your discussions focused and productive, creating the space for each participant to contribute their best thinking.

What Our Clients Say

  • Capacity

    “Datu Research brought a fresh perspective to a research challenge for our organization. Their ability to support an enormous research scope—30 site visits in 20 countries in less than three months—while still being flexible to our needs and feedback was critical to achieving our research objectives. I have been thrilled with the quality of the report Datu produced, and with the efforts of Datu’s team to provide clear direction and recommendation for the next phase of our project work. They were truly a pleasure to work with.”

    Hilary Leav, Manager, Research & Evaluation
    Rotary International

  • Synthesis

    “Datu’s ability to synthesize complex data on the world’s most pressing challenges and distill the most important lessons is unmatched. Their work has helped us gain a holistic understanding of a very complicated, and often opaque, industry and apply it to our advocacy.”

    Andrew Hutson, Director, Global Value Chain Initiatives
    Environmental Defense Fund

  • Expertise

    “Datu ably and quickly became knowledgeable on farmer adoption of conservation practices and used their deep expertise at gathering and sifting data to deliver insights that will be useful for the entire conservation sector.”

    Ryan Stockwell, Senior Agriculture Program Manager
    National Wildlife Federation

  • Impact

    “Datu carried out research into the self-replication of savings groups in Uganda, leading to findings that have significantly influenced the microfinance industry’s strategies for expanding this sector at low cost. The research was thorough, insightful and sophisticated and was carried out with enthusiasm. It was a pleasure to engage with an organization that cared about the work it was doing and that produced exceptional results.”

    Hugh Allen, CEO
    VSL Associates

  • Integrity

    “I have been fortunate to work with Datu on two research endeavors investigating the value chains of Louisiana’s Oyster and Shrimp industries and avenues to support economic resilience within each. Datu’s impeccable integrity as an independent, third-party research institute and its commitment to thoroughly investigate using primary and secondary data were integral to the success of these efforts.”
