Floodlight vs Jupiter Intelligence
Physical climate risk specialist providing asset-level, multi-peril climate risk scores and financial translation to credit loss and cashflow metrics. Trusted by insurers, infrastructure investors, and banks.
Satellite-verified emissions data
Emissions figures derived from independent atmospheric satellite observations, not reported disclosures or emissions factors.
Jupiter does not address GHG emissions at all.
Asset-level monitoring
Emissions and risk scores tied to individual facilities, buildings, or assets - not rolled-up sector or company averages.
Both provide asset-level data. Floodlight for emissions; Jupiter for physical risk.
Independent third-party verification
Data produced without reliance on issuer self-disclosure; independently reproducible and auditable by third parties.
Jupiter's physical risk scores are independently modelled from climate science.
Continuous / near-real-time monitoring
Emissions tracked on an ongoing basis with alerts for anomalies; not a once-a-year snapshot.
Jupiter provides forward-looking risk projections, not real-time monitoring.
Global asset coverage (190+ countries)
Coverage of industrial and commercial assets worldwide, not limited to North America or Western Europe.
Scope 1 direct emissions
Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources including combustion, process emissions, and fugitive releases.
Scope 3 / PCAF financed emissions
Financed emissions across lending and investment portfolios aligned with PCAF data quality scores 1-3.
Methane and fugitive emissions detection
Detection of methane leaks, venting, and flaring events often missed by factor-based inventories.
CBAM embedded emissions reporting
Facility-level embedded emissions per CN code for EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism importer reporting.
Physical climate risk assessment
Asset-level exposure scores for flood, heat stress, wildfire, sea-level rise, water stress, hurricane, and other perils.
Jupiter is a market leader for physical risk with multi-peril, long-horizon projections and explicit financial translation.
Transition risk assessment
Exposure to regulatory carbon costs, stranded-asset risk, and technology disruption under decarbonisation scenarios.
Jupiter focuses on physical risk only.
Climate Value-at-Risk (Climate VaR)
Probabilistic financial loss estimate under named climate scenarios, in the same units as market and credit VaR.
Jupiter provides financial translation to credit and cashflow metrics; not presented as VaR in the standard sense.
NGFS Phase V scenario alignment
Stress-testing across all six NGFS Phase V reference pathways (Net Zero 2050, Below 2C, Delayed Transition, etc.).
Jupiter uses its own scenario framework; NGFS alignment is partial.
Portfolio-level VaR aggregation
Covariance-adjusted roll-up of asset VaRs to portfolio level with diversification benefit and concentration heatmaps.
CSRD / ESRS E1 compliance
Data mapped to CSRD ESRS E1 data-point IDs including E1-5, E1-6, and E1-9 financial-effects table.
SFDR / Principal Adverse Impact (PAI)
PAI indicators for Article 8 and 9 funds including GHG intensity, biodiversity, water, and social metrics.
Full audit trail and data provenance
Every figure traceable to satellite overpass, model version, and confidence band - reproducible by external reviewers.
Jupiter's transparent, auditable methodology is a noted strength.
REST API access
Programmatic access to all data via documented REST API with pre-trade and portfolio query modes.
Honest verdict
Where Floodlight wins
Jupiter Intelligence focuses exclusively on physical risk and does not address greenhouse gas emissions, carbon accounting, PCAF, CBAM, or transition risk. Clients who need a single platform covering both the emissions side and the climate risk side - which is increasingly required for CSRD E1, PCAF, and internal risk frameworks - will need Floodlight for the emissions component. Floodlight also provides transition risk, Climate VaR under NGFS pathways, and the regulatory reporting workflows (CSRD, SFDR, CBAM) that Jupiter does not offer.
Where Jupiter Intelligence wins
Jupiter is one of the deepest physical climate risk specialists in the market. Its ClimateScore Global product covers multi-peril asset-level risk with explicit financial translation to credit default probability and cashflow metrics. Jupiter's transparent, auditable methods and long-horizon (2100) projections are particularly valued by infrastructure investors, mortgage lenders, and insurance underwriters who need granular physical peril scores rather than portfolio-level summaries.
