[5] Headquartered in the UK,
[6] the organisation was launched in 2008 by
Bryony Worthington .
Ember was originally founded in 2008 as Sandbag, focussing on the
European Union 's
Emission Trading Scheme , allowing its members to campaign to reduce the number of permits in circulation and to purchase permits and cancel them.
Sandbag was re-branded as Ember in 2020
[7] with a focus on the global power sector, while a separate Brussels-based organisation was established to continue work on the ETS.

Ember currently produces research on global electricity trends

[12] and coal mine methane emissions,
[13]
[14]
[15] including research on the EU,

Ember’s open data covers annual electricity generation data for over 200 countries and regions, and monthly electricity generation data for 85 countries and regions.
[32] It also provides 16 open data tools which track regional and global electricity transitions and coal mine methane emissions standards.
