Heather Jones

Heather leads a small team of greenhouse gas experts that work across divisions within S&P Global Commodity Insights to provide guidance and expertise related to greenhouse gases.  Much of the team’s work is focused on evaluating different assets and commodities on a life-cycle GHG intensity or carbon intensity basis.  This work feeds into carbon accounted pricing assessments and other standalone products within S&P Global Commodity Insights. Heather’s career interests involve standardization of emission quantification of supply chains, decarbonization opportunities and evaluating polices for effectiveness of climate goals. 

Heather has had an extensive career ranging from deep expertise in greenhouse gas emissions and air quality to broader knowledge in a range of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) metrics.  Heather has done extensive consulting work in the past while owning her own consulting firm for over 15 years with clients ranging from small to major oil and gas operators to hydrogen producers to oil and gas associations. Most recently, prior to joining S&P, Heather was Program Director for a prominent organization focused on certification of natural gas operators based upon a broad spectrum of ESG metrics.  Heather holds a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia and is an actively registered Professional Engineer with APEGA.
