Intensel

Core Features

Intensel is built around a climate risk-to-financial impact methodology, combining high-resolution climate models with asset-level financial data. Its key capabilities include:

• Asset-Level Climate Risk Analysis: Evaluates exposure of individual assets or portfolios to hazards such as flooding, storms, and wildfires using geospatial modelling.

• Climate Value-at-Risk (CVaR): Quantifies potential financial losses from climate events, translating physical risk into investment-relevant metrics.

• Scenario Analysis (IPCC-Aligned): Models risks across multiple climate scenarios and timeframes (e.g., 2020–2100) to support forward-looking planning.

• High-Resolution Hazard Mapping: Provides granular flood, wildfire, and storm risk data (down to tens of metres resolution) for precise risk screening.

• Automated Risk Reporting: Generates structured outputs including risk scores, exposure analysis, and financial impact reports aligned with frameworks such as TCFD.

• Adaptation & Resilience Modelling: Assesses how mitigation measures (e.g., infrastructure changes) reduce risk and financial losses under future scenarios.

Closing Insights

Intensel was founded by Dr. Entela Benz and Ashley Heghland, combining expertise in climate science, financial risk, and ESG advisory. The platform reflects this dual focus by embedding climate modelling directly into financial analysis, enabling users to evaluate both exposure and economic consequences of climate events. Intensel has received recognition in international fintech competitions, most recently the COP28 UAE Climate Summit.

Looking ahead, Intensel’s emphasis on high-resolution data and financial quantification aligns with increasing regulatory pressure for climate risk disclosure. For organisations moving beyond emissions reporting toward resilience planning, it offers a specialised tool for integrating physical climate risk into investment and operational decisions.
