Luke Hanley

Luke Hanley strives to reshape the relationship between industry and carbon by building his company, 1089, as a platform to make decarbonization measurable, profitable, and widely adoptable. With little fanfare, he has aligned major players across diverse industries such as oil and gas, renewable energy, agriculture, and finance into a unified system designed for real-world impact. His approach is practical and incentive-driven, focused on making climate action something people can do, not just discuss.

Luke’s clarity comes from a life spent bridging divides. At fifteen, he brought internet to a post-Soviet Russian school; later, he developed solar finance models and led wilderness programs for at-risk youth. After a severe health collapse forced him into retreat, and a family crisis called him back, he re-started with nothing but a vision, cold-calling his way into boardrooms and building from scratch.

Luke is a devoted husband and father of twin daughters and a new baby boy. With his wife’s steady support, he found the strength to begin again. His work now reflects a more profound belief that real change happens when people are met where they are and invited to move forward together.
