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. As an advisor to the Transportation Energy Institute,

Luke spends time shaping the future of carbon markets and influencing policy across multiple sectors, with the goal of impacting global change where it’s needed most. 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, after a 10 year hiatus from Finance and Energy. 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.
