Kyle from Iconic Air is back with us, and a lot has changed since his early days pitching the company at a West Virginia University business competition. Fast forward, Iconic Air has now raised $5 million in venture funding and is tackling the growing carbon accounting needs of oil and gas operators. With new SEC regulations making carbon data as crucial as financials, and the IRA bill introducing stricter emissions standards, carbon accounting is no longer just a checkbox—it’s reshaping how companies operate and attract capital. Iconic Air is stepping up with a “Turbo Tax” approach for carbon data, making compliance straightforward for operators of any size. Kyle shares insights on how they’re navigating evolving frameworks from the EPA and SEC, the rising demand for certified clean energy, and why carbon transparency is becoming a competitive edge. As carbon accounting shifts from a regulatory burden to a business necessity, Iconic Air is ready to support operators on this journey toward sustainability.
