  • For Palantir, the Russian invasion has created the potential for other products it developed, such as secure data transfer across allies.
  • The idea grew out of a pilot in 2021. Trafigura's global head of carbon trading approached Palantir with a desire to assess better indirect carbon footprints, known as "Scope Three" emissions.
  • Palantir derives almost half its sales from the private sector, with BP PLC (NYSE:BP) among its fossil-fuel extracting customers.
  • Price Action: PLTR shares traded lower by 1.75% at $7.87 premarket on the last check Tuesday.
