Navigate the Complex World of Carbon Project Development

Project Development and Management​

Full project cycle management from project idea to issuance. We help you understand project feasibility, identify the baseline and MRV framework, review the financial viability, screen for alignment with leading standards and eligible methodologies, initiate stakeholder mapping, screen for social & environmental safeguards, and lead on the documentation preparation, data analysis and reporting, third-party auditing and standard reviews.

Project Scoping and Due Diligence

Lead with informed decisions based on project potential. Gain a comprehensive understanding of your project opportunities, context-specific carbon market trends, risks relevant to you including financial and reputational, applicable host country regulations and policies, project design strengths and improvements.

Carbon Market and Policy Advisory​

Advisory support for a specific project instance. Ideal for clients that require support on one aspect of the project decision-making. For example, to conduct market analysis and explore price trends, that inform financing options and structuring, or to assess regulatory frameworks and support alignment to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Portfolio Management​

From voluntary climate contributions, compliance with schemes such as CORSIA or financing the development of a project, Somerset Origination is your trusted partner to effectively manage your portfolio and project financing.
