Working outside your expertise creates risk. Mitigate that risk by working with experts.
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.
