Generating Carbon Credits and Offsets
The ability to generate and qualify for carbon credits is key to sustainable funding strategies.

- Develop and verify carbon offset projects in accordance with the Emissions Reduction Fund framework, using specific criteria and approved methodologies to measure and verify reductions
- Assist clients in the submission of applications to the Clean Energy Regulator (‘CER’) detailing the project plan, methodology and expected emissions reduction
- Advise on how to implement and undertake projects according to approved methodology, helping to establish monitoring, data collection and project plan controls
- Perform carbon accounting measurement, reporting, verification and issuance processes
