Carbon development services

Our carbon emission reduction team has developed one of the largest portfolios in the world.Camco’s role Being a professional developer of carbon emission reduction projects before the Kyoto protocol was introduced, we have vast experience in the financial structuring and technical delivery of projects across renewable, waste recovery, energy efficiency, coal mine, and biomass technologies. We work with companies to develop carbon projects in China, Africa, North America, Russia, South East Asia and Europe structuring each project to maximise the sale and delivery of emission reductions to compliance and voluntary buyers.Emission reduction governing schemes we work withCamco’s typical role is to evaluate project feasibility (leveraging existing or newly-created methodologies) and usher the projects through the respective governing schemes. We have experience working with the following frameworks:Kyoto ProtocolThe United Nations Kyoto Protocol’s flexible mechanisms for verifying emissions reductions include Clean Development Mechanism for developing countries (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) for developed countries. Both frameworks guide projects through a rigorous public registration and issuance process.
@bullets({Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)})Annex I countries (developed countries that have signed to the Kyoto Protocol) must comply with emissions reduction targets. Projects in developing countries (non-Annex I countries), that reduce emissions, can be eligible to receive emission reduction certificates called Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). CERs can be used by emitters in Annex I countries to offset their own emissions in order to comply with the countries emission reduction target. Whether a project is eligible and the amount of CERs it can issue is decided by the UNFCCs Executive Board based on stringent rules set out under the Kyoto Protocol. @bullets({Kyoto Protocol, Joint Implementation (JI)})Some developed countries do not have to comply with emissions reduction targets however they too can earn carbon credits called Voluntary Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) for their effort. ERUs can then be sold to companies, individuals, organisations and governments that wish to voluntarily offset their greenhouse gas emissions.

Organisations can voluntarily register their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with Climate Action Reserve who has developed a credible, accurate and consistent GHG reporting standards framework for multiple industry sectors and geographical borders in the US. Click through to Climate Action Reserve site Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a cooperative effort by ten Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States to limit greenhouse gas emissions. RGGI is the first mandatory, market-based CO2 emissions reduction program in the United States. Click through to RGGI site Western Climate InitiativeThe WCI is a collaboration of 11 US states working together voluntarily to tackle climate change. Their focus is on reducing greenhouse gas pollution, supporting growth in green technologies and a clean-energy economy, and reducing dependence on foreign oil.

CCX members make a voluntary but legally binding commitment to meet annual GHG emission reduction targets. CCX’s main objective is to apply financial innovation and incentives to advance social, environmental and economic goals. Click through to the CCX site Voluntary Carbon Standard The VCS Program provides a global standard and program for the approval of credible voluntary offsets. VCS offsets must follow a stringent criteria including being real, additional, measurable, permanent, independently verified and unique. Click through to the VCS site
