CARBON CREDITS
Carbon credits are measurable, verifiable emission reductions from certified climate action projects. These projects reduce, remove or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but they also bring a whole host of other benefits, for example, they empower communities, protect ecosystems, restore forests and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. They can be purchased by an individual or, more commonly, a company to make up for carbon dioxide emissions that come from industrial production, delivery vehicles or travel. Carbon credits are most often created through agricultural or forestry practices, although a credit can be made by nearly any project that reduces, avoids, destroys or captures emissions.
GCA trading desk focuses on primary and secondary voluntary markets (Verra VCS, Gold Standard, UNFCCC,GCC). GCA executes spot and forward contracts on OTC basis or through dedicated market platforms. GCA offers fixed and/or floating price structures to asset owners and designs customized commercial terms to optimize carbon assets value. GCA gives access to carbon markets by providing an end-to-end solution in carbon origination (projects identification, project eligibility and potential assessment, certification support, pre-financing and offtake solutions), carbon trading (analysis, research, transactions), and carbon advisory (carbon footprint, carbon neutrality, CO2 offsetting).
RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATE (RECs)
A REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) is a type of Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) that represents the environmental attributes of the generation of a one-megawatt hour (MWh) of energy produced by renewable sources. Using EACs, end-users around the world can make reliable claims about their energy usage such as: “my factory runs on 100% renewable energy”, “our products are made with 100% wind energy”, and “our global electricity usage causes zero end-ofpipe emissions.” EAC schemes can accelerate a country’s energy transition by putting an additional, marketable value on renewable energy production.
RENEWABLE ENERGY (Solar, Wind, Water)
HYDROGEN (H-Rec)
Agriculture (Carbon Farming)
Biochar (C-Capsule)
Producers of renewable energy can sell both the energy and the related EAC. By providing a complementary income stream, the trade of EACs can reduce the reliance on national public renewable energy support schemes for renewable energy producers seeking to ensure the economic viability of their projects. This means that any public money available for supporting renewable energy generation can go to those projects in most need of it and/or can be spread across more projects.
Energy produced by these renewable energy projects reduces the amount of energy that must be procured from other projects using fossil fuels
Hydrogen is expected to complement renewable electricity and play an important, if not a fundamental role, in the world’s transition towards a cleaner and more secure energy future. H-Rec ensures consumers can mitigate emissions while providing a revenue stream for Hydrogen activity
Removing carbon from the atmosphere through regenerative farming by supporting the business model of farmers.
has been developed to allow issuance of CDR certificates for sets of distributed biochar production systems. The associated digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) protocols allow for kilns to be located in potentially remote locations, where the positive social and environmental impacts of biochar production and use are highest
