Overview
Econergy International's Carbon Markets Group provides extensive services to projects that capitalize on the compliance market around the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, as well as voluntary trading among US and European actors. Our work in this area ranges from supporting the development of projects that reduce GHG emissions to providing services for project preparation and registration, as well as brokerage of credits into voluntary or regulatory markets.

History
Econergy International is one of the pioneers in the carbon markets. We developed the first methodology submitted to the governing body of the CDM, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and continue to successfully shepherd our own and others' projects through the UNFCCC regulatory process. Our staff also has extensive experience with the leading regulatory and voluntary market actors in identifying, assessing and contracting for carbon credits from US-based projects that reduce GHG emissions.

Office Specializations
From our São Paulo, Brazil office, Carbon Markets performs carbon due diligence on the company's projects in Latin America that generate GHG offsets, and provides technical advice and support to numerous public and private entities to further the development of the international carbon trading system.
From our US offices, we actively pursue project development in the US that optimizes the potential to benefit from growing regulatory and voluntary demand for GHG emission reduction credits. We also contribute to the development of programs at the state and federal level which foster investment in high-quality GHG emission reduction projects domestically and internationally.

Goals of Participating in Regulated and Voluntary Markets
Our goals in the regulated and voluntary markets are: (1) to benefit from sales of high-quality CERs and VERs from our own projects; (2) to contribute to a greater understanding of the value of project-based offsets in achieving real, permanent and verifiable reductions in global GHG emissions; and (3) to capitalize on increasing acceptance of market mechanisms that achieve environmental goals.

Carbon Market Development
The Carbon Markets Group's primary purpose is to originate high-quality Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) for sale in regulatory and voluntary markets. We fulfill this purpose for the benefit of Econergy International's own investments as well as the investments of partners and clients. For both voluntary and regulatory market actors, we develop project documentation and establish protocols and procedures to ensure the greatest economic and environmental value offset projects.
Today, in addition to markets for “offset” generation and sale as drivers to low-carbon project development, we also capitalize on increased availability of private and public financing, favorable tax schemes, preferred permitting and licensing regimes, and consumer choice. The Carbon Markets Group therefore also guides companies' ability to make credible offerings of projects that provide useful energy and fuels while simultaneously reducing GHG emissions.

Carbon Project Transaction Support
Econergy International supports client projects through the verification stage, as well as assists the client with the Carbon Credits Transactions to ensure competitive prices with reliable buyers. Econergy's expertise in the transaction of Carbon Credits enables us to identify reliable buyers willing to purchase at competitive prices through valid and internationally-recognized contractual schemes.
