Global Climate Strategies develops, finances, aggregates and invests in projects that reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHGs). The reductions are quantified by using a measurement of the amount of equivalent Carbon Dioxide reduction that is achieved. Some Greenhouse gases are much more damaging than CO2. For example, each tonne of methane is equivalent to 21 tonnes of CO2 in global warming potential. The unit of measurement we use to measure reductions are metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent. (mtCO2e).
These reductions are then packaged, certified and sold according to a number of factors, such as where the reduction occurred, how it was verified and the type of project that caused the offset. There are a myriad of standards and market opportunities involved in both the voluntary and compliance markets.
Some of the certified reductions we deal with are Certified Emission Reduction (CER), Verified Emission Reduction (VER, VER+), Joint Initiative ERU, Gold Standard. In understanding the markets and buyers, we are able to tailor and direct our projects to optimize their financial performance. This enables us to continually extend our reach into new projects and regions.
