Global Climate Strategies (GCS) assists large and midmarket entities with the resources needed to meet the new carbon compliance standards, both domestically and abroad. GCS provides unique solutions to assist companies in their carbon measurement, accounting, and implementation of reduction strategies. In many cases, companies find they have net carbon reduction assets that provide a rapid return on investment once they are identified.

GCS offers its expertise to parties interested in bringing their carbon reduction assets to market or assessing their potential future compliance obligations. By beginning these efforts early, businesses can qualify for early action credits and can also implement carbon reduction strategies in pre-compliance markets that inexpensively hedge future exposure to environmental regulation.

Carbon finance can be an arduous process, with several competing voluntary carbon standards, and hundreds of project protocols. After spending considerable time doing research, you may be more confused than when you started. You need an expert to quickly evaluate your project opportunities and exposure. GCS provides that expertise and guidance in a personalized and attentive manner.

GCS also utilizes its industry partners to aid in implementation and deployment of cost effective solutions. These projects provide attractive return on investment, improve the environment while yielding measurable economic and corporate sustainability goals. We are experts in the science, technology and project delivery of Carbon Reduction Projects, and we bring complete transparency through the entire delivery process.

The relationship with GCS can be structured in a variety of ways, including:

• Joint carbon project development: A sharing of the risk and the reward. GCS provides investment capital to bring your project to fruition. Carbon revenues are shared with the project originator.
• Fee for hire: We work for you on a fee basis and all of the carbon reduction credit and carbon revenue goes to you. This enables a client to retain full ownership of their carbon reduction assets.

We bring carbon finance revenue streams to enable projects that would otherwise not pass an economic hurdle rate. We can turn a modest project return on investment (ROI) into a stellar ROI, by optimizing tax incentives, grants and revenue streams from environmental attributes. We can assist with originating Carbon Offset Credits, RECs, Energy Efficiency Credits, federal, state, and local tax credits, grants, and loan guarantees.
