PRACTICE AREAS

Carbon & Energy

GHG inventories, carbon projects, and decarbonization strategies with measurable returns. Technical and regulatory knowledge applied to the low-carbon economy.

Consolidated experience in high-complexity projects.

Over 30 years leading sensitive projects for national and multinational companies, with technical rigor and a strategic understanding of the client's context.

Our philosophy on Climate Change is straightforward: to actively contribute to the low-carbon economy, deliver solutions with immediate value and measurable returns, and create a competitive advantage for companies, investors, and consumers.

We work side-by-side with clients and partners to generate and share environmental assets—including carbon credits—based on established methodologies and calculation tools customized for each value chain.

Studies and activities developed:
  • GHG Emissions Inventory (value chain & supply chain)
  • Offsetting and Neutralization Strategy
  • Carbon generation and reduction in the corporate portfolio
  • Technical advisory for carbon credit acquisition
  • Energy Efficiency Assessment (electrical and thermal)
  • Carbon Projects: identification, feasibility, development, and implementation
  • Renewable Energy Projects: feasibility and design
  • Thermal conversion of biomass

Deliveries that enabled businesses, unlocked permits, and protected assets.

A selection of projects where technical depth and business insight combined to help companies make more strategic and intelligent decisions.
