- Carbon Projects: identification, feasibility study, development, implementation;
- Renewable Energy Projects: identification, feasibility study, conception;
- Biomass thermal conversion.
Neutralize your company's greenhouse gas emissions:
- Emissions inventory, using proven methodologies and developing customized calculation tools, covering both the company's process (value chain, direct responsibility, scope 1) and that of its suppliers (supply chain, indirect responsibility, scopes 2 and 3);
- Technical assessment of activities carried out by the company and identify its compliance with applicable environmental standards;
- Indicate potential risks and prevention, control, mitigation, or correction actions to be adopted to ensure legal compliance, the sustainable development of the business, or the continuity of operations without interruptions;
- Evaluate the company's electrical and thermal energy efficiency, identifying opportunities to reduce consumption and optimize the use;
- Consultancy for net zeroing carbon emissions, involving the reduction of emissions and the acquisition of carbon credits.
Development of Projects to Generate Carbon Credits:
- Identification of opportunities;
- Elaboration of feasibility studies involving methodological, regulatory, technical, and commercial aspects;
- Development of carbon project according to selected framework and methodology;
- Support in the process of auditing, validating, and implementing the project;
- Support in the process of monitoring, verifying, and issuing carbon credits;
- Support for management and commercialization of generated carbon credits.
