Sectors

Sectors where measurement and readiness matter most.

Starting in Nigeria, with wider African expansion planned, we assess organisations and projects in sectors where emissions measurement and carbon credit questions commonly arise. Each sector raises its own evidence challenges.

Renewable energy and distributed power

Solar mini-grids, off-grid solar and captive renewable generation can displace diesel and petrol generators, which many businesses and communities rely on where grid supply is limited or unreliable.

Solar mini-grids
Commercial and industrial solar
Off-grid solar systems
Hybrid systems replacing diesel generation

Questions we examine

What would have happened without the project, and how is that baseline evidenced?
Is the project additional, given its financial case without carbon revenue?
How is generation metered and how continuous is the data?

Clean cooking

Improved cookstoves and cleaner fuels can reduce household reliance on firewood and charcoal. Integrity questions in this sector have received significant scrutiny, which makes evidence quality especially important.

Improved biomass cookstoves
LPG and other cleaner fuel transitions
Electric cooking

Questions we examine

How is actual stove use monitored over time, not just distribution?
Which assumptions about fuel savings and non-renewable biomass are used, and are they conservative and evidenced?
How are households engaged and how are rights to reductions documented?

Waste and methane

Organic waste in landfills and open dumps produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Capture, composting and waste diversion can reduce these emissions.

Landfill gas capture
Composting and organic waste diversion
Biogas from agricultural or food waste

Questions we examine

How is the methane baseline estimated and what data supports it?
How are captured or avoided volumes measured?
Who owns the site and the rights to any reductions?

Agriculture, forestry and land use

Nature-based activities such as agroforestry, reforestation and improved land management can remove or avoid emissions, but they raise particular questions about permanence, leakage, land tenure and community consent.

Agroforestry
Reforestation and restoration
Improved agricultural land management

Questions we examine

Is land tenure clear, and how are communities consulted and their consent recorded?
How are risks of reversal and leakage addressed?
What monitoring approach is realistic for the area and land type?

Industry and energy efficiency

Manufacturers and industrial operators can reduce emissions through efficiency, fuel switching and process changes, often with cost savings regardless of any crediting route.

Energy efficiency upgrades
Fuel switching
Process changes and heat recovery

Questions we examine

What is the measured baseline at site level, by scope?
Which reductions are cost-effective without carbon revenue?
Would any activity meet the eligibility tests of a recognised standard?

Transport and logistics

Fleet operators and logistics businesses can reduce fuel use through route optimisation, fleet renewal and electrification where infrastructure allows.

Fleet fuel efficiency
Electric two and three wheelers
Logistics and route optimisation

Questions we examine

How reliable is fuel and mileage data across the fleet?
What is the realistic reduction pathway given vehicle and charging availability?
Is there any double counting risk with other programmes or reporting?

Who we work with

Organisations we are set up to support

Project developers
Understand whether a project has a credible crediting route and what it needs before independent validation.
Renewable energy companies
Evidence baselines, metering and additionality for distributed and captive generation projects.
Industrial operators
Measure site emissions, plan reductions and understand any reporting or compliance implications.
Sustainability leaders
Build a defensible baseline and a realistic decarbonisation roadmap for the organisation.
Climate investors
Understand the evidence and readiness position of projects under consideration.

Start with an honest view of your project.

Tell us about your organisation or project. We will reply by email to discuss whether a baseline, a feasibility assessment or a readiness assessment is the right next step.
