Project Performance Evaluation

As companies seek to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is common to develop carbon reduction projects, both internal to the company and external via developers.

A critical component to the success of these projects is the assurance that GHG reductions are actually occurring, and that projects are performing within the expected range – both fiscally and environmentally. 

ClearCarbon has evaluated many GHG reduction projects -- including energy efficiency, combined heat and power, anaerobic digestion for livestock methane capture, refrigeration leakage, and sequestration of carbon through soil management practices. Businesses that have invested in projects with the purpose of selling offsets, and anyone aiming to reduce their own carbon footprint, needs to understand the financial performance of such investments, as well as the carbon implications.

ClearCarbon provides detailed project performance evaluations to determine:

• Net present value;
• Payback period;
• Capital and operating cost requirements;
• Annual carbon reductions, and;
• Marginal cost of carbon abatement (MCCA).

Additionally, ClearCarbon provides analysis of commissioned projects to determine how well they are performing compared to their expected performance, as well as risk variable analyses to help our customers better understand what factors have the largest impact on the project’s success or failure.

If you are seeking to get certified emission reductions (CER’s), ClearCarbon can evaluate and advise you on whether development projects comply with the most reputable protocols and registries, thus increasing the value of each carbon offset produced.
