Carbon Markets
Greenhouse gas regulations and voluntary initiatives have created a multi-billion dollar industry with numerous markets for emission reduction credits. Emissions offsets are reductions in greenhouse gases created by capturing or otherwise reducing carbon emissions indirectly, for example by capturing the methane gas or changing forestry practices. DFC sources and conducts due diligence on voluntary and CDM and JI projects, we can help buyers of carbon credits obtain high-quality carbon credits and sellers obtain financing and bring projects to the markets, whether through the UNFCCC-Kyoto process, emerging U.S. state markets or voluntary purchasers. New regulations provide both challenges opportunities. DFC conducts emissions inventories and provides cost effective strategies for reducing carbon emissions, whether voluntarily or due to regulatory constraints.
