Energy and carbon regulation
We have a proud record of designing and implementing carbon market mechanisms that deliver environmental and economic progress.
Carbon markets are trading systems where credits can be bought and sold. Organisations can obtain credits from other parties who have been able to significantly reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions.
Our specialists help design and implement robust carbon market mechanisms by providing technical expertise in fields such as industrial emissions abatement, renewable energy deployment, climate finance, measurement, reporting and verification, and inventory design.
How we can support you
System design (including sector and GHG coverage), choice of regulated entity, and interactions with existing policies and enforcement regimes.
Analysis of impact of linking systems and use of offset credits, including price impact, harmonisation and price stability mechanisms. Developing complementary mechanisms to support the development and deployment of clean technologies.
Cap-and-target setting, underpinned by technical analysis of sectoral abatement potential. Allowance distribution options including developing benchmarks and approaches to auctioning.
Our experts support the monitoring and evaluation of carbon market implementation from evaluating carbon leakage and competitiveness impacts, through to developing MRV frameworks and guidance to support transparency related to national and subnational climate commitments. In addition, our experts have extensive experience of developing emissions inventories and registries.
