An established player in the renewable fuel industry in North America. wanted to integrate a carbon capture technology into their renewable fuel manufacturing processes to take advantage of carbon credit regulations. They wanted to explore the generation and selling of carbon credits. They needed guidance in understanding the revenue opportunity of carbon credits and navigating the intricacies of the voluntary carbon market (VCM), along with an understanding the complete voluntary carbon market (VCM) value chain.
THE CHALLENGE
With our client’s sight set on understanding the business opportunity around the voluntary carbon markets, clarity was required before the upcoming board meeting. With mere weeks to go, they wanted us to:
- Provide a thorough overview of the VCM, including its participation process and value chain;
- Assess the client’s eligibility for VCM; and
- Analyse carbon credit pricing and analyse the business case for entering the market.
OUR APPROACH
Multiple associates worked around the clock to create high-quality deliverables on time and on budget by:
- Delving into the VCM to examine credit protocols, verifiers, registries, and market leaders and conducted a market analysis to determine a range of carbon credit prices relevant to the client’s product. This research culminated in a user-friendly report and a revenue forecasting model for the next three years.
- Examining our client’s carbon capture technology to come with recommendations to maximise the carbon credit generation.
- Exploring project registration opportunities with major verification entities and their alignment with our client’s process. This involved a meticulous analysis of protocol documents and communication with the leading North American Carbon registries to ensure the maximum value for our client’s carbon credits.
THE RESULT
Our detailed analysis not only equipped the client with a thorough understanding of carbon credits, but also gave them the clarity around the how and when of generating the credits, guiding their decision to whether invest in the carbon capture technology to generate and sell credits.
