Project Development Services
Project development services are provided by both specialised firms and by full-service carbon asset management companies or carbon investment funds. This type of business activity sprang up to generate a supply of carbon credits for compliance buyers needing to meet 2012 Kyoto targets.
Typically, a project developer takes the initiative to identify an existing enterprise or investment opportunity that could generate certifiable emissions reductions, and contracts to do the paperwork and source the additional financing required to make this happen. Ownership of the credits generated may remain with the enterprise owner, with the developer taking a percentage of the sale value, or the developer may assume ownership of the credits, paying the enterpirise owner an agreed percentage.
Listings on this page include both profit-making and non-profit organizations that provide a full array of project development services. Consultancy firms that assist enterprise owners to develop their own carbon offset projects are listed as providers of carbon offset advisory services in the Carbon Advisory and Asset Management section.
Highlighted listings include full profiles and logos for firms and organizations with a strong formal commitment to the Gold Standard, such as a significant core contribution or sponsorship agreement, a majority portfoliio pledge or a service partnership agreement.
Simple listings include weblinks and email contacts for firms and organizations that have made simple portfolio pledges or otherwise demonstrated their commitment to the Gold Standard in more modest ways.
