We are a global market leader in identifying, developing and managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction projects, and commercializing the resulting carbon credits.
We have leveraged 20 years of experience in energy and carbon asset management to identify, develop and manage carbon-credit-producing projects that deliver solid environmental and economic performance.
Through our long-term partnerships with project owners, on-the-ground project presence, and rigorous approach to development, we now manage one of the world’s largest carbon credit portfolios. Our projects cover a broad range of technologies and always adhere to the leading standards in the market.
This issue of standards is an important consideration for our clients, and a key differentiator for Camco relative to other project developers and carbon aggregators currently active in the U.S. market. As we transition in the U.S. away from voluntary carbon markets and toward a compliance-based market, many project developers who have focused only on lower-quality, non-compliance grade projects in the U.S. will find that their business-as-usual approaches fail to meet the new standards required by the emerging U.S. regulatory regime. Camco’s approach has always been to develop projects that meet the highest standards in market, such as CDM and JI standards required in the Kyoto-compliance markets, and the Gold Standard and VCS in the voluntary markets. In fact, Camco has authored several of the project methodologies currently used to evaluate CDM projects. Our pioneering work in this market has led to industry-wide recognition: we were voted Best Carbon Project Developer of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and received the Best Transaction of the Year award in 2007.
Our success in project registration and carbon credit issuance comes from a rigorous approach to project identification, qualification, commercial structure and asset management. As projects become more complex, a hands-on approach to carbon development is invaluable and can significantly facilitate credit delivery.
Our robust portfolio of projects is diversified by technology and region, including locations in Africa, China, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Russia and the Former Soviet Union, South East Asia, Turkey and the U.S.
