Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Services

Specifically, we address:

• Scale: through improved measurement, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions within cities or sectors
• Behavioural change: promote the need for a change in behaviour through clear evidence and education around emissions and carbon footprints

We enable mitigation action through the provision of innovative greenhouse gas measurement, reporting and verification services and associated financial tools. This is important in the context of a strongly increasing need for improved monitoring, reporting and verification in order to create trust in carbon markets, in instruments such as the large international programme REDD (Reducing Emissions through Degradation and Deforestation) and to ensure political commitment to mitigation at the international level.

The above trends drive new demand from a variety of actors: countries willing to assess the effectiveness of mitigation programs they fund, carbon market players, city and regional authorities who are increasingly driving mitigation action by setting up sub-national schemes, as well as individuals striving to reduce their own footprints.

With several world leaders in this area (LSCE on the academic side, Astrium, Thalès and South Pole on the business side)  we are well positioned to lead on the integration of future greenhouse gas emission measurement services in these various sectors, in order to create value, and to define future standards for emissions services in Europe and elsewhere.
