Policy and market development
We have been shaping regional, national and international policies on climate change, renewable energy and energy efficiency for almost 15 years.
We work with national, regional and local governments, leading multinational companies and financial institutions to help shape and build policy and markets. We do this through detailed policy and analytical studies, and internationally-financed projects. From technology and socio-economic research, to analysis and forecasting, we provide advice and support in developing legislation, policies, regulatory frameworks and funding schemes.
As governments worldwide pass new legislation to curb global warming and as the debate continues on the future of a post-2012 international climate change treaty, we are able to help clients understand and prepare for these changes.
In January 2009, we began an exciting two-year assignment for a British government office to identify finance mechanisms and deliver GHG emission reductions for China’s iron and steel sector. Significant opportunities for emission reductions exist beyond those already financed through the CDM, however, this sector is hampered by difficulty in accessing finance and uncertainty about a post-2012 framework.
Our aim is to achieve GHG emission reductions by improving iron and steel companies’ energy and carbon management strategies. As well as identifying investors, we will establish a permanent networking structure for sector stakeholders to engage with Chinese and international policy-makers on the practicalities of energy efficiency improvements and their financing requirements.
Landfills account for about 13% of global methane emissions
The iron and steel industry accounts for 11% of China's emissions
70% of China’s primary energy is sourced from coal
