Solutions to Climate Change
Camco is a leading carbon asset developer with one of the world’s largest carbon credit portfolios. We generate carbon credits by partnering with companies to identify, develop and manage projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Camco then arranges the sale and delivery of carbon credits to international compliance buyers and into the voluntary market.
Camco is a market leader in China and Russia - two of the largest potential markets for carbon credits - as well as in Eastern Europe and Africa. We are also developing projects and managing carbon emissions in North America, a significant market not currently covered by the Kyoto Protocol flexible mechanisms.
Our innovation, breadth of experience and diversity of expertise have resulted in a number of milestone projects and industry awards. Camco was voted Best Project Developer in a 2007 survey of carbon industry participants undertaken by Point Carbon. The Yangquan Coal Mine Methane (CMM) project, the world’s largest CMM project, was voted Carbon Transaction of the Year by Environmental Finance magazine.
Industry focus:
Our Carbon Portfolio
Many large industrial companies have project opportunities that can result in significant reductions in greenhouse gases. Camco helps identify where the reductions can take place and will work closely with the seller and buyer to ensure the project generates and delivers the resultant carbon credits. In order to achieve this, Camco has to manage the multiple internal and external counterparties involved to ensure that the carbon credits are produced.
By May 2007, Camco had developed a contracted project portfolio expected to generation in excess of 118 million carbon credits up to the end of 2012. Host county approval letters are in place for over half of these emission reduction projects.
Two projects developed by Camco as “industry firsts” have been sold to buyers under Emission Reduction Purchase Agreements (ERPA). The first is an 18 million tonne coal mine methane project under a methodology authored ‘in-house’, and an 12 million tonne industrial waste gas project. Both projects are registered with UNFCCC Executive Board. In total, projects expected to generate over 30 million credits have been registered.
Camco’s project development activities are in China and south east Asia, Russia and the former Soviet Union, sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe. Our main sector focus is on energy efficiency from large industrial facilities, coal mine methane, and renewable energy.
With Europe’s emission trading scheme providing the majority of demand for Kyoto flexible mechanism CDM and JI credits, the London and Vienna offices undertake the investor and buyer relations activities of the Group.
Our Role in the Global Carbon Market
Camco's origination activity focuses on existing and new industrial operations and processes that have the potential to generate substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions.
Qualification of carbon credit opportunities is achieved by applying a methodology necessary for the project to comply with requirements under Joint Implementation (JI) or the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol.
Camco also has the expertise to develop new methodologies for accessing significant carbon credit opportunities in new sectors / processes. We have been one of lead authors of 3 methodologies:
