Introduction

Countries with commitments under the Kyoto Protocol to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions must meet their targets primarily through national measures.

As an additional means of meeting these targets, the Kyoto Protocol introduced three market-based mechanisms, thereby creating what is now known as the “carbon market.”

The Kyoto mechanisms are:

• Emissions Trading
• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
• Joint Implementation (JI)

The latter two are the two project-based mechanisms which feed the carbon market.

Our Services

Rexco is an advisor to companies seeking to participate in the carbon market.  Whether your company is in the compliance sector or wishes to improve its environmental credentials by offsetting emissions from operations we have the experience and contacts to meet all your carbon needs.

We are actively involved in sourcing and purchasing Carbon Emissions Credits arising from various project types or other sources, e.g., JI, CDM and voluntary credits, on behalf of our clients.

We and our clients will work with project promoters to develop a CDM/JI/VER project by providing necessary services to bring projects through the various approval and registration processes.

Rexco will also assist the project developer in securing project finance.  We have clients who want to invest in early stage emissions reduction projects through the above mechanisms and in some cases our clients can also make an equity investment in the underlying asset.

We have access to a team of CDM specialists with expertise in Project Design Document (PDD) and CDM methodology development, validation, registration & verification of CDM projects, Emissions Reduction Purchasing Agreement (ERPA) negotiations and carbon financing.  Currently we are  focusing on the following areas.

Emissions-reduction Project Owners

Rexco is expanding its business activities and CDM project pipeline in the Middle East and thus is interested in learning more about your CDM opportunities in the region.

We intend developing this network by meeting project developers or owners as well as local authorities involved in the carbon market (DNAs, relevant Ministries etc.). For more Information project types and on our involvement Click Here.

If you have a project and would like to discuss this further then please contact us.

Purchasers of Carbon Credits

Rexco is actively sourcing early-stage emissions reductions projects for large emitters obliged to offset and companies interested in making voluntary reductions. We secure certified carbon credits from the primary market, forward purchasing CERs or VERs from projects in the development stage.

Rexco is involved in negotiating the sale of carbon credits arising from project activities. We secure transactions that will accommodate the project developer as well as ensuring an agreeable CER/VER price for the buyer.

Our focus is on the Middle East and North African (MENA) countries. We have identified potential options that makes the region an attractive CDM environment and investment opportunity. The MENA region is highly vulnerable to climate change, despite per capita emissions being comparatively low. CDM projects  would contribute to sustainable development and promote adaptation strategies, mitigating against future climate impacts. In addition, the geographical distribution of emissions reductions projects and supply of carbon credits is uneven: currently dominated by India and China. We anticipate a more equitable distribution of CDM in any post 2012 framework.
