As the world faces a formidable climate change crisis, effective action from energy providers is integral. One of the mechanisms devised as a response to reducing Greenhouse Emissions (GHG) is through carbon credits offsets. This is a tradeable certificate or permit which represents offsetting a set amount of carbon dioxide or the equivalent amount of a different greenhouse gas, measured in tonnages of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). Companies or institutions get a set number of carbon credits through a particular carbon offset mechanism and with a crediting life cycle, to allow for a continued production operation. To maneuver this entire process can be very daunting for a lot of companies as it requires robust specialization and expertise in order to accomplish it.
It is against this backdrop that Mesama and EKI partnered over consulting services, bringing cross-industry knowledge and experience to aid businesses within the energy fraternity. This partnership aims to bridge the administrative and market analysis gap by providing Carbon Credit Consulting Services to power plant owners for their projects. To the partnership, Mesama Energy brings its successful record in consulting services and understanding of the South African market, while EKI complements this with its extensive experience in offset solutions which thus brews consulting services that will bring radical change to energy users’ carbon footprint while creating additional revenue streams for power plant owners.
