Discover our climate compliance and carbon management services

The UK Capacity Market (CM) requires electricity generators to meet specific carbon intensity thresholds to ensure lower emissions during power generation. We provide independent verification services to confirm compliance, supporting the transition to a cleaner energy future.

Our services

We verify carbon emissions data for fossil fuel generators, ranging from large-scale power plants to multi-site peaking plants. This ensures that high-carbon emitters are deprioritized, while efficient generators contribute to the energy grid.

Benefits


  • Regulatory compliance: meet UK CM carbon intensity thresholds with confidence
  • Lower emissions: support cleaner power generation by meeting strict standards
  • Streamlined reporting: accurate and transparent data validation

The EU and UK have strict regulations governing fluorinated gases, including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), used in refrigeration, aerosols and electrical equipment. Companies must report F-gas production, import and export data and have it independently verified. Relevant regulations include:


  • EU Regulation (EU) No 573/2024
  • UK Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2021

Our services

We ensure that annual F-gas data reports meet the accuracy, transparency and completeness requirements of both UK and EU regulators. Our process involves verifying data against CO2-equivalent thresholds and includes:


  • HFCs in bulk and pre-charged equipment
  • Regulatory deadlines: 31 March for both the EU and UK

Benefits


  • Avoid penalties: ensure timely and accurate compliance with reporting deadlines
  • Accuracy: verified data, free from material errors or misstatements
  • Confidence: regulatory and environmental credibility

Organizations are increasingly calculating and reporting their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to meet legislative requirements and align with sustainability goals. We can help by providing verification for the following globally recognised schemes:


  • ISO 14064-1
  • ISO 14068-1 (Carbon Neutrality)
  • WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol

Our services

The UK ETS is a carbon pricing mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting caps and issuing tradeable allowances. Compliance is mandatory for high-emission sectors such as power generation and industry.

Our services

We provide third-party verification for emissions data to ensure compliance with UK ETS regulations. Our process includes:


  • On-site inspections
  • Rigorous data analysis
  • Documentation review to ensure accuracy and transparency

Benefits


  • Regulatory compliance: meet UK ETS requirements with confidence
  • Market participation: trade allowances effectively in the ETS market
  • Carbon reduction: transition toward a low-carbon economy
