Seize the Potential for deep Decarbonization.

Our services in the field of Climate Change mitigation

Our multidisciplinary team can support you in charting a course towards climate protection through the development of:

• Climate protection concepts and action plans
  
  • Development of climate protection concepts and action plans for corporations, developments, municipalities and other jurisdictions, through a consensus-building engagement process, supported by data evidence, modelling of scenarios and other analysis.
  
  
• Deep decarbonization concepts


• Climate neutrality concepts and action plans
  
  • Facilitate the development of local vision for a climate neutral future through futures-scenarios workshops
  • Development of climate neutrality concepts and action plans for new urban developments and redevelopments, municipalities and other planning authorities, through a consensus-building engagement process, supported by data evidence, modelling of scenarios and other analysis.
  
  
• Global Covenant of Mayors for Energy and Climate
  
  • Development of Sustainable Energy Actions Plans and Monitoring Reports under the Global Covenant of Mayors for Energy and Climate.
  
  
• Identification and evaluation of alternative measures
  • Identification and evaluation of alternative measures, including their climate-change mitigation impact, techno-economic viability and environmental sustainability.
  
  
• Multicriteria Decision Making Analysis
  
  • Multicriteria Decision Making Analysis and reporting, based on a consensus-building engagement process.
  
  
• Pre-feasibility assessment and financial modelling of sustainable energy projects (see Economy and Finance section for details).


• Greenhouse gas emission inventories
  • Development of Community-scale greenhouse gas emission inventories according to globally recognized methodologies such as the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories, the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) and the methodology of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Energy and Climate.
  • Independent verification of Community-scale greenhouse gas emission inventories.
  
  
• Supporting the development of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement
  • Contributing to the development of Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) frameworks that capture the climate and sustainable development benefits of climate change mitigation measures.
  • Assessing the potential contribution of local and subnational climate actions to the NDCs.
  
  
• Tailor-made capacity building for local policy makers and staff. Topics include:
  
  • Energy Management systems
  • District heating and district cooling
  • Energy efficiency potentials assessment
  • Renewable energy resources assessment
  • Future energy scenarios and pathways
  • Policies and Action Plans towards sustainable energy
  • Centralized and decentralized energy generation
  • Transformation of the electricity system
  • Sector-coupling and inter-sectoral plans
  • Climate and renewable energy finance
  • Planning for a just transition, to minimize negative impacts of phase-out of conventional energy for workers, communities and future generations.
