Cli-Mit GHG Market Analyzer (RECENTLY COMPLETED)

For companies assessing the implications of a CO₂-constrained world, understanding the future cost of emissions (or the value of reductions) is the billion-dollar question. Finding the right answer to this question will be critical to balancing between increasingly clear policy trends toward emissions mandates on the one hand and continued market uncertainty on the other hand.

Many firms view climate change emissions reduction mandates as a pivotal issue for their competitiveness, if not the most significant financial risk they face. Yet most companies have not explicitly valued future CO₂ emissions and reductions. As a result, they effectively value the future price of CO₂ at $0.

TC+ES's Cli-Mit Market Analyzer© is specifically designed to address the unique characteristics of the evolving GHG market and incorporates:

Foundation variables, including the status of science and public opinion;

Policy variables affecting the demand for CO₂ credits;

Policy and technical variables affecting credit supply;

The results of top-down and bottom-up modeling;

Experience with other environmental commodities; and

Lessons from the current GHG offset market.

Customizing the Result to Meet Corporate Needs

TC+ES recognizes that a key issue for our clients is to formulate a price curve they will be comfortable using for business decisionmaking purposes. Accomplishing this goal requires a transparent and interactive approach to the price curve modeling process, in which the client's policy and market expectations are identified and incorporated. This is the strength of the TC+ES model and process. It is why major utilities in North America and Japan have used the model to make capital investment decisions, develop mitigation strategies, and advance corporate planning.
