Internal Cost Curve Development

Understanding one's internal emissions reduction options is an important step for many companies in their development of a corporate climate change strategy. In TC+ES's experience, it is easy for companies to believe their internal emissions reduction opportunities are much larger than they really are. This can have unintended outcomes, including:

Actively impeding a company's exploration of external emissions reduction options, leaving it at a competitive disadvantage.

Focusing on expensive internal inventory and options assessment work, sometimes with little or no return.

TC+ES has the experience and tools to support the exploration of a company's internal emissions reductions cost curve in a cost-effective manner, whether by itself or as part of a company's larger review of its options. TC+ES's philosophy for such reviews follows the "80-20" principle, namely that one can identify a great deal about a company's situation at only a fraction of the cost of a rigorous engineering review. By relying on a company's own experts, but facilitating their contribution to the project through the use of specialized questionnaires and spreadsheet tools, TC+ES can dramatically reduce the time and resources needed to develop a good understanding of a company's internal emissions reduction cost curve and position the company for moving forward with its overall strategy.
