The natural resource for climate change mitigation services

What clients have to say about TC+ES

"PSEG has found Mark Trexler and his team at TC + ES to be an extremely valuable resource in helping us understand the state of play around climate policy development, both domestically and internationally. TC+ES has helped us understand evolving climate science and its linkage to policy trends, and has been invaluable to us in evaluating different emissions reduction options and technologies, including carbon sequestration. In summary, Mark Trexler and his TC+ES team have been an invaluable resource for helping us better position PSEG for an eventual carbon emissions constrained world."

- Mr. Eric Svenson, Director of Corporate Issues Management, PSEG

"At Stonyfield Farm Yogurt, we believe all businesses, large and small, have a responsibility to contribute to a sustainable society and to serve as a model of environmental and social responsibility. After considerable internal thought on what sustainability might look like for our company, we chose to offset a portion of our onsite CO2 emissions because these emissions can easily be quantified. We sought out Trexler and Associates, Inc. [former name of TC+ES] to help us mitigate our emissions, to advise us on how Stonyfield could best play a leadership role in this area, and to work with us to encourage other businesses and individuals to mitigate their CO2 emissions. While Stonyfield's greenhouse gas emissions obviously are small, we believe that the collective impact of greenhouse gas abatement by a number of small- to medium-size firms could be significant. We looked to TC+ES because we found that TC+ES is in an excellent position to help small- and medium-sized companies become "CO2 neutral" and because we have learned that TC+ES can help us maximize the benefits of taking a leadership role in the climate change arena. We chose to work with TC+ES over several other companies and nonprofits, specifically because TC+ES is an international leader in the climate change mitigation arena."

Ms. Nancy Hirshberg, Director of Natural Resources, Stonyfield Farm, Inc.

"Several things led me to have my team work with TC+ES in developing and launching the Carbon Market Initiative (CMI). One key aspect is the unique perspective TC+ES brings to the climate change issue, namely that there are fundamental business opportunities to be seized in this field, beyond compliance strategies. TC+ES's support and assistance was critical in laying the foundation for approval of the CMI by TransAlta's management. TC+ES's performance in support of TransAlta and the CMI has more than met my expectations. TC+ES's ability to dig into the details of risk and opportunities as well as credibly represent conclusions in easily understood formats before senior executives was invaluable in my gaining approval to venture into the CMI."

"TC+ES keeps me informed of national and international developments of relevance to my job, and makes my job much easier and my time more productive. TC+ES staff can tackle the most complex technical and policy questions in a way that provides me with the information and options PacifiCorp needs to consider. I have full confidence in TC+ES's ability to represent PacifiCorp's viewpoint and interests when I request it."

Bill Edmonds, Environmental Policy Manager, PacifiCorp

"When the City of Klamath Falls got involved in a first-of-its-kind permitting proceeding in which several different IPPs were competing on net CO 2 /kWh grounds, I had to make sure we had the best policy and technical people on our side. As I expected, TC+ES designed for the Klamath Cogeneration Project a carbon offset portfolio that far surpassed in detail, diversity, and depth what any other applicant offered in the proceeding. TC+ES's extensive analysis, testimony, and expert witness support to Klamath during the proceeding was instrumental in our obtaining the permit from the facility siting council."

Mr. James Keller, former City Manager, City of Klamath Falls

"I have relied on Trexler Climate + Energy Services, Inc. for a wide variety of strategic roles. TC+ES has drafted project proposals and briefs; led several international missions on GEF's behalf to Latin America, the Arab States, and Africa; and advised me on matters ranging from the science of carbon sequestration to the politics of joint implementation. Among the attributes I have most come to respect are the intensity and speed with which TC+ES responds to work requests that are often short-term and needed "yesterday." I know that I have caused many very late nights and lost weekends for TC+ES staff, but they have become an invaluable asset to my own work for the GEF."

Dr. Charles McNeill, United Nations Development Programme, Global Environment Facility

"Over the course of almost two years of working with TC+ES, Tenaska has been impressed with TC+ES's policy and technical capabilities. We relied heavily on TC+ES for strategic business insights as offset policy developed. TC+ES has managed the process from start to finish, allowing Tenaska personnel to focus on our primary business activities. We look forward to working with TC+ES on future carbon offset projects. They gave us great value for our money."

Kirby Zicafoose, Development Specialist, Tenaska, Inc.

"The Oregon Forest Resource Trust (FRT) is an ambitious state program to reforest up to 250,000 acres of ecologically sensitive land in western Oregon. Carbon offset funding is one mechanism to help make the program a reality. TC+ES developed and documented the FRT as a carbon offset project and has already procured $1.5 million for the FRT. Working with a firm like TC+ES, I am truly excited about the prospects for reforestation in Oregon and about the state's contribution towards a sustainable economy in the coming millennium."

Hon. Phil Keisling, former Oregon Secretary of State

"Two billion of the world's citizens remain in the dark except for candles and kerosene, notwithstanding the increasing economic competitiveness of household-level photovoltaic systems. I have been working with Trexler Climate + Energy Services, Inc. for almost six years to identify funding mechanisms that would allow us to serve this huge new market and our joint efforts are now paying off. The carbon offset "Investment Briefs" TC+ES originally prepared for rural electrification projects in India, China, and Sri Lanka were instrumental in reorienting our entire business strategy, and have now led to a successful closing of a $2.5 million private offering for the new Solar Electric Light Company."
