Mitigation and Adaptation
We seek solutions for our clients providing multiple benefits from each action, maximising the total benefits achieved
The use of effect multipliers is an underpinning concept used to address the twin imperatives of climate change and sustainability
Mitigation is everything you do to improve your climate performance, helping make climate change less severe
Adaptation at its broadest, encompasses everything done to prepare and respond to the carbon constrained future which is upon us
Installing solar panels not only reduces your current footprint, it is a way of preparing your business for today’s future of increasing constraints on carbon: social, environmental, economic
Mitigation is a form of adaptation as carbon becomes constrained
What We Offer
Mitigation and adaptation advice enabling your business to reduce its climate impacts and adapt to a carbon constrained future
Specialist abatement services include
- identifying and assessing climate options available to your business
- working with you to develop and implement typical or innovative emission reduction strategies and projects
Our extensive experience includes key areas of mitigation and adaptation,
- helping drive emission reductions and to progress the required adaptive processes
Adapt to the economic, social and environmental challenges that climate change and a carbon constrained future are exerting upon your business
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
We offer renewable energy and energy efficiency services to assist your business explore options
- we encourage renewable energy technology uptake whenever assisting clients develop abatement action plans
- undertaking technology reviews focusing on the mitigation of emissions and on the adaptive advantages to your business factoring in the carbon cost and the need to ameliorate negative climate impacts
- expert advice on current and potential renewable energy technologies
Our advice on Australian programs and policies has helped project development and underpinned grant applications for the installation of these technologies
Land-Based Options
Carbon sequestration and the potential trading of the sequestered carbon has lots of upsides but also potential barriers to its successful uptake
We provide land-based mitigation advice on a variety of topics
- the role of forests, soil carbon and bio-char as mitigation actions and adaptive strategies
- opportunities and issues affecting their applicability in emissions trading systems
- creation of valid bio-sequestration projects and accessing the benefits flowing from these
- land-based climate options for municipal councils, regional development authorities and natural resource management groups
- bringing together synergistic opportunities that create multiple benefits, potentially solving different problems simultaneously
We have provided advice during the development phase of innovative projects
- modular, innovative renewable energy generation
- projects improving rural/ regional resilience by exploring synergies between various resources
- bio-energy and sequestration from non-food perennial vegetation on marginal/ saline land
- substitution of biological carbon (replacing coal) in energy production and industrial processes
