Global climate change is an urgent and important environmental challenge. To serve our clients' growing needs for sustainability and climate change services, our experienced specialists work with clients to assess needs, design appropriate tools, conduct analyses, generate information, and develop plans that will support sustainable development objectives. We help companies prepare GHG inventory that represents a true and fair account of their emissions, through the use of standardized approaches and principles. We provide means to understand how different parts of the ecosystem respond to environmental drivers and climate change, thereby improve both strategic and tactical planning for managing natural resources in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner.Our services include:
• Quantifying fluxes of greenhouse gas emission (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6 …);
• Computing the number of greenhouse gas reduction credits; Quantifying the impact of management practices to reduce GHG emissions;
• GHG inventories, risk management, regulatory compliance, emissions reductions strategies, and reporting;
• Forest Carbon Accounting; Simulation of forest physiology: forest photosynthesis, respiration, carbon production and allocation, litter production, forest ecosystem yield (including productivity, tree total volume, and carbon budget);
• Calculation of carbon and nitrogen dynamics and biogeochemical cycles in forest ecosystem (including soil carbon and nitrogen profiles; daily net C exchange and fluxes of GHG emission);
• Carbon and Ecological Footprinting; GHG emission data generation and management systems.
