GHG Verified Emission Reduction Portfolio
Blue Source has created the largest ghg Verified Emissions Reductions (VER) portfolio in North America, and to date, sources offsets in 45 states from 9 different project types through 2019. We are among the largest sellers of ghg offsets in North America and have placed more than 40 million tonnes of offsets on public registries such as the Environmental Resource Trust (www.ert.net) GHG Registry.
The size and diversity of our inventory of ghg emission reductions creates unique portfolio opportunities for both sellers and buyers of ghg offsets, insurance product providers, financial and commodities trading companies, purchasers and sellers of large CO2 emitting facilities, merchant bankers and M&A transactions. Some of these portfolio opportunities include:- delivering cost-effective carbon neutral products and services to distributors requiring climate-sensitive goods;
- hedging the regulatory risk that certain offset types will not be approved by cap and trade programs or will be omitted or devalued by them;
- managing the risk that a third party will not physically deliver an offset;
- addressing the carbon risk on the acquisition of a coal-based power generation plant with pre-compliance ghg offsets;
- complimenting energy commodity sales/purchases with the associated ghg offset for a retail or industrial structured transaction;
- securing a one-stop shop for large, diverse sources of offsets from various vintages, at various prices, under various firm and option-based deliveries.
Our portfolio opportunities match the quality and quantity characteristics of our supply and the financial and transactional depth of our management team with the offset buyers’ or service providers’ appetite for risk and reward. Inherent in this opportunity is the ability of the supplier of offsets in our inventory to secure a major portion of this value through participation in the aggregation process.
