Offset Projects

An offset project needs four elements:

Technology
Finance
Location
Standard to create tradable Carbon Credits

Axiom Methods joins these four elements together.

Location

As a project host, Axiom Methods will bring your project to life by maximizing your potential Carbon revenues.

Axiom Methods offers both turnkey project development and project facilitation services.

Turnkey Project Development

As Offset Project Developer, we search for potential host locations for carbon projects. We perform all of the work to bring an offset project to life. The benefits to you:

Revenue from a carbon income stream.
Third party financing to develop your facility and property.
Reduced energy costs and/or maintenance costs Powerful marketing message.
You are hosting an offset project that is reducing carbon emissions.

Project Facilitation

You have an asset that you feel could be an offset project. Or you already have a completed project and want to maximize its carbon credit revenue. We can evaluate your project against the Standards and legislation to optimize future carbon revenue streams consistent with projecting an advantageous corporate image.

Depending on your circumstances, your benefits are:

Maximized revenue through a Carbon credit segmentation into the premium applicable Standards.
Offloaded administrative tasks such as writing the Project Design Documentation (PDD), project registration and periodic verification.
Marketing to connect with the highest bidding buyers for your credits

Finance

Bring your project to life with the additional tailwind of a Carbon income stream.

Carbon Finance is no different than any other form of financing. The key is to find sources of finance that are comfortable in the carbon world. We can facilitate Third Party Financing and navigate your project through the Registration, Verification/Validation and marketing of your Carbon Credits. With a clear understanding of your project, we can determine its attractiveness to potential Financiers. Potential Financiers will be paying particular attention to the risk profile of the carbon credit income stream. Part of this risk profile will include a marketing plan for the Carbon credits, especially if the project plans rely on voluntary markets.

Axiom Methods has expertise in segmenting carbon streams, and delivering innovative marketing plans to ensure your project is launched and revenues are maximized.

Standards

The Choice of a Standard will affect potential revenues and image. Choose Wisely.

CDM/JI, VER, Gold Standard, VER+, CCX, CCAR, and others.

The number of Standards for Carbon Offsets continues to grow. There is likely to be at least one standard that will apply to your Carbon Stream irrespective of your geographical location. With so many standards comes confusion in which ones you should be pursuing.

Dependent on the Standard chosen, you can expect anywhere from $1 to $30 per TCO2e. Generally speaking, the higher the price, the more rigorous (and costly) the project registration process. Furthermore, some standards have restricted geographic and/or technology coverage. For large projects in the voluntary markets, one also has to be mindful of the availability of potential buyers - some markets are thinly traded.

In some countries, the US for example, there are likely to be opportunities over the next few years in upcoming compliance markets. This raises questions of whether your project should wait until more certainty evolves, or whether the project should enroll in one of the voluntary standards and subsequently switch into a compliance market.

As part of our service offerings, we can analyze your potential project over its life and model projected cash flows and risks under different Standard and legislative scenarios.
