Oil & Gas industry

We advised the client on how to address methane emissions challenges in Oil & Gas and identified commercial options to monetise abatement and offsets

As part of our broader analysis, we identified Oil & Gas as the second-largest source of anthropogenic methane, primarily emitted during extraction.

Industry overview:

  • Methane is emitted from Oil & Gas operations during production, representing one of the best near-term opportunities for climate action because the pathways for reducing them are well-known and cost-effective.
  • Around 40% of oil and gas methane emissions could be reduced at no net cost using existing technologies (e.g. leak detection and repair campaigns, installing emissions control devices, etc.).
  • After abatement projects are carried out, the key challenge in reaching Net Zero methane emissions is the residual hard-to-abate emissions.
  • These emissions create a strong need for credits specifically reducing methane.

Three key factors drive the demand for methane reduction credits from Oil & Gas majors:

  1. Regulatory scrutiny on methane emissions
  2. Hard-to-abate residual emissions
  3. Continued demand for Oil & Gas in a Net Zero world
Bar chart showing methane emissions reduction from 80 million tonnes to 26 million tonnes through technology standards, zero non-emergency flaring and venting, leak detection and repair, and additional measures, with a note that the energy sector can abate about 68% of emissions but must offset 26 million tonnes annually to reach Net Zero.

White paper: Carbon market trajectory

We were engaged to develop a white paper on the evolving Australian carbon market and advise on its likely future trajectory

Among the depth of analysis we delivered, one of the most compelling insights was…

Bar chart showing ACCU supply deltas from 2024 to 2032, with surpluses in 2024-2026 and deficits from 2027 onward, highlighting a structural supply shortage of ACCU credits potentially causing price spikes.
Bar chart showing carbon market supply and demand balance, with price per ton in AUD on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis, highlighting price points $33, $75, and $150, and demand years Y1 and Y10 with color-coded margins for current ACCU price, safeguard, and future demand growth.

Construction industry

We identified unmet demand for sustainable development in the construction sector in Australia and advised our client on how to unlock value through strategic sustainability

We discovered a strong demand for sustainable buildings in the APAC commercial sector in particular.

Bar graph showing supply-demand imbalance in Asia Pacific commercial buildings: Demand at 4.6 million sq meters, supply at 1.9 million sq meters, with 59% unmet demand indicated as 2.7 million sq meters.

And then advised on emerging opportunities for developers to make meeting that demand more commercially viable.

Carbon market buyer preferences

We performed buyer analysis for a decarbonisation solution provider to understand buyer preferences for carbon credits

Compliance Transactions split into Mature Compliance Market and Nascent Compliance Market, targeting Premium/Mature Buyer, Targeted Buyer/Strengthening Market, and Nascent Market Buyer with example buyers Microsoft, Woodside Energy, and Carnival Corporation. Non-Compliance Transactions split into B2B and Registry/Broker with Premium Buyer, Targeted Buyer, and General Market buyers, listing Amazon, Shell, and Disney as examples.
