Questions
What is AQC's role in environmental credit markets?
AQC identifies environmental products that meet client needs and executes transactions for compliance and sustainability objectives in carbon, renewable energy, and emission reduction markets.
How do businesses use renewable energy credits?
RECs allow businesses to claim renewable energy usage when onsite generation isn't feasible. Each REC represents 1MWh of renewable electricity generation that can be retired for compliance or sustainability reporting.
How can companies achieve carbon neutrality?
Organizations first implement internal emission reductions, then purchase high-quality carbon offsets for remaining emissions. AQC helps identify appropriate offset projects and ensures proper credit retirement.
What cap-and-trade programs does AQC support?
We support Western Climate Initiative (California/Quebec), Washington State Climate Commitment Act, and developing New York Cap-and-Invest programs with allocation modeling and compliance strategy services.
How does AQC assist with LCFS compliance?
We help clean fuel producers monetize low-carbon intensity through California's LCFS program, including quarterly calculations, credit sales, and compliance entity purchases of deficit-matching credits.
