Market Solutions

Compliance, voluntary and energy attributes — sourced, hedged and reported.

A single desk for the instruments your compliance, sustainability and treasury teams actually need to transact — wrapped in training, modelling and on-call expertise.

Overview

One retainer, four execution pillars.

The Carbon Enablement Programme sits at the centre — training, intelligence, modelling and procurement — and clients draw on the compliance, voluntary and renewable energy pillars as their programme demands.

Pillar 01

Carbon Enablement Programme (CEP™)

A subscription-style retainer that gives in-house teams continuous access to CAS's carbon market desk — training, intelligence, modelling, and senior expert access on demand.

  • Training

    Live and on-demand modules on Article 6, CBAM, ETS mechanics, MRV, ICVCM CCPs and CSRD/ISSB disclosure.

  • Market insightsWeekly

    Weekly briefings on EUA/UKA, VCM segments, Article 6 ITMO flows and policy shifts.

  • Financial risk modelling

    EUA/UKA exposure, CBAM cost pass-through, voluntary portfolio VaR and hedge-effectiveness analytics.

  • Carbon market expert access

    Direct line to senior compliance, MRV and registry practitioners — typed Q&A and scheduled calls.

  • Consultancy services

    Pre-budgeted advisory hours rolling against the retainer for ad-hoc programme work.

  • Procurement services

    Sourcing, due diligence, contracting and retirement of compliance and voluntary instruments on the client's behalf.

Pillar 02

Compliance instruments

Execution and hedging across EU and UK compliance carbon, plus a synthetic CBAM cover product that lets importers lock in CBAM cost before notional certificates go on sale.

  • EU Allowances (EUAs)

    Spot and forward EUA procurement, MSR-aware timing, auction and OTC routes, with full registry transfer support.

  • UK Allowances (UKAs)

    UK ETS coverage including auction participation, secondary market sourcing and Phase 2 cap-tightening strategy.

  • Synthetic CBAM Cover (SCC™)CBAM-ready

    A privately-cleared instrument that mirrors the expected CBAM certificate price for embedded emissions on in-scope imports — locking in CBAM cost before the official sale window opens in 2026.

Pillar 03

Voluntary carbon action

High-integrity removal and reduction credits sourced under ICVCM CCPs and ICROA-endorsed standards, plus CAS's own community-monitored tree planting programme in Sri Lanka.

  • Carbon credits

    Curated portfolios across nature-based, engineered removal, cookstoves and renewables — screened for additionality, permanence and host-country authorisation.

  • Sri Lanka tree plantingUSD 5 / tree · SDG-aligned

    USD 5 per tree, individually geotagged and remotely monitored, with mapped contribution to UN SDGs 1, 8, 13 and 15. Community-led planting with multi-year survivorship reporting.

Pillar 04

Renewable energy attribute certificates

Global coverage of energy attribute certificates for Scope 2 market-based reporting, CSRD/ISSB disclosure and renewable gas claims.

  • Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)

    Cross-market sourcing and retirement of EACs for global Scope 2 footprints.

  • Guarantees of Origin (GO)

    EU-wide GO procurement under the AIB framework, with vintage and technology matching.

  • Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO)

    UK REGO sourcing for UK-domiciled load and CSRD-aligned reporting.

  • Green Gas Certificates (GGC, RGGOs)

    Biomethane and renewable gas certificates for Scope 1 fuel-switching and gas-grid claims.

  • Renewable Energy Certificates (REC)

    North American RECs across compliance and voluntary tracking systems.

  • International RECs (I-REC)

    I-REC Standard certificates across Asia, LATAM, Africa and the Middle East.
