"8 of the 11 programs in our review showed weaknesses in their current data collection and reporting systems - caused by limited, unverified, and anonymous data reporting. These systems are neither transparent nor verifiable, and are limited by anonymous reporting and use of third party industry data."

EPA Report on Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs

"Since 1970, energy efficiency gains have met 75% of new energy service demands in the U.S.through 2008, while energy supplies have contributed only 25%."

ACEEE

"Given the right investments in many cost-effective but underutilized energy efficiency technologies, the U.S. can cost-effectively reduce energy consumption by 25-30% or more over the next 20-25 years"

ACEEE

An EPA study said data centers account for 1.5% of all electricity consumption in the U.S. in 2006, and the number was projected to double by 2011."

EPA

"U.S. hotels spend - on average - $889 annually per available room for electricity which accounts for 58% of total utility costs."

GE Lighting

"81% of senior decision makers at large U.S. corporations surveyed said that carbon credits are now part of their green IT strategy - compared to only 18% in 2008."

Campos Research

Global carbon markets could be worth almost USD $3.1 trillion by 2020, with 67% of that traded within a U.S. emissions trading scheme alone.

Point Carbon

"Existing technologies and strategies could reduce typical server energy use by an estimated 25 percent and entire data center consumption by 40 percent."

EPA

"Server hardware is no longer the primary cost component of a data center. The purchase price of a new (1U) server has been exceeded by the capital cost of power and cooling infrastructure to support that server, and will soon be exceeded by the lifetime energy costs alone for that server."

EPA

"Data centers can be more than 40 times as energy intensive as conventional office buildings."

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Study

"An idle x86 server consumes 60-74% of the power it needs when fully utilized."

UC Berkeley RAD Lab Study

"73% of senior decision makers at large U.S. corporations surveyed identified "energy efficiency" as the key aspect of a green data center."

Campos Research

"Reducing server power consumption by 30% would yield savings of 150 billion kWh, corresponding to US$15B and almost 100 million metric tons of CO2 emissions."

IDC

Voluntary carbon markets transacted an estimated 123 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent valued at US$705 million in 2008, up from 66 million tonnes valued at $331 million in 2007." Ecosystem Marketplace, New Carbon Finance

"In 2007, the voluntary carbon market or over the counter market was dominated by Energy Efficiency projects, accounting for 18% of the total volume."

APX

"The average price of a voluntary carbon credit transacted on the OTC market was US$7.34/tCO2e in 2008, up 20% and 79% from 2007 and 2006 respectively."

Environmental Credits

Carbon Offsets
"Most analysts believe that by 2020 the global marketplace for carbon will have a value of 2 trillion euros, with the United States trading two-thirds of that."

Neuwing develops carbon assets to help our clients achieve substantial reductions in GHG emissions along with the financial and environment benefits associated with those activities.

We focus on co-generation and renewable energy projects, but through a network of partnerships, we engage with clients across the spectrum of sectors including waste water treatment, landfill gas recovery, biofuels, and fuel switching.

Our service offerings help clients manage the entire Carbon Asset Development process including:

  • Full carbon audits to assess the financial, technical, and regulatory eligibility of potential projects
  • Technical assistance for voluntary markets including all documentation through registration, accreditation and issuance of credits
  • Monitoring and verification plans
  • Access to carbon finance through our extensive network of partners
  • Monetizing the environmental credits - selling direct to exchanges, through partners, or directly to our client base

The Neuwing Approach

Neuwing is committed to creating only high-quality offset credits that are real, measurable, permanent, and additional.

  • Real: The project reductions must be proven to have genuinely taken place. Consequently, it's important that emissions reductions are verified by an objective third party.
  • Measurable: Emissions should be quantified using recognized measurement tools or in accordance with robust methodologies.
  • Permanent: Reductions should be permanent and unlikely to be reversed.
  • Additional: The project activity should not be one which is mandated by any local or federal regulations. Moreover, revenue from the sale of credits should contribute significantly to ensuring that the project is viable.

Active Management of Carbon Offset Monetization

Alpha

The carbon offset market is a complex, illiquid and maturing market. In Neuwing's experience, clients maximize the value of their carbon assets by utilizing multiple distribution channels over an extended period of time.

Neuwing believes its proprietary, industry-leading Alpha 1 active management trading strategy is the most effective way to fully monetize carbon offsets. Alpha 1 is modeled after liquidity-seeking equity algorithms allowing clients to both capitalize on pricing discrepancies across exchanges and offsets as well as accessing unique pools of liquidity other firms do not have access to.
