B. Voluntary Market Services:

EVI is one of the leading players in the area of Voluntary emission reductions. Verified Emission Reductions (VER) are non compliant reductions, being taken up by a rising number of companies, mainly as a part of the corporate social responsibility, or for the marketing and promotional value to their business (‘green image’), or purely out of a desire to establish more sustainable practices in the face of global warming. Carbon offsetting through VERs is a quicker and a relatively inexpensive process of project approval and verification than the CDM.

Emergent Ventures India has become a leading player in India in the voluntary market in a very short span of time. We facilitate the sale of VERs in special cases, where methodologies are complex or where project size is small or where vintage emission reduction is available for projects where registration could not be accomplished on time.

Our Services Include Carbon Foot-printing, Documentation, Validation & Verification of the project activity based on various Voluntary market standards such as Gold Standard, Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), VER+, Community Climate & Bio-Diversity (CCB) and Sale of the VERs in International Market.
