Services

Assess the credits and prepare the transaction

Our review covers the registry, units, ownership rights and project documentation. The scope of due diligence reflects the intended use and the buyer's requirements.

Analysis and qualification

Review units, title and suitability for the intended use.

Registry and serial number review

Serial-number-level review of the registry, programme, vintage, status, retirement, transfer, ownership, issuance documentation, double-counting risks and consistency of the data room.

  • Review of Verra, BioCarbon Registry (BCR) and other registries
  • Assessment of ownership, status, vintages and labels
  • Risk assessment for buyers or investors

CORSIA, Article 6 and ESG commitments

Eligibility for the international aviation CORSIA scheme must be checked for the specific units and their intended compliance period. Verra VCS or Gold Standard certification alone is not sufficient. We examine vintages, methodology, host-country authorisations and double-counting provisions according to the intended use.

Reputational risk and buyer requirements

Assessment of reputational risks, climate claims, documentation quality, suitability for the intended use and consistency between commercial claims and available evidence.

Buying, selling and transactions

Source counterparties and document the transaction terms.

Credit sourcing for buyers

Volume sourcing, credit screening, risk comparison and contact with holders. Preparation of a documented shortlist and coordination of discussions under a non-disclosure agreement where required.

Carbon credit purchase and sale mandates

RB POWER holds intermediation agreements with international partners for the purchase and sale of carbon credits, including for CORSIA requirements and REDD+ projects. Credits covered by these mandates are certified under Verra’s VCS programme or Gold Standard, depending on the project. Unit availability and eligibility for the intended use are documented for each transaction. We prepare presentation materials, qualify counterparties and support discussions through to the transaction.

Confidentiality and transaction documentation

Counterparty qualification, non-disclosure agreements, principal commercial terms, conditions precedent, documentation and settlement schedules. Coordination with the relevant parties to prepare commitments and the transfer or retirement of units.

Studies and training

Additional services for institutions and teams.

Carbon policy, CBAM and climate finance

Country and sector studies covering nationally determined contributions (NDCs), carbon taxation, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Article 6 cooperation mechanisms and monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV). Assessment of financing opportunities and preparation of institutional roadmaps.

MRV, carbon markets and capacity building

Training for management, institutions and technical teams: market mechanisms, CORSIA, Article 6, registries, MRV, greenhouse gas accounting and the project cycle.
