Carbon Services is Nigeria's first CDM consulting services provider, focused on developing Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction credits for our clients and partners. Carbon Services offers the public sector and private enterprises a range of solutions for optimising the returns from projects that reduce GHG emissions. With a global team of carbon market specialists, Carbon Services brings to Nigeria a depth of experience that spans 3 continents.
Our services to project developers include working with project developers throughout the credit creation process, starting from the initial conceptualization and project assessment, continues to include the to full project documentation, undertaking the entire formal approval processes, and finally monitoring, verifying and successfully transacting the Certified Emission Reductions (CERs).
We provide our client partners with an international network of experienced and high value adding carbon market partners. Our client partners who develop projects can ultimately sell their carbon credits in a profitable, efficient, and cost effective manner, capturing the highest value from their greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts.
Typical CDM Project Developments
- Energy Projects: Replacement of old boilers by new boilers with higher efficiency, replacement of coal or oil fired power generation by a combined cycle power plant, and conversion from open cycle to combined cycle power plant.
- Renewable Energy Projects: Biomass based (agriculture residue such as rice husk) power generation, and replacement of electrical power being imported from national electricity grid, and dispatch of surplus power supply to the grid, increasing efficiency in the bagasse (a renewable fuel source, residue from sugarcane processing) cogeneration facility avoiding that fossil-fuelled thermal plants dispatch the same amount of energy to that grid, wind and hydro power generation, and renewable power generation and dispatch to the national grid.
- Industrial Sector: Waste heat recovery, energy efficiency through steam generation process optimisation and efficient utilization, recovery and utilisation of gas from oil wells, that would otherwise be flared, replacement of old production technology by new technology and processes, and recovery and utilisation of gases produced as a by product of oil production activities.
- Methane Capture: Collection and combustion of methane in landfills to produce electricity dispatched to the national grid and methane capture and combustion from treatment of manure.
- Fuel Switch: Industrial fuel switching from coal and petroleum fuels to natural gas and partial replacement of fossil fuels by biomass as an alternative fuel in cement plants.
- Nitric Oxide: Decomposition of N2O from nitric acid production facilities, such as fertilizer plants.
