NEXANT LEADS CARBON MONETIZATION INITIATIVES

Nexant, Inc. - 04.28.2009

Nexant (www.nexant.com)announced today that it will be releasing a new study that provides a comprehensive overview of the issues and options related to reducing man-made greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions implicated in global climate change.

Carbon dioxide (CO2)—or simply "carbon"—is the primary benchmark GHG emitted by industry and other sectors. Since 2005, global GHG emissions have been regulated by a "cap-and-trade" program established by the Kyoto Protocol. Many U.S. states and localities promote the monetization of carbon reduction, or the equivalent through energy conservation or energy efficiency incentive programs.

The new study, Monetizing Carbon: Climate Change Challenges and Opportunities, will describe GHG impacts and costs and related regulatory regimes. It will also describe and analyze key pollutant reduction market mechanisms and carbon cap-and-trade regimes—as well as options for avoiding, reducing, capturing, and offsetting man-made carbon emissions.

Nexant's GHG expertise covers the full range of targeted policy and technology based strategies for emissions mitigation, including market-based mechanisms, demand-side management, energy efficiency programs, renewable and distributed generation, and clean power technologies.

Nexant professionals pioneered the creation of the U.S. credit market for energy efficiency and Nexant is now the industry leader in energy efficiency monetization as well as a leading provider of carbon credits and renewable energy certificates. Nexant creates and transacts emissions credits for a wide range of customers and is certified to perform measurement and verification of emissions reductions to help customers earn credits or to audit compliance with capped limits.
