Focal Point Consulting

In order to make claims of product provenance or subsequent emissions reduction claims, producers and users of low carbon fuels require independent documentation, auditing and monitoring of their activities. These need to align with relevant compliance and market standards. FCI coordinate teams of global independent experts to provide product and project assurance.

Markets, Registries and Instruments

The cornerstone of carbon crediting systems is the concept of additionality tests being passed at the outset of a project. Our focal point services coordinate parties so that project planning incorporates additionality tests at first base. Where Green Premium Certificates are registered we ensure that causality is clear so that downstream and upstream abatement claims are aligned.

Scope 1+ Claims

The credibility and underlying methods used to substantiate claims must be coordinated across supply chains. Our focal point services coordinate independent and local experts to ensure Scope 1 + claims have appropriate audit trails and regulatory alignment.


Delivering an Independent Audit Trail

1. Project Development Documentation

Working with expert partners, we ensure that projects are accurately documented to support the environmental credentials of production or user processes and technologies

2. Ongoing Monitoring

FCI retain and deploys independent monitoring so that once projects are up and running, timely monitoring provides independent assurance that any emissions claims are upheld or adapted

3. Methodology Development

Where new production or use cases are developed within specific carbon markets or compliance environments, we bring in experts to develop new methodologies and laisse with authorities to achieve alignment

4. Registration

We support clients through registration process for local and international carbon registries
