Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs)
Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) are generated or “banked” by a permitted emissions source when it shuts down operations, implements emissions control technologies, or reduces emissions beyond the levels required by regulatory authorities. Emissions Experts supports clients in evaluating the potential value of ERCs that can be generated and monetized. Our deep expertise in ERC markets, evolving regulations, and deal structures helps minimize risk for clients engaged in ERC transactions.
For ERC sellers and generators, we identify qualified buyers who require credits for air permitting purposes and help maximize the market value of their ERCs.
For ERC buyers, our in-depth knowledge of the fragmented and complex ERC markets enables us to source the most appropriate credits to meet compliance obligations. We focus on delivering tailored solutions that ensure regulatory compliance while managing and minimizing costs. As ERC markets are very illiquid and supply can be scarce, working with a qualified firm such as Emissions Experts helps prevent an ERC requirement of an air permit from being a fatal flaw for the project.
