Taking a risk adverse approach to these complex markets, AQC works with our clients in non-attainment air districts to reduce costs, maximize value, and facilitate seamless ERC transactions. Every Emission Reduction Credit market in the US has unique features, such as, supply and demand fundamentals, independent regulations, and varying transactional processes.
What are Emission Reduction Credits?
All of AQC’s brokers began their careers working with Emission Reduction Credit markets within the United States – our knowledge of Emission Reduction Credit markets is unparalleled within the industry.
Emission Reduction Credits (“ERCs”) are generated, or banked, by a permitted emissions source when it shuts down, installs abatement technology, or reduces emissions below what is required by the relative regulatory agency. AQC assists our clients in understanding the value of the ERCs that may be generated and monetized. Our in-depth understanding of the ERC markets, pending rules, regulations, and transactional structures will reduce risk for our ERC clients.
For our ERC sellers, we work to identify buyers that need ERCs for their own air permits and to monetize those ERCs at maximum value.
For our ERC buyers, our expertise and understanding of the fragmented ERC markets allow us to guide our clients to procure the Emission Reduction Credits that best suit their specific needs. We work to identify the best products and solutions to meet all compliance needs while minimizing costs
