The Asia Centre of Carbon Excellence (ACCE) has been jointly developed by South Pole and GenZero, and supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board.

The ACCE seeks to unlock carbon markets as a financing tool for decarbonisation investments across five high-impact and hard-to-abate sectors: coal, hydrogen, cement, steel and shipping.

The impact of the Asia Centre of Carbon Excellence

Carbon markets are evolving, particularly towards new carbon project types that are high-impact and high-integrity. South Pole, through ACCE, is leading this evolution. Industrial asset owners, governments, and forward-looking carbon market investors can engage with and benefit from ACCE in a number of ways:

ACCE's partnerships with financial institutions help demonstrate how carbon finance can de-risk and leverage additional green financing. This increases the financial viability of projects, ensuring that interested partners have access to a diverse range of funding options to support long-term decarbonisation goals.

Strengthen policy alignment and access to global markets

We assist governments in developing robust carbon market policies, helping them align their projects with international frameworks, and securing better access to ITMOs under Article 6. This creates new avenues for international carbon finance, improving the financial feasibility of government-led decarbonisation efforts.
