The Asia Centre of Carbon Excellence (ACCE) seeks to unlock carbon markets as a financing tool for decarbonisation investments.
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.
We support corporations in the industrial and heavy transport sectors with their ambitious decarbonisation strategies by offering a 3-Stage Carbon Monetisation Journey to unlock carbon finance.
For coal plants owners, we accelerate their energy transition journey through End-to-End Carbon Asset Development services to finance the early decommissioning of coal plants and new renewable energy assets.
We support climate-impact focused philanthropies, developmental organisations, banks and funds, amongst other public good entities, to maximise their impact through carbon markets.
Services include: sourcing projects, developing carbon market public goods such as novel carbon methodologies, and First-of-a-Kind (FoaK) carbon credit market development.
Whether you are an investment firm growing your carbon credit portfolio or a sovereign wealth fund procuring Article 6 credits (ITMO) for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), we can help you with knowledge exchange, project sourcing from strategy partnerships and early access to first of a kind carbon credits.
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. Ambitious industrial asset owners, philanthropies and public good entities, and forward-looking carbon market investors can engage with and benefit from ACCE in a number of ways:
By engaging with ACCE, industrial corporations in Asia can tap into the growing carbon market, bridging financial gaps and unlocking new funding sources for their decarbonisation projects, while managing costs effectively.
ACCE partners with climate-focused philanthropies to develop cutting-edge, high-integrity carbon methodologies. These methodologies ensure that decarbonisation projects are recognised for their actual environmental impact.
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.
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.
