Development of sustainability projects that directly reduce carbon emissions funded in part of wholly through the generation and sale of carbon credits. C-NES' team has experience in registering carbon projects on the Gold Standard, Verra and other carbon standards.

Capabilities in assessing the most appropriate Waste to Energy technology based on our client’s needs, the composition and amount of the waste feedstock stream and the logistics of waste collection.

See Case Study: Transforming Waste to Energy (WTE)

Capabilities in growing the feedstock material, biogas production and derivative products:

• Combustion of biomethane for power generation

• Conversion of biomethane to compressed renewable natural gas (CNG) or liquefied renewable natural gas (LNG)

• Conversion of biomethane to synthetic fuels

See case study: Investigating Opuntia Ficus-Indica as a Biomass Energy Feedstock and Biomass from Spineless Opuntia ficus-Indica

C-NES can evaluate an organisation’s carbon footprint and offer a carbon-neutral roadmap of how to achieve carbon neutrality on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Extension to Scope 3 emissions can also be advised.

Development of energy efficiency and optimisation projects from concept to feasibility study level, focusing on ensuring that projects are technically sound, practicable and economically feasible are taken to implementation.

• Solar PV and agri-voltaics

• Wind

• Biogas

• Green Hydrogen

Capabilities in performing Life Cycle Analyses for clients, as well as designing innovative solutions to gain carbon credits to offset emissions.

A vital aspect of any optimisation project is to see the impact the change has had on process efficiency, not only to quantify the financial and production benefits but also to continually assess the performance of the implementation to ensure that it continues to run as designed. C-NES employs multiple analytics and data visualisation technologies such as PowerBI, Alteryx, and Python to create bespoke performance-tracking solutions for our clients.

Sustainable Development through mineral resources is an essential strategy for mines to ensure inclusive development while the mine is operating and to catalyze the transition to a post-mine economy. The goal is to build a sustainable and resilient economy that can support the local community's long-term prosperity. C-NES has key skills in the architecture and design of economic diversification projects that ensure sustainable development through mineral resources.
