DecarBOOST
Introduction
The Decarboost Project - Catalyzing Investments to Decarbonize Latin America and the Caribbeanis sponsored by the International Climate Initiative - IKI, funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety - BMU (Germany).
In its three years of implementation (2020-2023), Decarboost will provide evidence to support the creation of enabling conditions for the rapid decarbonization of the economies of Argentina, Brazil and Peru; promoting that financing flows are consistent with resilient, low-carbon development.
Led by SouthSouthNorth (South Africa), it is implemented by CentroClima-Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Fundación Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina), Libélula Comunicación Ambiente y Desarrollo (Peru), and New Climate Institute (Germany). The project operates at two scales: national and international. In Peru, the project has prioritized the theme of Green Recovery.
As part of its activities, the Decarboost project is analyzing the feasibility of implementing carbon pricing in Peru, for which different barriers, opportunities and implementation scenarios are being analyzed. In this sense, one of the components of interest of the project is the development of projects for the reduction of emissions, allowing interested companies to offset their carbon footprint through the purchase of carbon credits. Peru currently has a 33% share of the voluntary market and soon the National Registry of Mitigation Measures (RENAMI) will contribute to set standards for the sale of carbon credits, which will help to clarify the picture. At the international level, there are companies broker involved in the development of carbon credit projects. In this context, the purpose of this consultancy is to develop a business model for a company that offers technical advisory services for the implementation of carbon credit projects.
Objective:
The objective is to engage the services of a consulting firm to develop the investment model for a company offering technical advisory services for the implementation of carbon credit projects..
Currently these companies can function as "brokers" that contribute to the raising of funds to invest in carbon credit pre-projects to develop them and subsequently sell them (detail of the business model: Annex 1). But another way to develop this business is through the technical advisory service that verifies the good quality of the carbon credits, i.e. that they have good monitoring and price. In the Peruvian context, this action would involve managing the entry of the carbon project into RENAMI.
This consultancy will determine which of these business models has the best results in terms of profitability and co-benefits.
