Carbon Accounting + Methodologies

Carbon Neutrality Plans
​
EcoShift has substantial experience, knowledge, resources, and intellectual property that give us the ability to provide a full suite of GHG reporting and climate action and adaptation planning services to our clients. Collectively we have completed GHG Inventories and Climate and Energy Action Plans for dozens of municipalities in multiple states. Our unique capabilities and our network of partners allow us to offer advanced and innovative solutions, which we refer to as the “Next Generation” approach to climate action planning. This includes cutting-edge methods for calculating GHG emissions, modeling climate mitigation program impacts, and our proprietary approach to complex scenario analysis.

Municipal Carbon Funds

Our team also worked with the City of Watsonville to develop a local carbon offset fund in conjunction with the development of their climate action plan. This provided critical insight into certain aspects of the fund’s design, such as verification and registry requirements, offset project types and fund administration. In addition, the fund considered coordination and integration with other local efforts to create carbon offsets projects, such as the UCSC Carbon Fund and the Monterey Bay Carbon Fund. Our team was instrumental in developing both of these programs.

Triple Bottom Line Project Analysis

Our scenario analysis tool is an integrated data analytics approach to calculating and comparing the combined social, environmental, and economic impacts of complex program or project implementation scenarios. This framework is a flexible, dynamic decision-support platform allowing clients to compare project and investment decisions across a variety of metrics and time horizons. By using a data-driven approach to investment decisions, which allows apples-to-apples comparisons of costs and benefits across multiple scenarios, organizations and municipalities can improve triple-bottom-line performance at the portfolio level.
