GHG Inventory

GHG inventories have been developed for projects in a variety of contexts: as part of the scope of impact assessments (ESIA), as required by Lenders (IFC Performance Standard 3 and Equator Principles) or as part of client decarbonization strategies. GHG balances have been prepared to compare with and without project scenarios in the case of renewable energies, rail transport and other infrastructure projects. JGP adopts the GHG Protocol approach and can apply other methodological approaches depending on client requirements.

Climate Change and Natural Disaster Risk Assessment

Climate Change Risk Assessments (CCRA) are increasingly becoming a standard Lender requirement and in some countries have become a legal requirement as well. JGP has conducted CCRAs following guidance documents on methodology issued by IFC and IDB. These are based on IPCC climate change scenarios and also on guidance from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Scope may include proposition of engineering adjustments to render projects more resilient and/or adaptable.

Decarbonization Planning

On many infrastructure concessions / PPPs in which JGP has been responsible for structuring E&S aspects/requirements, carbon offsets have been included as a requirement. In several cases, the offset proposals have been developed by JGP for inclusion in tender documents and the corresponding impact on CAPEX and OPEX has been calculated.

Carbon Trading Support

JGP provides technical support to clients seeking to obtain carbon credits. This includes preliminary feasibility assessments as well as support in preparation of the Project Description Documents (PDD) required by the Certification entities (Verra, Gold Standard, other).
