CAMCO Approach
_PARTNERSHIP
• Provide a comprehensive service to projects - from carbon
asset opportunity identification, optimisation through to
realisation (ERPA closure);
• Rely on own experience and expertise to manage risks and
regulatory uncertainties associated with new international
emissions trading markets – allowing projects to
EXTERNALISE these risks/costs;
• Demonstrate commitment and belief by sharing risks in
developing projects for rewards when successful;
• Respect all normal due diligence requirements for
investments in developing/emerging economies;
• Work with local partners to ensure compliance with national
regulations and priorities.
