Greenhouse Gas Management

As greenhouse gas (GHG) policies and regulations develop, companies and organizations will be confronted with new challenges that will differ significantly in scope and character from those presented by “traditional” air pollutants. AMEC Geomatrix scientists and engineers are positioned to assist clients with quantification, reduction, and impact assessment tasks related to GHG. 

Mandatory reporting of GHG emissions is likely to be a reality in the near future, and trading markets are likely to follow. Companies in a position to capture and sequester carbon could potentially reap financial rewards from heretofore undervalued resources. Projects are already being required to provide pre-construction estimates of the impacts that the realization and ongoing operation of the project will have on the global climate. AMEC Geomatrix is positioned to help with every aspect of the evolving GHG regulatory scene, and have extensive experience in helping developers understand the GHG implications of alternative choices in site design, materials selections, energy sources, transportation system options, and more.
