GTE’s wide range of services is further broken down as under:

1) Project identification:

GTE team conducts an in depth pre assessment of suitability of each energy project to achieve carbon emission certification.

2) Project Due Diligence:

Standard client Due Diligence enquiry and review by GTE

3) Advisory Consultation Services Technical and Financial:

GTE team, if required by client, are able to provide technical and financial consultation support including identification and assistance in providing project investment and or funding support.

4) Site Visit Suitability Assessment by Engineering Personnel:

GTE’s engineering team site visit to identify any preliminary concern as to project site likely qualification for carbon emission certification.

5) Cost/Benefit of Carbon Certification Analyses:

GTE provides clients with an initial estimate of annual carbon reductions achievable and a Preliminary Assessment of the recommended Certification Standard for project qualification and cost benefits of application and envisaged time chart.

Service includes: in the instance of a project that is at an advanced construction stage; an assessment and recommendation of the individual project merit and suitability for retroactive application for carbon certification.

In instance of a large Hydro Electric Power Plant and Dam GTE will arrange for the provision of supportive independent reports such as WCD inspection reports as are normally required under the process of carbon certification.

6) New Methodology/s Development:

GTE approach to each project is tailored to each clients need in order to obtain the optimum carbon certification benefit.

7) Designated National Authority Obtaining Letter of Approval:

GTE will assist project owners obtain required project approval from the Designated National Authority – the government ministry where the project is based. Procedures for obtaining DNA approval vary according to country of project location.

8) Project Design:

For carbon emission certification – this entails preparation by GTE and subsequent validation of a formal Project Design Document which gives an in depth and highly objective project analysis covering:

i. Project description

ii. Participants

iii. Project location and mapping detail

iv. Estimated emission reductions from project during crediting period

v. Analyses of funding source

vi. Monitoring methodology and baseline calculations and development rationale

vii. Justification for the choice of project

viii. Project boundary definition and description

ix. Analyses of how greenhouse gases are reduced as a consequence of the project activity

x. Assessment of “additionality”. Purpose is to substantiate project is additional to ‘business as normal’ and that without the benefit of carbon income the project would likely not take place due to either technological and or financial barrier.

xi. In depth analyses and engineering calculations of emission reductions achieved as a result of the project happening

xii. Monitoring methodology and description of monitoring plan to be carried out by project management.

xiii. Project duration assessment

xiv. Environmental impact of project

xv. Synopsis of local stakeholders’ comments on merit and or concerns regarding proposed project and how any such concern has or will be met by project owner

xvi. Contact information; summary and supportive appendices.

9) Project Review Technical and Financial

i. Environmental Impact Report/s

ii. Sustainable Energy Contribution Report

iii. Technical Feasibility Report

iv. Financial Feasibility Report and or preparation of 1. Financial Feasibility Report reflecting impact on project IRR of carbon income

v. Power Purchase Contracts

vi. Government Permits

vii. Environmental Permits

viii. Building Permits

ix. Financing structure and funding contracts for both equity and debt

14) Validation of Project:

GTE team will recommend the appointment of an Designated Operational Entity “DOE” and subsequently manage working closely with the client and DOE and Carbon Registry all aspects of the certification validation process.

15) Closure Timeframe Determination:

GTE team provides each project client with regular updated progress reports including monthly charting reflecting timeline; project activities and individual and collective responsibility.

16) Project implementation review:

Commencement of an approved monitoring plan

17) Operational review:

GTE will continue to ensure that each project is reviewed at regular pre determined intervals to ensure all emission reduction certification procedural requirements are met and reported.

18) Purchase and or Trade of Carbon Emission Units:

GTE undertakes to monetise in the International commodity market or purchase for own account or trade on behalf of clients direct with private and or corporate institutional buyers carbon emission units as generated and available for trade on a fully transparent disclosed basis.

GTE will dependent on market conditions arrange for the “spot” “forward” or “vintage” sale of carbon emission reduction certificates on behalf of clients.

19) Market carbon price overview review:

GTE believes in keeping clients informed on a regular basis with respect to economic and political change and movement in carbon emission unit prices. In this respect GTE provides regular market update summary to all clients as a part of the Company’s dedicated ethos to maintain excellent communications at all times.

20) Consulting

GTE has extensive international experience in providing clients, in a regulated and complex marketplace, with support in bringing emission reduction projects to fruition plus expert evaluation of GHG positions and inventories.

GTE supports project owners create a new source of valuable capital opportunity for their green project investments by structuring and guiding GHG emission reduction projects prior to project commencement. Working closely with clients throughout the process we ensure the successful issuance of trading emission reduction credits from projects.

The result: enhanced project viability; asset enhancement & Cash Flow.
