Kaskada provides commercial advice and transaction support for: Local and international voluntary carbon offsets, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and similar Environmental Attributes (EAs), Canadian compliance markets (i.e. TIER, CFR), Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), Responsibly Sourced Gas (RSG), and Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPA).

Brokers and developers both play important roles in carbon markets, but have different drivers than Kaskada. Brokers improve liquidity and transparency, but are volumetrically focused. Developers are doing the heavy lifting to create carbon products, but have a vested interest in their products, even if they may not be the right fit.

Kaskada is independent, uses rigorous processes to ensure alignment, and leverages extensive relationships for sourcing. We support our clients throughout the many stages of their carbon market journey in both voluntary and compliance markets and our service model is underpinned by the climate and business outcomes of our clients.

Yes, many organizations, and especially those with commodity experience and/or significant compliance requirements manage transactions and risks themselves.

Kaskada is here for organizations that may not have the capacity or expertise in-house and that want to focus on their core competencies and business. Engaging Kaskada saves resources, reduces risk and creates more flexibility in a rapidly changing environment. We exist so that our clients don’t have to navigate carbon markets alone.

Carbon market products come in many forms and work in different ways to achieve business and sustainability goals. Kaskada not only considers the role and attributes of different products, but ensures they meet the right criteria and that they work in conjunction with one another, and other actions that are being taken to reduce emissions, meet compliance obligations or capture opportunities.

Kaskada helps our clients to understand the drivers and options and make choices regarding the benefits and trade-offs of different products. And in voluntary markets, we follow guidance developed by oversight bodies and leverage independent ratings to help manage reputational and other risks.
