Carbon Expertise
Navigating toward a world where clean energy fuels a healthy planet.
Transitioning to a sustainable and equitable world requires the balance of maintaining and raising the human standard of living for all, while reducing waste, loss of biodiversity, and carbon emissions.
Scope 3 Emission Reporting
Tackling this complex challenge with innovative solutions.
In a collaborative effort to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in carbon disclosure, EcoEngineers and The Climate Registry (TCR), a non-profit organization empowering organizations to fight against climate change, have jointly released a comprehensive white paper titled “Guidance for Developing Carbon Disclosure Legislation: How to Address Supply Chain and Data Quality Challenges.”
The white paper represents a significant step forward in providing solutions to the complex issue of Scope 3 emissions measurement, data collection, and disclosure. It provides a strategic framework to guide lawmakers, regulatory bodies, and industry leaders to standardize Scope 3 emissions reporting, enhance data integrity, and streamline compliance efforts.

Why Scope 3 Emissions Matter
Scope 3 emissions are indirect anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur in the supply or value chain and represent the embedded emissions contained in a product or service. Emissions resulting from the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport-related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the reporting organization, use of sold products and services, outsourced activities, recycling of used products, and waste disposal are all good examples of what must be counted – and often represent the largest source of a business’s total GHG emissions.
Scope 3 emissions’ critical role in corporate climate action underscores the recent trend in stricter GHG reporting standards and transparency in data collection and disclosure across various industry sectors like cement, aluminum, agriculture, and others. It signifies a shift from voluntary to mandatory reporting regimes.
Carbon Experts
We are the carbon experts, bringing decades of experience in grappling with the complexities of carbon.
We help implement carbon removal technologies, including carbon capture and sequestration, ocean technologies, and mineralization.
We also bring extensive experience across a wide range of carbon avoidance and displacement through various biofuels, including biogas and anaerobic digestion, ethanol from fermentation, fuels from gasification and pyrolysis, biodiesel and transesterification, and renewable diesel and hydrotreating.
We help our clients displace carbon through zero-emissions energy sources, including electricity and electrification of all things, and hydrogen as an energy source.

Carbon Markets
Carbon markets play an important role in the energy transition. Eco helps companies navigate the quickly evolving carbon economy by identifying, assessing, and developing projects in the voluntary and compliance carbon markets. We have experience across multiple industries — from innovative, international start-ups creating carbon-removal projects to large-scale global energy companies developing projects to mitigate their carbon footprint or generate new streams of revenue.
Using a creative and unbiased approach, we determine a project’s viability and develop cutting-edge methodologies to ensure it benefits the environment. Our comprehensive socio-environmental assessments help you meet the highest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, with Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA), verification and validation of low-carbon fuel purchases, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories, carbon offset project claims, carbon registry requirements, and measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) protocols.
We bring deep expertise across a broad range of global regulations, including:
- U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
- California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
- Oregon Clean Fuels Program (CFP)
- Washington Clean Fuels Standard (CFS)
- Canadian Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR)
- British Columbia Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
- Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)
- EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and its implementing measures
- Brazil RenovaBio
Eco has partnerships with leaders in the voluntary carbon markets to ensure the integrity of new carbon removal techniques that are introduced into the carbon marketplace.
We also provide expertise for International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Readiness Preparation and Indirect Land Use (ILUC) Calculations.

Carbon Accounting
Underlying a well-functioning carbon management program is a strong science-based carbon accounting framework, which allows us to quantify a project’s carbon reduction or removal that then can be added to a product label.
Eco helps develop and implement unbiased carbon accounting frameworks that account for carbon removals and avoidance relative to baseline carbon intensity (CI) measurements. Our carbon accounting frameworks also provide standards for project eligibility, additionality, permanence, and data monitoring, reporting and verification so transacting and retiring serialized credits can occur per a prescribed methodology.
For example, Eco is teaming with the American Biogas Council (ABC), a national trade association and voice of the U.S. biogas industry, to plan, develop, and publish a new carbon accounting methodology to measure the carbon intensity of all biogas projects.
