Asset Strategy Design & Implementation

Corporate Mitigation Plans & Strategies Black & Veatch develops these plans and formulates these strategies through identification of on-system and off-system, as well as short- and long-term GHG emission reduction options. Black & Veatch also performs feasibility studies to determine the most cost-effective options for use in strategic planning for future compliance and sustained growth.

GHG Goals Development

Using a systematic process to align business goals and drive corporate strategy, Black & Veatch can guide clients through an informed decision-making process to determine:

• the types (reductions, efficiency or offsets);
• appropriate metrics (absolute vs. intensity);
• boundaries (direct, indirect);
• baseline;
• timetables (short- and long-term);
• inclusion of offsets or credits; and
• double-counting policies

… to ultimately establish the most beneficial target to meet both the financial and non-financial needs and objectives. Carbon emissions targets, policy implementation and tracking of progress for possible participation in voluntary or future mandatory reduction programs can also be incorporated into the development process.

Adaptation and Disaster Recovery Strategies

This service serves as an essential resource planning for short-term, weather-related disruptions and long-term environmental changes.
