Green Giant Venture Fund

Conduct the process of Carbon Credit Project (CCP) Development  and provide technical, political, legal and all other support required for the project and client. Analyze and advise on financial and ownership structures, including the potential benefits, risks and implications associated with combining or separating various owners of the Project. Analyze and advise as to the strategy and tactics, and assist in the negotiations and structuring of potential partnerships or private placements related to the (CCP). Advise as to the strategy and tactics for effecting an  financing, framing a strategic partnership in the Carbon financial sector  and execute a Carbon Finance option (FSCCP) aiming to capitalize the Client’s current and future (CCP).

Step 1: Feasibility Study

Phase I: Carbon Baseline Establishment and Sequestration Levels

Using information provided by the client, Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will develop estimates of carbon stocks (baselines) for the ownership. These base year carbon stocks will then be modeled forward to the current date using the estimates (provided by the client) in order to estimate net annual sequestration levels over 3 (2012), and 10 year projection periods. Net sequestration will then be used to calculate projected income and expense streams that could result from the sale of carbon financial instruments over the analysis period. In order to develop the models and reports for this analysis, the President or the Directors will need to provide a variety of information to Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF). As a result of the information provided and reviewed in Phase I, gaps or additional data needs may be identified. Any additional data needed to fully account for carbon stocks and accounting will be identified at this time.

Phase II: Economic Analysis

Using the information assembled in Phase I, Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will develop estimates of carbon stocks (baselines) and sequestration levels. Net sequestration will then be used to calculate projected income and expense streams that would result from the sale of carbon financial instruments over the analysis period. These analyses can be performed under several income and expense scenarios. Income can be forecasted using the most current valuation data available, both with and without market price appreciation. Expense streams will be derived using the most current market participation fees, brokerage fees, start up costs, and discounts or reserve levels. The models created to process these different approaches will be constructed in such a manner as to facilitate additional scenarios or carbon prices, if desired.

Step 2: Offset Project Development, Verification, Registration, and Trading and/or Marketing of  Carbon Credits.

Phase III: Project Proposal

All offset projects must be approved for participation prior to marketing credits. This phase begins the process of develop a  project proposal for submission to the UNFCCC for approval. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF), shall compile the required information for the document, and produce the offset project proposal for submission  to the UNFCCC on behalf of the project. This process requires the full disclosure of ownership information, project information, quantification methods, estimated sequestration levels, approval of the models to be used, and other key information on the project. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) is experienced n producing proposals for the ECX market and knows how best to present or “sell” your project to the market.

Phase IV: Project Commitments

Upon review of this project, the UNFCCC may require additional work to satisfy any conditions required for approval. As described above, additional inventory, process certification, product sales or other requirements may need to be met in order to participate in the ECX market. Each project will present its own level of compliance on these issues. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) does not recommend that project owners invest significant expense or effort in meeting market requirements specific to carbon market participation prior to approval of the project proposal. After the project has been approved, the commitments made in the proposal shall be implemented.. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will work to facilitate these requirements in whatever capacity they may require.

Phase V: Baseline Calculation and Development of the Carbon Accounting System

A basic requirement of carbon market participation is the presence of a carbon accountingsystem. This system must be capable of handling the conversion of your business to carbon equivalents, tracking net changes annually, and providing a verifiable report annually to the marketplace.Depending on the geographic location, type, and complexity of the business within the project, owners may choose to use the carbon accounting services available through Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF), or may choose to develop and or enhance their own system, or a hybrid system using components of both approaches. Using Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) carbon accounting module database, Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) could establish the  baseline and populate the module with level data. Using the ECX approved database Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) would then implement the carbon accounting system consistent with ECX rules for a managed offset project. Should the client choose to provide its own carbon accounting, Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) could provide consulting services in the development of the system. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) staff can work with your existing data management system in order to facilitate conformance with market accounting rules as consultants. Scoping audits can also be provided as interim tests of your system prior to market participation. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) can use derivatives of a current inventory system, make the carbon conversions, generate annual reports, and submit the annual reports to the market annually for registration and trading.There are many options available to project owners depending on the comprehensive nature of their current system for carbon accounting and their capacity or interests in handling the accounting requirements in house or outsourced. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will work with the project owner to facilitate the most desirable, efficient, and effective approach to meeting the market expectations.

Phase VI: Project Verification

After having met all market requirements, and producing the initial baseline report, the project must be verified by an approved by a DOE third party verifier. Third party verifications of the carbon accounting process are an annual market requirement for participants. Although Green Giant Venture Fuod (GGVF)  cannot serve this role on projects for which we consult and aggregate credits due to conflicts of interest. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) can assist project owners in securing a qualified verifier and can also assist in managing and facilitating the verification process. As the role Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) plays in any specific project is variable, there may be instances where accounting records are in Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) control, requiring that we participate in the audits. This may not always be the case however. The structure of the relationship between Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) and the project owner will dictate the degree to which Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) staff will need to participate.

Phase VII: Project Aggregation, Baseline Registration, and Trading

Upon successful verification, Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) can then begin the process of aggregation and trading or banking of carbon credits generated on the project site. This process is implemented annually with the submission of the annual report to the ECX. Based on each project owners plan for banking vs. marketing, Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will register and or market credits accrued on the ECX market trading platform. Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will administer the process of monetizing credits chosen for sale, receiving income and distributing dividends to project owners in accordance with their objectives.While credits accrued are typically registered annually, trades can be conducted at any time.Green Giant Venture Fund (GGVF) will work with each project owner to facilitate trades in a timely, efficient, and value added manner.
