Carbon Market Development and Advisory Services

• Paris Agreement Article 6.2 and Article 6.4 project development and implementation
• New UN Climate Change Methodology development
• International carbon market mechanisms (aligned ACMI) generating attractive, long-term, risk-adjustment, high quality carbon credit returns.
• Advisory services on project development pathways, emission purchase strategies, and carbon trading systems
• Advises on Article 6.2 host and partner country exchanges, the American Csarbon Registry, Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard (VERRA), and the Climate Action Reserve Ministry-Level Advisory Services
• Develop systems-based GHG reduction/implementation plans
• Liaison for government affairs and relations regarding carbon market development
• Manages Articles 6.2 and 6.4 exchanges between compliance General interest in Africa

In concert with most Sub-Saharan Africa country’s strong commitment to the “leave no one behind” principle of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.  Xemplar Carbon’s interests in Africa are in direct alignment with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 as well as Agenda 2030 to build sustainable and resilient economies free from poverty and inequality while ensuring the well-being of the population through transformative health, education, sanitation and affording access to clean energy, water and food security. To that end, Xemplar has engaged reputable US-based and international partners to support these goals along the following thematic impact vectors:

1. Waste-to-Energy and Bioenergy (Circular Economy) 
2. Hydrogen Infrastructure Value Chain (Production & Offtake) 
3. Sustainable Mining Value Chain (Production & Offtake) 
4. Agri-Voltaics (Co-siting Solar Infrastructure & Climate-Smart Agriculture) 
5. Wind Energy (On and Offshore) 
6. Sustainable Forest Management: Residual Biomass-to-Biochar/H2 (Circular Economy) 
7. Leveraging Technology & ICT for Coastal and Agricultural Resilience 
   Globally, Energy Access, 

Environmental sustainability, social accountability, and good governance must be incorporated into all partnerships. Power Africa seeks partners with proactive policies and compliance programs that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, community engagement and governance and preventing and mitigating negative environmental and social impacts. Xemplar Carbon operates in accordance with principles for safeguarding the environment, social accountability, health, human rights, preventing forced labor, gender inclusion, anti-discrimination, governance, anti-bribery and anti-corruption.

The Paris Agreement (PA) was finalized when Article 6 was approved at COP26 in Glasgow November 2021. The PA provides for every nation to meet their emission reduction targets via a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for reducing CO2e emissions in their country.
To achieve these targeted reductions, each country must state their baseline year (or volume) and what percentage of reductions they will achieve, in what time, and in what sectors or methods they will focus on or deploy to achieve that target.

Article 6 is central to the PA because it guides countries on cooperation for generating deeper carbon oxide reductions and developing more ambitious national climate action plans.
Paris Agreement Article 6 ITMO Facilitation:Xemplar Carbon & Capital offers project climate finance opportunities under the Paris Agreement’s Article 6.2 offset markets
promote educational and scientific progress regarding climate protection, carbon offsets, carbon dioxide emission reductions, and the formation of clean technology developer teams and consortia to promote those purposes, develop and advocate for international agreements, legislation, regulations, and government programs to improve the environment and protect natural resources, deliver climate change projects with regional and global impact

Xemplar monetizes avoidance/mitigation capital projects in upstream, midstream, downstream fossil fuel emissions sectors, and in cement manufacturing. We accelerate ITMO exchange potential, industry support, and Article 6 Rulebook "Cooperative Endeavors” in the following sectors:

HYDROGEN FUELS PRODUCTION AND DEPLOYMENT

-Solar and Wind energy have become competitive with fossil fuels in some international markets. Carbon Partnerships with Xemplar make these avoidance technologies competitive in any market.
-Xemplar’s experience with federal and private sector stakeholders in the U.S. enables us to deliver reliable CCUS projects to host country customers abroad.
-Hydrogen has always been efficient, sustainable and affordable at scale. It addresses the need for sustainable systems that reduce emissions and can completely change the economics of a country that produces or utilizes it as a fuel due to its wide potential and cleanliness, including fueling cars,trains, trucks, and high-horsepower transport, as a zero-carbon ship fuel, to generate electricity both as centralized baseload and distributed power generation, heating buildings, industrial heating, and seasonal energy storage. Through our EPC partners, Xemplar can help develop and  generate cheap and clean H2 from natural gas while capturing up to 99% of produced CO2. This can also be used to make clean ammonia with 95-99% CO2 capture.
