With 15+ years of hands on experience in renewable energy markets, Trident Renewables has successfully assisted numerous corporate MNCs in understanding the impact of climate risks on the economy and environment. We develop custom curated decarbonization strategy that fully address sustainability issues complying with the globally accepted ESG frameworks (SASB, TCFD & GRI) .

Starting from the environmental aspect, we initiate the transformation journey towards a low carbon organization by assessing carbon footprint and steadily progressing towards social & governance factors which includes equality, diversity, employee well being, human rights, data privacy, customer satisfaction and governance factors that include management structures, policies, auditing, etc.

With US Securities & Exchange Commission ramping up ESG disclosure requirements, our decarbonization experts have assisted institutional investors in leveraging the benefits of ESG investing, audited disclosures and significantly increasing the values of assets with competitive and better ESG Ratings. Trident ESG strategies have helped executives and general partners with capital raise by boosting access to low interest rate based climate bonds or green financing .

Trident Renewables develops and implements decarbonization strategies that helps accomplish 2050 net zero targets, identify niche investment opportunities, and enhance enterprise values through sustainable investing.

Nearly 94 million metric tons of hydrogen being consumed in 2021 and less than 5% of it came from renewable sources or hydrogen plants with CCS technology. Renewable Hydrogen can be a powerful enabler of clean energy transition for industrial, transportation and energy applications. About $9 billion/year of investments in Hydrogen electrolyzers will be needed by 2030 to produce 20 Million metric tons / year of Green H2 and stay on track for 2050 Net Zero goals.

Our practice has benefitted fund managers and decision makers with investments related to electrolyzer technologies (Alkaline, PEM, SOFC & AEM), business models, economic feasibility, hydrogen infrastructure, CSD costs for distributed production/ pipeline and proprietary insights on upcoming as well as current green hydrogen producers in US & Europe.

Decarbonizing fossil hydrogen with Carbon Capture & Storage ( called as blue hydrogen) will be essential until zero emissions green hydrogen ramps up at a feasible price. We advise chemical, steel and oil & gas companies on blue hydrogen strategies along with IRA 2022 incentives that can accelerate blue hydrogen production and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Trident’s climate change consultants have created strategies that minimized climate risk and identify sustainable investment opportunities. With nearly $80 billion investments in 2021, climate tech now holds a sizeable part of venture capital & private equity portfolios.

Accomplishing net zero targets requires energy transition, using sustainable materials, lowering co2 emissions, improving energy efficiencies and regenerative agricultural practices that improve carbon sequestration as well as sustainable farming. From bioplastics, green cement, air purifying paints/coverings, green insulation, smart glass windows to agritech, Trident’s climate tech consultants have deeper operations and investment expertize to help succeed in your sustainable investments or ESG goals.

Measuring organization’s Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions while disclosing audited ESG reports to various stakeholders and regulatory agencies has become more imperative than ever. 70% of US publicly listed companies publish annual ESG reports. Trident’s ESG advisors have helped several corporates and SMBs build internal teams and create their own carbon accounting practices to monitor, track and reduce carbon dioxide or overall GHG emissions.

As leading advisors to investment firms, we continue curating niche ESG strategies for sustainable financing, green bonds, ESG ratings and assessment of their portfolio assets.

Trident's carbon credit consultants have been at the forefront of mandatory and voluntary carbon markets (VCM) since 2007 when renewable identification numbers (RINs) were introduced under RFS program and later in 2011 when California introduced low carbon fuel standards (LCFS). Whether it is operating biofuel refineries, renewable natural gas (RNG), carbon capture, green hydrogen, electric vehicle charging infrastructure or carbon sequestration, carbon credit markets are essential to regulatory compliance, sustainability goals as well as business growth.

More than a decade of carbon trading experience has enabled our clients with price forecasting, minimizing costs, achieving compliance, procuring verified credits and having a carbon risk management plan in place. Our carbon credit consulting experience includes RIN, LCFS, EU ETS, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), California Carbon Allowances (CCA), CORSIA & Carbon offsets.

Our highly experienced carbon offset consultants continue to advise clients on evolving carbon marketplaces that are validated by Verra (VCS) or Gold Standard as well as the quickly emerging blockchain based carbon platforms.

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in heavy industries like steel, mining, power, chemical and oil & gas has been a difficult proposition due to its sole reliance on fossil fuel sources like coal & natural gas. Carbon capture utilization & storage (CCUS) remains a key technology to these otherwise difficult to abate industrial sectors that emit significant GHG emissions.

Enhanced 45Q tax incentives under the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022 further creates significant investment opportunities for Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) as well as Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies.

Our more than a decade of experience in studying and implementing carbon capture (pre, post & oxy fuel combustion) and CO2 removal (DAC) technologies for various types of industrial facilities have helped corporate teams as well as climate tech focused investment firms looking to address climate risks while maximizing returns on investment
