In this issue of Industry Update, we have featured C-Zero Markets as our Sustainability Solutions Company of the Month.
C-Zero Markets are experts at helping businesses of all sizes achieve their decarbonisation and sustainability goals through a variety of certification and accreditation trading solutions. The company grew from the experience of its three founders in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Gas Purchase Agreement (GPA) brokerage sector. Realising the gap in the market for a better service and more transparency in the Renewable Energy Certificates market, the founders launched C-Zero Markets in 2020.
Based in London, its team has extensive experience in renewable energy markets, environmental certificate trading, carbon accounting and carbon offsets. The depth and breadth of the company’s knowledge enables it to provide a complete sustainability solution, whether clients are renewable energy generators seeking to maximise the value of assets or corporations seeking a complete carbon reduction package.
Experts in the decarbonisation space, C-Zero Markets works end-to-end, from helping generators gain the most from their renewable energy assets to assisting corporations in meeting their sustainability goals. The company helps clients make sense of the often hard to navigate renewable energy claims sector and enables businesses to get the most out of the global push towards green energy.
One of its most prolific areas is in Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). REGOs play a vital role in rewarding investment in renewable energy generation and are issued to generators for every Megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity produced from a renewable source.
The company’s in-depth knowledge of REGOs allows it to offer expert advice in setting up Ofgem accounts and completing the required accreditation to claim REGOs. The company can also execute transfers on client’s behalf and with access to numerous buyers in the UK and Europe, C-Zero can aggregate volumes from smaller generators to create tradable tranches of certificates.
C-Zero’s largest growing area however, is in Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs). RGGOs are issued to biomethane producers for every kWh of green gas they produce and play an important role in rewarding biomethane producers for supplying low-carbon energy, whilst providing verification information for buyers that the gas they are consuming is environmentally friendly.
Its expertise in the field is vast, with extensive experience of the Green Gas Certification Scheme (GGCS). C-Zero can advise clients on compliance measures as well as accreditation, placing them with partners across the sector to maximise the potential of their RGGOs. It can also walk clients through submitting claims with GGCS and transferring certificates.
Central to C-Zero Markets’ success is a deep commitment for fostering a collaborative relationship with clients. This dedication to the client is unique in the industry for CEO Mike Ridler, “We’re not purely transactional. We actively try to help generators to achieve the best value from their certificates. We can advise them on longer term plans, as well as PR through our wide network of affiliates which results in added value not only to the generator but energy consumer as well.”
C-Zero’s mission is to empower its partners, whether energy generators or corporate organisations, to make a meaningful contribution to global decarbonisation. Rather than talking about a zero-carbon future, the company wants to create a world where we can all experience a zero-carbon here and now.
With established access to renewable commodity markets in the UK and Europe, as well as a breadth of expertise, C-Zero Markets provide a complete sustainability solution and ensure that funds flow into technologies that will achieve its vision for a carbon-free world.
