AgRefresh has been harnessing marketplace forces to facilitate environmental stewardship for over a decade. We are environmental accountants dedicated to finding solutions to energy and climate change challenges that are profitable to clients. Our primary focus is on the agricultural and forestry sectors and the food and bioenergy value-chains they anchor. Our team is made up of natural resource economists, soil and animal scientists, dairy producers, and bioenergy engineers. We utilize highly specialized environmental accounting expertise and strategic planning to quantify environmental improvements in food, fiber, feed, and fuel production. AgRefresh works with clients in the agriculture, forestry, and bioenergy industries to financially reward environmentally sustainable practices. We provide environmental accounting and carbon monetization services, helping clients to track their greenhouse gas emissions and receive payment for improvements through market-based mechanisms. We advise clients on carbon markets, project feasibility, and life cycle analyses.
Our projects support the efforts of numerous firms to monetize carbon market offsets, via strategic guidance and practical assistance, pioneering profitable solutions tied to bioenergy. Clients engage us at a range of scales:
- The national level: conducting economic impact analyses for the U.S. government and driving cap and trade carbon market planning on behalf of national farm and forestry organizations and collaboratives.
- The international realm: developing greenhouse gas quantification principles, practices, and protocols and advancing sustainable biofuels standards and life cycle analysis methodologies.
- The firm and project level: Collaborating with biorefineries and other bioenergy value-chain providers to quantify impacts and capitalize on the emerging carbon markets.
When we operate at the firm and project level we: 1) utilize rigorous environmental accounting to Measure emissions on a project, facility, or life-cycle basis; 2) perform sophisticated financial and energy modeling to determine project feasibility, and strategic alternatives that support clients who want to Manage emissions; and 3) integrate the Measurement and Management with carbon market financial forecasts and reporting requirements that enable clients to Monetize their reductions.
