Environmental
At PITCO, we believe that in all kinds of production processes (renewable, non-renewable, industrial, etc.), public and community welfare projects, there is a huge potential for efficiency improvement, which, however, has largely remained untapped. Once fully realized, it can result in considerable reduction of CO2 emissions. For that purpose PITCO has the best available expertise to identify the ways and means to improve efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Though our core services are technical in nature, but our approach is to consult, facilitate, mobilize, outreach and interact with all the stakeholders and enable communities, industries and government to work in harmony for achieving national sustainable development goals in the field of environment & industry. We have in depth knowledge on the opportunities in transport, the building sector and industrial processes including the energy sector. As companies take responsibility for their emissions throughout the value chain, PITCO guides and supports these companies to fully understand their emissions and use the potential to influence the effects.
Clean Development Mechanism
- Preliminary assessment of the project activity
- Preparation of financial feasibility of the project activity.
- Complete assessment of the financial additionality of the project.
- Selection of the appropriate CDM methodology for the project activity.
- Development of the CDM project design document (PDD), investment analysis, emission reduction calculation, monitoring plan and establishing of baseline etc. for the project activity.
- Provision of assistance for grant of host country approval from designated national authority (DNA) Pakistan.
- Review of Initial Environmental Examination Report for the project activity.
- Oversight of stakeholder consultation process for the project activity.
- Selection of the designated operational entity (DOE) for the validation of project activity.
- Provision of comprehensive assistance to the project participant during the entire validation process, e.g. submission of supporting documents for the PDD, making response for all the clarification requests (CRs) and corrective action requests (CARs).
- Complete post registration support regarding monitoring of the project activity and issuance of CERs.
Climate Change Policy
