What We Deliver

Three integrated service lines

Smart carbon management unlocks real business value: lower energy spend, new revenue streams, reduced operating risk, and a stronger corporate brand.


Carbon Management

  • GHG inventory (Scope 1, 2, 3) and emissions baseline
  • Life Cycle Analysis and double-materiality assessment
  • Energy cost reduction — typically 3–15% of spend

Carbon Removal & Credits

  • FOAK point source and CCUS technical due diligence, LCA/TEA modeling
  • REC and removal portfolio management
  • Scope 3 advisory and credit procurement

Compliance & Reporting

  • Audit-ready GHG reporting for California SB 253, EU CBAM, and global frameworks
  • SBTi target setting and carbon credit registry management
  • MACC curve development for FOAK and industrial ecology projects

How We Work

From baseline to verified outcomes

A four-phase engagement model designed to deliver measurable results at every stage — not just a report.


1

Inventory, monitoring & diagnostics

Establish your emissions baseline across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Know what you're working with before any strategy is built.

2

Strategy & recommendations

Prioritize reduction levers by cost and impact. Build a roadmap that maps directly to EBITDA improvement and exit value.

3

Vendor negotiation, project implementation & financing

We don't just advise — we execute. Vendor selection, project management, and off-balance-sheet financing options through GCFA.

4

Ongoing MRV, reporting & competitiveness review

Audit-ready measurement, reporting, and verification — continuously updated as regulations and market conditions evolve.

Why HL CMO Services

The profile you won't find elsewhere

Engineering depth, finance fluency, and on-the-ground implementation track record — combined in a fractional model built for the PE ownership cycle.

Buy-side career spanning institutional ESG research, global portfolio management, and climate fintech — combined with hands-on carbon removal deployment. Outcomes are measured in EBITDA and exit value, not just tCO₂e.

Project Implementation Track Record

Industrial process optimization and on-site renewables/CCUS integration for a global technology manufacturer and a major life sciences company. Industrial ecology program design for leading global industrials in the Middle East. Active ERW deployments in Oregon and Washington.

Affordable & Flexible

Fractional engagement model — C-suite-level carbon strategy without the full-time overhead. Off-balance-sheet financing options available through GCFA. Designed for the PE ownership period.

Policy & Regulatory Fluency

Co-authored Federal CDR Leadership Act and NY State CDR legislation. Active networks across CARB, EU CRCF, Article 6.4, and voluntary carbon markets. Direct California SB 253 regulatory experience.

Independent & Unconflicted

No software platform to sell. No carbon credit quota to fill. No consulting firm overhead. Pure fractional delivery — your interests, not ours, drive every recommendation.

📈

For PE-backed companies: documented energy cost reductions of $100k+ translate to $500k–$1M+ in exit enterprise value at typical portfolio multiples — and audit-ready MRV reduces climate due diligence risk at exit.
