Clean Energy Projects and Carbon Management
Our lawyers are entrenched in the diverse range of international and national environmental and climate change laws and regulations that create the framework for reducing carbon emissions globally . We understand that the gas industry is under pressure to become “ cleaner and greener ” by ensuring lower methane emissions in order to play a role in the future global energy mix . We help our clients in the gas sector to comply with the increasingly complex climate change and ESG legislation , regulation and policy and to secure efficiency improvements . Many of our clients have set their own carbon emissions reduction targets and we are working alongside them to achieve those targets .
