Australia’s environmental certificate schemes can be challenging to navigate. Shell Energy can help.
A range of Australian Federal and State government schemes are available, providing businesses with financial incentives to invest in energy savings projects. If your business is a large user of electricity, gas, or a mixture of both, our energy experts are uniquely positioned to assist you to understand and navigate these schemes and help you find ways to offset the costs of implementing energy projects.
Our energy engineers are trained in best practice energy measurement and verification methodology (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol).
We can provide you with insights on each of the certificate markets and assist you to maximise value across the different schemes, including providing certificate creation services for many of the available schemes.
For some schemes, energy savings or abatement must be independently measured and then subject to an independent audit.
It is important to have an energy expert onboard early to ensure you comply with any scheme requirements, such as measuring your energy baseline before you start your project.
Our new innovative product helping large businesses reach their renewable energy targets in 5 simple steps via the Shell Energy Portal.
