Greenhouse gas inventoriesCMS focuses on comprehensive inventories for cities and towns, buildings, campuses, industrial facilities, oil and gas and coal (from extraction through delivery), supply chains, and events (such as conferences and festivals). CMS also investigates particular sectors, such as air travel emissions and supply chains (e.g., LNG from production, liquefaction, and carriers to re-gasification, delivery, and end-use combustion). CMS includes all relevant emissions sources and GHG gases in its inventories.

CMS starts with a clear boundary definition, and provides full and transparent reporting of emissions. CMS documents the methodology, information sources, assumptions, proxy data, and areas of uncertainty. CMS aims to provide a comprehensive and repeatable inventory using local or relevant data in order to foster meaningful measurement of progress toward established emissions targets. CMS does not certify emissions inventories for registration or trading purposes.

CMS supports inventories and scenarios that are intended to communicate and educate the client, the public, and/or decision-makers, and therefore produces reports that meet these goals.

Climate Mitigation and Emissions Reduction. Cost-effective solutions to reduce emissions abound in every sector. Yet technology, smarter designs, and innovative solutions can easily be trumped by “business-as-usual.” CMS helps clients overcome inertia by working on both the engineering/technology and the behavioral/decision-making sides of pertinent emissions reduction opportunities. CMS aids clients to transform solutions into implementation through mutual leadership, commitment, and education.
CMS brings progressive solutions to bear on resolving the gulf between what exists and what can emerge. CMS thinks comprehensively, aims to solve multiple problems simultaneously, and seeks out innovative solutions for clients who demand to think outside the box.
Reduction Targets and Emissions Scenarios.
CMS develops scenarios of selected paths toward emissions reduction objectives, helps establish achievable emissions targets, evaluates the effect of emissions reduction initiatives and implementation rates, and measures progress toward established objectives.
Innovative Projects.CMS is committed to pushing the envelope of knowledge and implementation strategies. Organizations and individuals who are developing cutting-edge research projects are encouraged to contact CMS. We feast on new challenges.
Media interviews.CMS grants media interviews on its published projects (unless client privilege prevails) as well as interviews on general climate issues, mitigation, technology, emissions reduction opportunities, energy and climate policy, and climate stewardship initiatives.
