AtmosClear, owned by CoolClimate LLC, CoolClimate Holding and AtmosClear Canada Inc., operates in the voluntary and compliance markets and offers to consumers, companies and other organizations high-quality, independently verified reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from projects around the world. Project types include:
- CDM (Certified Emission Reductions - CERs)

- VCS (US & International Voluntary Carbon Units - VCUs)
- CSA (Verified Emission Reductions (VERs)
- Climate Action Reserve (CRTs)
- Alberta Compliance
AtmosClear helps companies and other organizations to navigate the complex rules and standards for selling carbon credits from eligible projects into various compliance and voluntary carbon markets. Through our international and national networks of contacts, we have access to a wide range of projects that reduce emissions -- either for offsets and/or for investment. To this end, we are working on an initiative to use our skills in the international compliance markets to provide low-cost solutions in North America.
In addition, we help project developers to bring eligible emission reductions into compliance and voluntary markets in a variety of sectors including:
- urban waste and landfill gas,
- biogas from anaerobic digestion of farm and other organic wastes,
- renewable energy
- forestry
- transport (efficiency and avoided vehicle use in urban areas) and
- bio-fuels (biodeisel and jet fuel).
AtmosClear also designs corporate social/environmental responsibility programs focused on climate change with an emphasis on educating and engaging organizations and their staff and consumers.
AtmosClear's team has worked in the emission reductions & carbon offset market and renewables market since the early 1990s, including advisory work to companies, governments and other organizations, setting up multi-million dollar carbon purchase facilities, due diligence and negotiating purchases in the Kyoto Protocol (CDM & JI) and VER markets. AtmosClear's experienced team specializes in the technical aspects of emission reduction projects and programs in several carbon markets.
AtmosClear works with organizations in various ways to:
- By working with project developers and owners, bring supplies of emission reductions from eligible projects to the growing voluntary market for VERs and the compliance markets for emission reductions in the US and Canada
- Improve understanding of their source of emissions, and ways to reduce these at sources and/or through other initiatives such as investments in technology or offsetting
- Help increase awareness of climate change and global warming and implications for the organization and relevant stakeholders
- Enhance corporate public relations, marketing, promotions, and social and environmental programs
- Engage individuals, organizations and members and companies and their customers to reduce emissions and support renewable resources
- Reward customers/members for "doing their part"
We have offered, or are currently offering, for different clients:
- support for preparing the necessary documentation to enable project owners to monetize emissions reductions from eligible projects in various compliance and voluntary carbon markets
- advice on, and access to, GHG inventory and carbon footprinting services, including tools for managing information for continuous improvement/reductions over time
- a member/affinity program
- co-branding
- a customized VER/offset shopping cart for a partner
- offsets for consumers (direct sales and sales through corporate partners)
- offsets for corporate customers (non-profits, companies) for business activities and certain events
- supply of offsets for carbon neutral product and services
- VER marketing services and
- supply of VERs/offsets for other retailers/wholesalers.
We want everyone to have access to emission reductions, whether you're a large corporation and a consumer. AtmosClear can also provide private-label services, where we do the back-office fulfillment and VER account management work for partner organizations. We will cross-license with like-minded partners, and are open to licensing "climate club" or other of our trademarks for use by qualified partners. This could include partnering to build out our social networking efforts that are under development.
