Sigma Consulting and Engineering, Inc.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) concept is key to expanding in the renewable energy arena. Sigma Consulting and Engineering (SCE) is a leader in CDM projects building, analysis, auditing, validating and verifying. These steps are critical for registering candidates’ projects for earning Carbon Credits (CC).

SCE understands the needs of the African economy and the uniqueness of its cultural groups; we integrate these factors in our evaluations and procedings because adaptative solutions yield the best results. In terms of the market share, the African CDM projects registration accounted for only 2.6% or about 17 projects in 2006 of the world market.

By all account, it is critical that the African continent addresses its limitations in the CDM which it will greatly benefit from. SCE is currently developing a paper tackling significant areas that Africa could capitalize on and help increase it market share.

The impact of viable sources of energy will bring tremendous growth in the African continent. Renewable energy solutions are not only bringing energy to fuel the local economies, they also create jobs, generate additional revenue in the form of CC, favor transfers of technologies, and protect the environment. SCE multi languages capacity allows us to help French or English based organizations with worldwide connections.

Our CDM services fit the need of a wide range of projects and advice at the country or organization level. We help Designated National Authorities (DNA) and Designated Operational Entities resolve their approval process bottleneck issues, provide competitive solution to reduce transactions costs and pair up CERs owners and buyers early in the approval process.
