• Provided a credit-line to renewable generators for their emission avoidance in form of renewable energy certificates and traded them in the I-RECs market, enhancing the generator's overall revenue.

Strategic routes for the state of Nevada to lower their overall emissions and achieve their energy independence through clean energy:

• Suggested an implementation of security constraint economic dispatch for efficient utilization of the existing thermal fleet.
• Analyzed the roadmap to include 5 GW of wind and solar in the next 5 years.
• Advised a cost-effective purchase of renewable energy credits worth of 10 million USDs for reduction of net carbon portfolio of their utilities.

Assessment of various environment related projects and their net contribution towards emission reduction in

• Assessed the emission factor of the Indian grid and the impact of renewable addition in the long term on this factor.
• Assessed the GHG abatement project in Mozambique, calculated the financial requirement for project to become feasible, and determined the possible market based emission reduction prices that the project can avail.
