Enveco soothes effects on climate
A research organisation wanted to ensure that the effects of operating vessels on climate change were minimised and that emissions were offset.

Through our CarboNil programme, we designed a tailor-made emission reduction plan for the client and, with our international know-how and custom-made tools, calculated total CO₂ emissions.

Emissions were then offset through a local community scheme -planting trees through our partner organisation Whaingaroa Harbour Care www.harbourcare.co.nz. 700 tons of CO₂ were offset using a cost-effective and local solution.

Enveco supports decision-makers through economic research
An Australian government department needed to make decisions on how to manage its pest fish species throughout the country. Enveco was commissioned to assess economic impacts to complete the scientific research.

It was thought that the extreme lack of data would make an assessment impossible. Our thorough international research highlighted the gaps in knowledge and derived local economic impacts from existing surveys.

The report provided sound guidance to the department on the cost indication of pest fish management based on international data and estimated preliminary impact benefits and costs in Australia. 

Explaining the link between climate change and economic growth
A government watch-dog wanted to know how economic growth was related to climate change. Were carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions related to the growth of the economy? What did the relationship between these two factors look like?

A technical report discussing the complexity of this relationship to the general public was the solution to this challenge.

It showed that decoupling carbon dioxide emissions from economic growth should not be a direct policy measure, but serve as an indicator to measure the success of governmental policies.
