At a time when an understanding about the carbon economy is becoming increasingly important, CO2 Australia is positioning itself as the ‘go-to’ company for carbon solutions.
Having recently acquired Brisbane-based, Ecofund Queensland (“Ecofund”) from the Queensland State Government, CO2 Australia provides a full range of environmental services and solutions to companies and organisations both in Australia and overseas
According to Andrew Grant, CEO, CO2 Group, this acquisition not only expands the company’s reach in terms of products, services but also our geographical footprint.
Established in 2009, Ecofund is Queensland’s largest provider of transaction and advisory services in carbon, environmental offsets and renewable energy markets. The company has secured and protected more than 100,000 hectares as national parks and environmental offsets for a range of blue chip clients.
“Ecofund is one of Australia’s largest traders of voluntary carbon offsets and is highly regarded in advisory services across renewable energy, environmental and biodiversity offsets. Ecofund complements our well established offerings in project management, environmental trading and carbon advisory services,” Mr Grant added.
“Our strategy for CO2 Group over the past two years has been to focus on expanding our business activities in emerging carbon markets, commercialising our intellectual property, and diversifying into advisory services and environmental markets trading,” said Mr Grant.
This announcement continues CO2 Group’s growth strategy across environmental markets in Australia, New Zealand and Asia and follows the successful Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Methodology Determination in relation to Reforestation and Afforestation announced last month.
