EcoEngineers Expands Reach and Capabilities with New Accreditations and Scope Extensions
EcoEngineers, a leading consulting, auditing, and advisory firm focused exclusively on energy transition and decarbonization, is making significant strides in its mission to support global sustainability initiatives. The company recently announced the achievement of two important scope extensions, granted by the prestigious American National Standards Institute (ANSI) National Accreditation Board (ANAB). These new accreditations reflect EcoEngineers’ commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality management systems, solidifying its position as a trusted partner for clients seeking to navigate the complexities of decarbonization and sustainable energy.
New Scope Accreditations: A Commitment to Excellence
The two newly granted scope extensions are a clear testament to EcoEngineers’ leadership in the field of verification and auditing for decarbonization projects. These extensions are specifically related to green hydrogen and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation projects, underscoring the firm’s role in driving sustainable practices across industries globally. The accreditations not only enhance the company’s credibility but also open up new avenues for its clients, ensuring that EcoEngineers remains at the forefront of the carbon marketplace.
The first scope accreditation is for Green Hydrogen (CFR Sector 4), which involves the verification of applications and reports under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR). This extension strengthens EcoEngineers’ leadership in hydrogen verification, a rapidly evolving sector vital to the global transition to a clean energy future. The expansion into Canada presents a strategic opportunity for EcoEngineers to support U.S.-based clients as they explore and develop projects in the Canadian market. By leveraging its expertise, EcoEngineers can provide the assurance and rigor needed to verify the integrity of green hydrogen projects and facilitate the successful implementation of clean energy solutions.
The second extension, Land Use and Forestry (ANAB Group 3), focuses on the verification of GHG emission reductions and removals, including soil carbon sequestration. This accreditation positions EcoEngineers as a key player in the growing field of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), which plays a critical role in decarbonizing the agricultural sector. The company’s expertise in verifying sustainable farming practices for biofuel feedstocks will help advance efforts to mitigate climate change through more sustainable land-use practices. As the demand for biofuels continues to rise, EcoEngineers’ enhanced capabilities in this area are essential for ensuring that GHG emissions reductions are accurately measured and validated.
These new accreditations build on EcoEngineers’ existing achievements. In 2023, the company was accredited by ANAB as a Validation and Verification Body (VVB) in compliance with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards. This achievement was followed by another significant milestone in 2024, when EcoEngineers earned the CFR Sector 2 Renewable/Bio/Low-CI Fuels scope accreditation, further cementing the company’s expertise and authority in the decarbonization space.
A Forward-Looking Vision: Poised for Continued Growth
EcoEngineers is not resting on its laurels. The company is actively pursuing additional accreditations to further broaden its capabilities and expand its influence in the decarbonization market. One such goal is to become a certification body under various international voluntary and regulatory compliance schemes. This would enable EcoEngineers to offer an even more comprehensive range of services, enhancing its ability to serve clients around the world with a wider array of certifications that meet the increasingly complex demands of the carbon marketplace.
In addition to this, EcoEngineers is setting its sights on expanding its presence in Europe. The firm is working toward obtaining national body accreditation recognition in multiple European countries. This strategic move will allow EcoEngineers to offer verification and certification services under European voluntary schemes, providing clients with localized expertise and certification options that align with regional regulatory frameworks.
“The pursuit of these additional accreditations and the expansion into international markets reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence,” said Shashi Menon, CEO of EcoEngineers. “Our clients trust us to help them substantiate their GHG claims with accuracy, transparency, and credibility. As the global energy transition continues to accelerate, our new capabilities position us as a trusted partner, providing the verification and certification services that help our clients lead the way in decarbonization.”
