Alex advises clients with respect to the energy transition, carbon markets and nature. He has over seventeen years of experience in the development, construction and financing, of energy and infrastructure projects, many of which are ‘first of a kind’ projects, as well as in M&A, emerging markets finance, and corporate power purchase agreements, in over seventy countries. Alex brings to bear this broad experience in his work in carbon markets – he advises on the structuring, due diligence, development, and financing of carbon projects as well as the purchase and sale of carbon credits from such projects, across nature-based solutions, technology-based carbon removals, clean cooking and more. This experience includes structuring to take into account the limitations of security over credits in registries in the voluntary carbon market and related governance and other issues. Alex firmly believes in a tailored approach to carbon markets transactions which is calibrated to risk, project size and type, and the transaction counterparties and their needs. He has also recently advised on the trading of sustainable aviation fuel certificates. Alex has published on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and is working with colleagues on the development of a carbon markets legal information product which will deploy generative AI.
