SYNE Carbon turns a science-based target into a sequenced, costed pathway across water, waste, energy and direct carbon sequestration - which levers to pull first, what they cost per tonne, and what's left over for SYNE Asset Marketplace to trade. We connect seekers with proven implementation partners, guide projects from origin through to market, and provide our own advisory end-to-end.

Each capability draws on the same emissions baseline from Enterprise Sustainability - so the reduction plan and the disclosed footprint are always the same numbers.
SBTi-aligned target design, calibrated to your sector's approved decarbonisation pathway.
Scenario modelling across energy efficiency, electrification and renewable procurement levers.
Every reduction lever ranked by cost per tonne abated, so the cheapest wins get actioned first.
Capital planning for the equipment, retrofits and infrastructure a reduction pathway actually requires.
Continuous tracking against interim and long-term targets, with course-correction flagged early.
Reduction programs extended into Scope 3, working with the same supplier data used across the platform.
Every lever in the pathway carries a cost, a capital requirement and a timeline - so a reduction target comes with an actual plan to hit it, not just a percentage and a year.
Beyond planning, SYNE Carbon connects seekers to proven implementation partners across four physical domains - each with SYNE's own advisory available where a project needs it.
Sewage treatment plants (STPs), effluent treatment plants (ETPs), water harvesting and generation, watershed management, and other water-resilience models - implemented by vetted partners, monitored through the platform.
Waste-to-energy, structured waste management, waste-to-materials recovery, and waste-to-green-hydrogen pathways - turning a disposal cost into a resource stream.
Solar and other renewable generation, waste-to-energy conversion, and biofuels - implementation-ready energy transition, not just a procurement contract.
Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) and in-situ mineralisation, plus agri-enabled decarbonisation through ERW, biochar and regenerative agriculture - management and enablement for companies pursuing direct removal.
A hyperscale data centre operator facing water-stress risk at three sites implemented closed-loop cooling with on-site water harvesting and an ETP for recycled greywater reuse - cutting freshwater withdrawal materially while removing a growing licence-to-operate risk, verified and tracked through SYNE Trust.
A food and beverage manufacturer converted organic process waste into biogas through a waste-to-energy facility, offsetting a meaningful share of site energy demand while eliminating a landfill disposal cost - implemented by a vetted partner sourced through SYNE Carbon.
A cement producer, facing among the hardest-to-abate emissions profiles in industry, implemented waste-heat-to-energy recovery and co-processed alternative fuels to displace conventional fossil fuel use in the kiln - a project SYNE originated, structured and monitored end-to-end.
ERW deployment across mine tailings and agricultural land delivered measurable carbon removal alongside soil health benefits for the agricultural use case - with in-situ mineralisation explored for the mining use case, both monitored under SYNE's MRV framework.
Direct carbon sequestration isn't one approach - SYNE Carbon advises on and helps implement across all three project types, matched to what actually suits the land, asset or industrial process involved.
Biochar, regenerative agriculture and afforestation-linked removal - projects that work with existing land and ecosystems rather than new industrial infrastructure.
In-situ mineralisation and other engineered removal pathways - projects requiring purpose-built infrastructure and process engineering, typically at industrial or mining sites.
Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) sits across both categories - a technology-enabled mineral process applied at nature-based scale across agricultural and mining land.
The first slice of any reduction target is usually cheap - efficiency, behaviour, low-cost fixes. Getting further requires exhausting progressively more expensive levers. See how cost, capital and payback shift as the target gets more ambitious.
Illustrative examples of seeker-provider matches and SYNE-managed projects across sectors and geographies - scroll to see the full story behind each.
Challenge: A regional cement producer needed to cut kiln emissions without a full plant rebuild - among the hardest-to-abate profiles in industry.
Approach: SYNE matched the seeker with a proven alternative-fuels co-processing partner, structured the project financing, and defined the MRV framework before implementation began.
Outcome: Waste-heat-to-energy recovery and co-processed alternative fuels now displace a meaningful share of conventional fossil fuel use in the kiln, monitored by SYNE against the original business case.
Challenge: Organic process waste went to landfill at meaningful cost, while site energy demand was met entirely from the grid.
Approach: SYNE sourced a vetted waste-to-energy partner through the network, structured the commercial terms, and set up continuous MRV monitoring.
Outcome: On-site biogas generation now offsets a meaningful share of site energy demand, cutting both disposal cost and Scope 1 emissions - implemented by a partner sourced through the SYNE Carbon network.
Challenge: Three sites sat in water-stressed basins, with rising freshwater costs and a growing licence-to-operate risk from local regulators and communities.
Approach: SYNE structured closed-loop cooling and an ETP for recycled greywater reuse, verified through SYNE Trust from day one.
Outcome: Freshwater withdrawal cut materially across all three sites, removing a growing licence-to-operate risk before it became a regulatory problem.
Challenge: Smallholder farmers across a large cooperative had no established mechanism to monetise soil carbon removal potential.
Approach: SYNE facilitated the seeker-provider connection with Vivent, advised on methodology selection and PDD development, and structured the farmer payment model.
Outcome: 100,000+ hectares of farmland enrolled in an Enhanced Rock Weathering program, generating verified carbon removal and an additional revenue stream for smallholder farmers - see the full Vivent case study below.
