Biodiversity Offsets 

Commercial advisory for proponents navigating Federal EPBC and State biodiversity offset liabilities. We deliver liability stress-testing to identify unfunded Federal requirements, State vs Federal mismatch analysis, and ongoing procurement mandates to manage your compliance as a commercial offset desk.

earthtrade provides commercial and strategic advisory—not technical ecology. We help proponents facing “double jeopardy” between State (BOS/QLD) and Federal (EPBC) requirements identify unfunded liabilities, de-risk FID decisions, and provision compliance costs on their balance sheets. Our procurement mandates provide ongoing market access without the overhead of a dedicated compliance desk.

Our Services

  • Liability Stress-Testing: Fixed-fee forensic review of draft offset strategies to identify unfunded Federal liabilities

  • NPV and ROI scenario modelling for offset provisioning
  • Procurement Mandates: Ongoing management as your commercial offset desk managing market risk
