AFS Energy has launched a highly structured, end to end advisory framework specifically designed for Gas Purchase Agreements.

‍

The journey to securing a reliable Gas Purchase Agreement begins with a secure Engagement phase. Before evaluating the market, AFS Energy establishes a solid foundation by completing internal Know Your Customer processes and formalizing necessary confidentiality and service agreements to properly define the mandate. Following this groundwork, advisors move into a deeply analytical Strategy phase. The AFS team collects detailed energy consumption and production data to perform rigorous volume analyses. By defining corporate goals and calculating fair value prices, the advisors craft a highly customized procurement or sales strategy backed by a comprehensive overview of current market pricing and regulations.

‍

Armed with a data backed strategy, the process transitions into the Solicitation phase. AFS Energy sets strict project specifications and begins obtaining preliminary bids from interested producers or offtakers. The advisors evaluate these opportunities based on deep quantitative and qualitative assessments, carefully weighing volume, cost, and overall project maturity. Once ideal counterparties are identified, AFS arranges direct introductions and requests final bids. This leads directly into the Execution phase, where the advisory team recommends the strongest opportunity, advises on commercial terms, and actively supports contract negotiations to secure a definitive agreement and draft term sheet.

‍

Securing the contract is merely the first step of a long term operational commitment. To address this reality, AFS Energy offers robust management services designed to monitor contractual compliance before the project's official start date. During this initial management phase, the team advises facilities on industry standards for making accurate sustainability claims and assists with marketing activities such as press releases.

‍

For clients requiring deeper operational integration, optional ongoing management services are available to monitor compliance well after the start date. The AFS team supports internal budgeting and mark to market accounting by calculating monthly settlements and validating invoices. Crucially for Gas Purchase Agreements, this ongoing management includes administering, cancelling, and retiring Energy Attribute Certificates on behalf of the offtaker. Advisors also ensure the absolute integrity and validity of Proof of Sustainability and Proof of Concept documentation, providing periodic reports on contract performance, pricing, and volume.

‍

Beyond these bespoke advisory services, AFS Energy is modernizing the broader environmental commodity market through the Viridian Exchange. This digital multilateral trading venue removes traditional barriers by granting direct market access for trading environmental certificates. Users can execute trades safely at real time prices without suffering from delays, information asymmetry, or hidden margins. By combining a highly structured Gas Purchase Agreement advisory framework with the institutional grade security and regulated governance of the Viridian Exchange, AFS Energy offers a complete solution for organizations navigating the complexities of the renewable gas landscape.
