Customers & Partners

Trusted relationships across the ecosystem

We work with industrial operators and specialist partners to deliver practical, audit-ready outcomes.

Note: We only list organisations we have worked with directly or partnered with. If you'd prefer an anonymised list (e.g., "WA mining", "waste & recycling"), we can swap this out.

2–5% reduction in diesel consumption — measurable from day one
20–60% reduction in diesel particulate matter for cleaner operations
4–10% reduction in AdBlue costs across Euro 6 fleets
Carbon value overlay — ACCU project registration and Safeguard compliance
Drop-in solution with no engine modifications or downtime required
Estimate Your Savings

How It Works

01

Run the Calculator

Answer a few questions about your fleet and diesel use. Our ECO Track Calculator estimates your projected savings, payback, and emissions reduction over 10 years.

02

Validated Assessment

Our team reviews your inputs, refines the model for your specific fleet, and provides a detailed proposal including pilot program options.

03

On-Site Blending

EPC+ is blended on-site with your standard diesel using GreenTECH Fuel's Australian-developed blending technology. No engine modifications needed.

04

Carbon Value Overlay

Empire C&E provides the carbon market and emissions accounting overlay — including ACCU project registration and Safeguard Mechanism compliance where applicable.

Industrial BESS + EV Charging: The Decision-Ready Evidence Pack

A practical, reusable structure for the five evidence packs every BESS and EV charging project needs before procurement. Referenced in Liz Aitken's talk at the WA Community Energy Showcase on 14 May 2026.

Investment Decision Support

Modelling that drives decisions not just reports

Decarbonisation only moves when the investment case is clear. We build practical models that connect engineering reality to financial outcomes — with the governance and traceability expected by boards, auditors, and investors.

Typical decisions we support

  • Should we invest now, stage-gate, or wait?
  • Which option set is genuinely NPV-positive over the life of the asset?
  • What carbon and energy price conditions make the project break even?
  • What is the lowest-regret pathway for Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction?

Board-ready investment case

NPV, payback, and decision thresholds presented in a format that can go straight into a board pack.

Scenario & sensitivity analysis

Carbon price, energy price, load profile, capex/opex, and policy settings tested so decisions are robust under uncertainty.

ICER-style cost-to-abate framing

Translate technical options into a clear cost-of-status-quo vs cost-of-action comparison (including carbon value where relevant).

Audit-ready assumptions log

Versioned models with an evidence trail for key inputs, so the analysis stands up to internal and external scrutiny.

Deliverable

Options screen + investment case pack

A concise, decision-ready pack: baseline, options, NPV/payback, sensitivities, and a clear recommendation — built for sign-off.

Discuss a modelling sprint

Note: We tailor modelling depth to the decision — early-stage screens can be rapid and conservative; later-stage cases can include full cashflow, emissions, and compliance impacts.

Why Empire C&E

Built for boards.
Delivered by operators.

01

Governance-First Approach

Every recommendation is audit-ready. We build compliance frameworks that satisfy regulators, boards, and external auditors — not just tick boxes.

02

Integrated Carbon + Energy

Most firms do carbon OR energy. We combine both — so your decarbonisation strategy, energy procurement, and carbon credit portfolio work as one system.

03

Board-Ready Deliverables

We speak the language of directors and executives. Our outputs are structured for board papers, audit committees, and investor presentations.

04

Practical, Not Theoretical

We've built ACCU projects, managed ANREU accounts, traded wholesale carbon credits, and deployed BTM assets. We deliver from experience, not textbooks.

How It Works

01

Forward Contract

Buyer and seller agree on a forward purchase of nature-based ACCUs.

02

Insurance Wrap

Green Broker structures specialist cover around the forward agreement — protecting against non-delivery from any cause.

03

Credit Replacement

If credits aren't delivered, the policy indemnifies with replacement credits of similar or better quality at market price.

Buyers trade forward with certainty. Sellers don't need to hold credits for self-insurance. The market grows.
