We offer a comprehensive range of environmental services throughout the project lifecycle, including feasibility studies, design inputs, obtaining approvals and ensuring environmental compliance.
Anthesis understands the issues associated with designing and developing power and water facilities and our team has extensive experience in undertaking comprehensive baseline investigations and detailed impact assessments to identify the nature and extent of impacts.
We can help to apply abatement and mitigation techniques, ensuring the environmental impacts of a project remain within acceptable limits.
The Situation
Demand for new power and water capacity in the Middle East region has grown significantly in the past decade, driven by population growth, economic diversification and the continued evolution of renewable technologies and diversification of energy sources.
Power and water projects can often be associated with a range of environmental impacts, particularly emissions to air and the marine environment. Conventional energy generation and desalination also contributes to the global issue of climate change.
Our team can develop Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) in accordance with World Bank Standards and the Equator Principles. We can seamlessly liaise with Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) and Equator Principles Financial Institutions (EPFIs), together with national regulatory authorities, to obtain the relevant approvals and achieve financial close.
