Emissions House of the Year: Element Markets
Firm offers wide array of services across environmental commodities
It's a cliché – and Randy Lack, the firm's chief marketing officer, admits as much – but Element Markets aims to be a one-stop shop for environmental commodities in North America. And so far, it's hard to argue that it isn't succeeding. The Houston-based firm offers asset management and compliance services, focusing on emissions, greenhouse gases, renewable energy credits, renewable fuel credits and biogas throughout North America, as well as managing carbon offset projects across the globe.
