What Elevation Energy Group does

Elevation Energy Group, operating under the service mark CarbonBetter®, is a privately-held sustainability and energy professional services firm headquartered at 2305 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, Texas. The company was founded in 2012 and operates with 11–50 employees providing advisory services to organizations navigating the transition to a net-zero emissions future.

CarbonBetter delivers its offerings across three core service lines. First, Sustainability and Decarbonization Services help businesses measure Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, set reduction goals, develop action playbooks, source carbon credits, and report on outcomes. Second, Carbon Offset and Clean Energy Project Services certify clean energy and offset projects and market the resulting credits using a storytelling-based approach designed to build community around climate action. Third, Energy Logistics Services provide advisory across natural gas marketing, energy producer services, and risk management, drawing on more than a decade of operational experience. A cross-cutting CarbonBetter® Certification product allows client organizations to display verified sustainability credentials to consumers.

The business model is project-based and retainer-style professional services revenue, supplemented by transaction-based fees on carbon credit certifications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are positioned as custom, tailored solutions initiated via website inquiry or direct phone contact. Go-to-market is sales-led and content-driven, supported by a website, newsletter, webinar series, and published client case studies. Customers span enterprise and mid-market across energy (Dominion Energy), food and beverage (Pepsi, Kraft, BeatBox Beverages, Fierce Whiskers), waste management (Waste Management), aerospace and defense (Rolls-Royce), government (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs), and port operations (Ports America). The firm operates exclusively in the United States and provides no software product, API, or mobile application; service delivery is consultant-led rather than technology-led.
