What Green Energy and Carbon Management (GECM) does

Green Energy and Carbon Management (GECM) is an Australian engineering consultancy founded in 2022 and headquartered in Hawthorn, Victoria, that delivers industrial energy management, carbon accounting, and decarbonisation advisory services to manufacturers, commercial building operators, and other large energy users across Australia. The firm operates with a five-person team led by CEO Caroline Bennett, with engineering directors Douglas Russell and Michael East and Energy Engineer Ryan Tasli, all holding industry certifications including CMVP, CEM, NABERS Accredited Assessor, CBD Assessor, and PMVA. Services span metering gap analysis, IPMVP-aligned Measurement & Verification, NABERS and carbon neutral building certification, carbon accounting frameworks, life cycle assessment and EPD verification, compressed air and thermal assessments, demand response analysis, and techno-economic feasibility studies for fuel switching and electrification. Notable engagements include support for UniSA's carbon neutral ambitions, Ridley's 2030 CO2e reduction programme, and Manildra Group's diesel-to-renewable-heat feasibility work in 2025.

GECM's product portfolio centres on the GECM Productivity Suite, an energy management platform providing data visualisation, ongoing monitoring, metering gap analysis, and demand response control, complemented by a Consultancy services line and Project Management offering covering the full lifecycle of energy optimisation projects from site assessment through installation oversight. The business model is hybrid: one-off engineering consultancy engagements billed on a quote basis, paired with a recurring subscription layer for the Productivity Suite. Go-to-market is direct and sales-led, targeting Quality/Operations Managers, Financial Decision Makers, and Site Operators through industry events (Total Plant Management Conference, Australian Manufacturing Week), LinkedIn thought leadership, and a regular blog, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm is part of the broader Green Energy Group, with affiliations to Green Energy Trading (government funding access), National Carbon Bank of Australia (offset procurement), Green Energy Markets, and ACXargyle (emissions exchange), enabling it to bundle advisory with funding and carbon market services.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Global energy management and industrial automation major with EcoStruxure platform. Operates in the same industrial energy efficiency space as GECM but at vastly greater scale and as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Siemens: Diversified industrial conglomerate with energy management and decarbonization offerings (Navigator, SIGuard). Overlaps with GECM on industrial energy optimization but competes from a much broader portfolio and deeper capital base.
• Honeywell: Industrial conglomerate with building energy management, process optimization, and sustainability offerings. Competes with GECM in industrial energy efficiency and decarbonization advisory as part of a much larger portfolio.

Direct peers

• Energy Action: Australian energy management and procurement services firm serving commercial and industrial customers. Comparable on energy auditing, NABERS/CBD ratings, and ongoing energy management, with a larger platform footprint than GECM.
• Pangolin Associates: Australian carbon accounting, LCA, and sustainability consultancy. Overlaps directly with GECM on carbon neutral roadmaps, Scope 3 / LCA engagements, and EPD verification work for industrial clients.
• 100% Renewables: Australian renewable energy and net zero consultancy targeting commercial and industrial customers. Overlaps with GECM on net zero strategy, carbon accounting, and renewable energy transition advisory.
• Energetics: Australian energy management and carbon advisory consultancy serving industrial and commercial clients. Closely comparable to GECM in target market (large energy users), service mix (audits, M&V, strategy), and regulatory expertise (NGERS, NGER, climate disclosure).

Emerging players

• Watershed: Enterprise climate platform covering carbon accounting, reporting, and reduction. Comparable to GECM's Productivity Suite functionality and a potential software-side competitor for industrial clients building in-house decarbonization capability.
• Sweep: Enterprise carbon accounting and ESG data platform. Overlaps with GECM's Productivity Suite on emissions tracking and reporting and could increasingly encroach on the carbon accounting consultancy line.

Regional players

• Carbon Trust: UK-based global climate consultancy advising businesses and governments on carbon reduction, LCA, and net zero strategy. Directly comparable services to GECM but primarily serves UK, European, and US markets rather than Australia.
