Gabe Procaccini is a leading practitioner in the carbon offsets space and advises a diverse range of clients, from battery technology start-ups to LNG project developers to large industrial energy users, across the global energy value chain. Gabe has advised on transactions with a notional value of over $125 billion and leads transactions at the heart of the energy transition, including matters involving the (i) monetization of oil, gas and mining assets through new and emerging pathways made available by structured carbon finance, (ii) implementation of emissions reductions solutions through targeted avoidance, technology-based removal and novel penalty-reward systems and (iii) development and commercialization of new energy innovations, including hydrogen hubs. He led the Akin team on one of the world’s first carbon-neutral energy transactions and his February 2021 article on Key Considerations for Carbon-Neutral Oil and LNG Transactions Using Carbon Offsets is an authoritative guide on the creation of carbon-neutral energy products.
