Mitch Carlson

Founder & Principal

Welcome to MCE Consulting. I’m Mitch Carlson, Founder & Principal. I established MCE Consulting in 2016 to focus on advancing sustainable energy initiatives and helping address the challenges of climate change.

Before founding MCE, I began my career with the natural gas utility in my home province of Saskatchewan. Through various roles in engineering, customer service, and business development, I gained a broad understanding of energy systems across industrial, commercial, and residential settings. During this time, I also became increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of energy production, distribution, and use. A pivotal moment in my career was learning that over 15% of Saskatchewan’s greenhouse gas emissions came from fugitive gas releases in the upstream oil and gas sector. This insight inspired me to explore sustainable development, continue to improve my energy literacy, and deepen my understanding of how human activities impact the environment.

My early consulting work remained centered within the natural gas sector, leveraging my utility experience. Initially I concentrated on reducing emissions in upstream oil and gas operations and heavy industries. This included promoting resource conservation and displacing diesel and heavy fuel oil with cleaner-burning natural gas. As the energy landscape evolved, so did MCE Consulting. Today, we deliver a diverse range of services and solutions, encompassing renewable energy generation, clean fuel supply, and demand-side energy management practices to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

My approach to developing sustainable energy strategies combines advocacy, education, change leadership, and project management. MCE Consulting provides tailored services to meet the needs of organizations at every stage of their sustainability journey. These services include strategic planning to define overarching goals as well as tactical support to ensure the successful execution of these objectives. Through a robust network of industry professionals, we are able to connect clients with the additional expertise and resources they need to succeed.

Thank you for your interest in MCE Consulting. I look forward to learning more about your sustainability vision and exploring how we can help bring your initiatives to life.
