Offset Your Company's Carbon Footprint
Organizations working to lower their carbon footprint have a variety of mitigation options available, including activities to reduce their direct and indirect emissions through energy efficiency initiatives, switching to green power, and purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (also known as Renewable Energy Credits or RECs).
In North America, renewable power can be purchased and managed in the form of RECs. Each REC embodies the environmental attribute of one megawatt-hour (MWh, equal to 1,000 kilowatt-hours) of renewable electricity that is generated by renewable facilities. Certain wind, solar, geothermal, low-impact hydro, and biomass facilities qualify as renewable energy.
Why Purchase RECs
If you own RECs corresponding to the amount of power you use, you know that the same amount of power was generated at a renewable facility and delivered to the power grid.
No Long-Term Commitment
You’re not ready to make the long-term commitment for solar energy or other renewable energy generation yet.
No Land or Capital Required
Building/owning onsite generation is not a viable option for your organization but you still want to reduce the emissions associated with the electricity portion of your company’s energy use.
Carbon Reduction Across Geographies
You have facilities in multiple states so a consolidated REC procurement strategy would be the best option to achieve renewable goals at all locations.
