How Do Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Work?
Reduce Your Scope 2 Carbon Emissions
Reach Your Renewable Energy Goals!
The Energy Problem
Electricity is produced from both green & grey sources. When it is fed into the grid & distributed, each electron is indistinguishable.
Renewable Energy
(Green Energy)
- Solar
- Wind
- Hydropower
- Biomass
Fossil Energy
(Gray Energy)
- Fossil
- Oil
- Gas
- Coal
There is no way for electricity consumers to track ‘green’ or ‘grey’ electrons through the central grid
Clean Your Energy Source with REC
