RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates)

Last updated 3 months ago

The REC screen allows you to upload, manage, and report your organization’s renewable energy certificates (RECs).
Users can enter certificates purchased for Scope 2 electricity and steam/heating/cooling consumption, ensuring accurate calculation of market-based emissions.
Once a certificate is added, the system automatically calculates and reports both location-based and market-based emissions separately.
