Today, we face the challenge of ineffective clean energy claims as consumption is matched to production annual and often from places where electricity cannot even be delivered. Granular Certificates (i. This problem could be fixed using Granular Certificates (Time-Stamped Energy Attribute Certificates). e GCs or T-EACs), revolutionize energy certificates by telling us the time of production, enabling matching of consumption with clean power production by the hour.

This is next frontier of clean energy sourcing and will be enabled by time-stamped Granular Certificates. Robust empirical research from the International Energy Agency, Princeton University, and MIT supports this approach and its various benefits:

• Enables consumers to drive deep decarbonization of the grid – every hour.

• Enables the production of clean products, like hydrogen, without any fossil reliance.

• Provides more transparency by linking production to consumption in ‘real-time’.

• Supports storage and flexibility by providing a new price signal.

• Facilitates better risk management by avoiding volatile fossil-based electricity pricing.

The illustration below shows us how much more transparent GCs are.
