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.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:
The illustration below shows us how much more transparent GCs are. |
Refer to Granular Accounting in GHG Protocoland EnergyTag’s Blog on the Feasibility of Granular Certificates for detailed explanation of the problem and its solution.
