What is I-REC?
I-REC (International Renewable Energy Certificate) is an internationally recognized certificate system that verifies the use of electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, etc. Each certificate corresponds to 1 MWh of renewable electricity consumed, tracked and certified through a transparent and independent management platform.
In the context of globalization and increasing environmental standards, I-REC has become an effective tool for businesses to demonstrate their use of clean electricity, supporting their goals of emission reduction and sustainable development.
What benefits does I-REC bring to businesses?
1. Recorded in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reports
Purchasing I-REC certificates helps businesses prove that their electricity consumption comes from renewable sources. This contributes to reducing indirect emissions (Scope 2) in GHG emission reports—an increasingly common requirement in environmental audits and ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) reporting.
2. Enhanced credibility in the global supply chain
Many international corporations now require their suppliers to use clean energy or demonstrate emission reduction efforts. Owning I-REC certificates helps businesses meet these standards, boosting trust in tenders, market expansion, and retaining major partners.
3. Access to green finance and incentive policies
Sustainable investment funds, green banks, and tax or credit incentive programs often prioritize businesses with clear green development strategies. I-REC provides concrete proof of such commitment, making it easier for businesses to access favorable financial resources.
4. Facilitates energy transition without changing existing power infrastructure
Businesses are not required to install solar power systems or alter their current electrical setups. Purchasing and using I-REC is a simple, flexible way to legally and transparently record the use of renewable electricity.
