What is a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)?
The environmental value of electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass can be visualized in the form of a certificate.
CO2 emissions can be offset by using the certificate for electricity.
Shizen Energy can offer a variety of Renewable Energy Certificates to meet your needs.
What are non-fossil fuel energy certificates with tracking?
A FIT non-fossil fuel energy certificate is a REC which has renewable energy value.
Non-fossil fuel energy certificate with tracking verifies information such as power source type and power plant location.
By procuring the necessary amount of certificates, it will allow your company to promote that “your company's electricity is powered by renewable energy.”
RECs can be applied to RE100, CDP and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
