75+ percent
of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by energy consumption and production
For most companies, purchased electricity is a large contributor to their carbon footprint, and also the fastest to address. But many companies delay action assuming the switch to renewable energy means renegotiating complex supply chain contracts.
The good news: it doesn’t.
With Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), you can source renewable electricity today while keeping your existing energy supplier.

Frequently asked questions
Purchasing renewable electricity with EACs is straightforward and can be completed within a week, depending on the number of markets and volume of certificates required. Companies can claim renewable energy use immediately upon order confirmation.
No. EACs work independently of your physical electricity supply. You keep your existing contracts.
Yes. Market-based scope 2 accounting with EACs is accepted by SBTi, provided the certificates meet their quality criteria.
An EAC is a certificate proving that renewable electricity was generated and fed into the grid. A renewable PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a long-term contract to buy electricity directly from a renewable energy project. Both reduce scope 2 emissions, but PPAs offer price certainty and stronger additionality claims.
Yes. ClimatePartner operates across all major global certificate systems, including GOs (Europe), RECs (North America), I-RECs (Asia, Africa, Latin America), national systems (Australia, China, Japan), and more.
Pricing depends on volume, geography, and quality criteria. Request a free assessment to get a tailored quote.
Yes. While EACs are most commonly used to reduce scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from purchased electricity for your own facilities), they can also be used to report reduced upstream scope 3 emissions. If your suppliers switch to renewable electricity using EACs, their scope 2 reductions flow directly into your scope 3 footprint.
No. Since all electricity, renewable and non-renewable, is fed into one common grid, it is not possible to physically trace electricity from producer to consumer. Even if your supplier generates renewable electricity, without an EAC you are receiving the average grid electricity mix in your carbon accounting. Purchasing EACs ensures you can credibly claim the renewable attributes of that electricity.
