Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using Guarantees of Origin for SBTi targets
How do Guarantees of Origin help meet SBTi targets?
Guarantees of Origin (GOs) are Environmental Attribute Certificates that allow companies to claim specific renewable energy consumption for their Scope 2 emissions reporting. Under the GHG Protocol's market-based method, GOs enable you to report lower emissions by demonstrating that your electricity comes from renewable sources. This directly contributes to achieving your SBTi near-term and long-term targets for Scope 2 emissions reduction.
Are renewable energy certificates accepted by SBTi for Scope 2?
Yes, the Science Based Targets initiative recognizes renewable energy certificates, including Guarantees of Origin, as valid instruments for Scope 2 emissions reduction when used according to GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance. The SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard accepts market-based reporting using quality renewable energy certificates that meet specific criteria including vintage requirements, geographic considerations, and proper tracking/retirement.
What's changing with SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2?
The draft Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2 (currently under consultation) maintains support for Environmental Attribute Certificates while emphasizing the need for real decarbonization impact. The standard is expected to provide clearer guidance on quality criteria for certificates and may introduce additional requirements for demonstrating additionality. GreenPowerHub continuously monitors these developments to ensure our platform remains fully compliant with evolving standards.
How does geographic matching work for SBTi compliance?
While SBTi doesn't mandate strict geographic matching, best practice suggests procuring renewable energy from the same grid or market where your operations consume electricity. GreenPowerHub allows you to filter certificates by country and region, enabling you to source renewable energy that aligns with your operational footprint. This approach strengthens your claims and demonstrates genuine local impact.
Can GOs be used for both near-term and net-zero targets?
Yes, Guarantees of Origin can contribute to both your near-term (typically 2030) and long-term net-zero (2050) targets for Scope 2 emissions. However, SBTi encourages companies to transition over time from certificate purchases to direct procurement methods like PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) as part of a comprehensive decarbonization strategy. GreenPowerHub supports this journey by offering both certificate trading and facilitating connections for direct renewable energy procurement.
