Translate electricity targets into sourcing criteria
Connect market-based Scope 2 questions to countries, certificate systems, origins, vintages, technologies, volumes, and documentation.

Understand SBTi targets and connect renewable electricity work to practical sourcing.
The Science Based Targets initiative focuses on setting and validating emissions targets. GreenPowerHub helps with one practical part of the work: renewable electricity certificate market coverage, RFQs, market context, marketplace activity, and supplier Scope 2 sourcing workflows.

Which SBTi-related electricity question are you working through?
SBTi target work is broader than certificate sourcing. Use GreenPowerHub where renewable electricity markets and supplier electricity programs become practical execution work.
Use supplier electricity as one Scope 3 lever
When supplier electricity is in scope, route teams toward coverage lookup and sourcing workflows instead of broad accounting claims.

SBTi and execution
SBTi work needs target setting and accounting discipline before certificate sourcing.
SBTi target setting is broader than any single certificate purchase. It involves emissions inventories, target boundaries, validation, annual progress, and review of claims.
GreenPowerHub supports the renewable electricity execution layer. Teams can use the platform to check certificate market coverage, structure RFQs, compare market context, engage marketplace opportunities, and move qualified activity into trade workflow.
Certificate sourcing does not by itself guarantee SBTi approval or compliance. The practical role is to support market-based Scope 2 work and supplier electricity engagement when the underlying accounting and claim are reviewed.
SBTi-related sourcing criteria
- Which SBTi standard or guidance applies
- Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 target boundaries
- Countries and facilities included in the electricity footprint
- Location-based and market-based Scope 2 reporting needs
- Certificate system, origin, vintage, technology, and documentation
- Supplier engagement needs for Scope 3 purchased goods and services
GreenPowerHub workflow
Move from an SBTi-related electricity need to a sourcing workflow.
GreenPowerHub can help once the target, accounting, or supplier-engagement work creates a concrete renewable electricity requirement.
-
1
Define the need
Clarify whether the work supports Scope 2 sourcing, supplier Scope 2 engagement, or a broader target-setting process that needs separate review.
-
2
Check market fit
Use certificate market coverage to understand which systems, countries, and origins may be relevant for the electricity footprint.
-
3
Build comparable RFQs
Specify origin, vintage, technology, volume, delivery, labels, documentation, and response deadlines so suppliers quote against the same scope.
-
4
Manage next steps
Compare market context, engage marketplace opportunities, and move selected activity into trade workflow and documentation follow-up.

SBTi, GHG Protocol, and BVCM guidance are connected but not interchangeable.
GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance defines market-based reporting with contractual instruments. SBTi target setting and validation bring additional target-level expectations that should be reviewed separately.
Scope 3 and supplier engagement work can involve supplier electricity, but GreenPowerHub is not a full Scope 3 accounting system. Use it when supplier renewable electricity sourcing becomes a practical workstream.
SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2 process is in progress as of May 2026. Public claims should avoid presenting draft requirements as final and should be reviewed before launch.
FAQ
SBTi and renewable electricity questions
SBTi basics
What is SBTi?
The Science Based Targets initiative develops standards, guidance, and validation services for companies setting greenhouse gas emissions targets in line with climate science.
Does GreenPowerHub validate SBTi targets?
No. GreenPowerHub is not an SBTi validator or climate accounting platform. It supports renewable electricity certificate sourcing workflows that may be useful after a company has defined its target, footprint, and claim requirements.
Which SBTi questions can GreenPowerHub help with?
GreenPowerHub can help when SBTi target work creates practical questions about Scope 2 electricity, supplier engagement, renewable electricity certificates, and beyond value chain mitigation boundaries.
Renewable electricity fit
Can renewable electricity certificates support SBTi-related Scope 2 work?
Renewable electricity certificates can support market-based Scope 2 reporting when the certificate, geography, timing, tracking, and claim fit the relevant guidance. They do not automatically guarantee SBTi approval or claim eligibility.
Do GreenPowerHub certificates automatically satisfy SBTi requirements?
No. GreenPowerHub helps teams find certificate markets, structure RFQs, compare market context, and manage sourcing workflows; companies still need to review their accounting, target boundaries, and public claims.
How does SBTi connect to supplier engagement?
Supplier engagement can include helping suppliers understand and act on their own electricity footprint. GreenPowerHub can support the renewable electricity sourcing part through country coverage, RFQ, market data, marketplace, and trade workflow.
How does SBTi connect to beyond value chain mitigation?
BVCM sits outside a company's own value chain and should be treated separately from science-based target achievement. Use the BVCM guide for the boundary and claims context.
