Accelerate the energy transition with Renewable Energy Attribute Certificates
Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) , are documents that prove electricity was produced from renewable sources like wind, solar, or hydro power.
When companies buy EACs, they show they are using clean energy, even if the actual electricity they use comes from their energy provider. This approach is an important part of a Net Zero transition, reducing your Scope 2 emissions in line with mandatory legislation and voluntary reporting standards.
EACs are an easy, sustainable choice. They support and grow renewable energy projects and are important for making sure more of our energy comes from green sources.

Getting started with EACs
The process for procuring EACs through Anthesis is straight forward.
- Determine how much electricity you have used or will use per country per year.
- Anthesis can advise you on the appropriate attributes, taking your preferences (emissionality, additionality, third certifications…), and reporting standards into account.
- We can arrange the procurement process of the corresponding EACs, including the official cancellation.
- You can make a reliable claim about the use of renewable energy to communicate about.
If your organisation aims to be 100% renewable and achieve zero emissions, you can reach this milestone by acquiring Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) that match your non-renewable electricity consumption for the year.
By doing so, when calculating the Scope 2 emissions of your greenhouse gas inventory, your electricity consumption will be considered 100% renewable and have zero emissions.
This status is verified by the redemption of the EACs you have procured.
