Is your clean energy strategy delivering the reductions you think it is?
Our new report, “Redefining renewable electricity procurement: Implications of a carbon-matching approach and its potential for accelerating grid decarbonization”, explores the potential impact of a carbon-matching approach to renewable electricity procurement—a framework that prioritizes avoided GHG emissions over traditional megawatt-hour matching.
Using real-world data and emissions modeling, the report shows how companies can dramatically increase the avoided GHG emissions they support by shifting how and where they purchase renewable energy. In fact, just by reallocating 50% of 2023 voluntary procurement spend, corporate buyers could have supported 2.8x more avoided GHG emissions.
This report is essential reading for sustainability leaders, energy buyers, and anyone working on scope 2 emissions, corporate decarbonization, or sustainability reporting.
