Energy Efficiency Certificates
Energy Efficiency Certificates Also called white certificates, they certify energy savings from improvement interventions to reduce energy consumption. The energy savings are measured under recognized standards and certificates tracked under transparent reporting mechanisms (e.g., CEE).
Paramount to reducing our carbon footprint is to reduce our energy consumption.
In certain markets, such as France Italy or Austria, a government agency can turn this saved energy into "white certificates", which are acquired by mandated buyers. Energy efficiency should be part of any CO2 emissions reduction strategy. If you have buildings in a market that supports a white certificate scheme, you will not only save money on your future power bills, but the construction work can be largely financed by the white certificates.
How we can help
GO2 Markets is a major player on the French white certificate market and has participated in the saving of over 35 TWh of energy consumption in France. However, the methods to achieve energy efficiency are everywhere the same, and we can help you identify the best measures by implementing existing standards and setting financing strategies.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
A direct contractual agreement between energy producer and consumer with a third-party involvement. The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) defines the conditions of the agreement, such as the amount of electricity to be supplied, negotiated prices and a duration.
Energy Attribute Certificates
Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) allow companies to track and prove their renewable energy consumption, supporting achievement of sustainability goals. Depending on geography, EACs include GOs, RECs, and I-RECs.
Carbon Offsetting
Even when reducing energy use and switching to renewable energy, some greenhouse gas emissions are hard to eliminate. Emissions that cannot be avoided, can be neutralized by engaging in emission reduction somewhere else.
Biomethane Certificates
Biomethane derived from biogas, is a renewable, low carbon-footprint energy source generated from the breakdown of organic matter such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, and plant material.
