Dive deep into Scope 2 emissions accounting with our in-depth video lecture series. This course is specifically designed for sustainability professionals, ESG analysts, and corporate sustainability/energy managers seeking a clear understanding of renewable energy procurement and reporting.

We break down the complexities of Scope 2 emissions using a market-based approach, exploring crucial instruments and strategies. Learn about:

• Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs): Understand how EACs, including RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates), GOs (Guarantees of Origin), and I-RECs (International Renewable Energy Certificates), are used to verify renewable energy claims.
• Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Master PPAs (physical and virtual) – a key tool for securing renewable energy.
• RE100 Criteria: Discover how to leverage PPAs (physical, virtual), i-RECs, RECs, GOs, and TIGRs to meet RE100 goals and achieve compliance with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
• Energy Exchanges: Explore the role of Energy Exchanges in facilitating renewable energy purchases and optimizing corporate sourcing strategies.
• i-REC Trading: Gain a detailed understanding of the steps involved in trading one i-REC certificate and the parties involved in i-REC/REC/EAC trading.
• Global RECs: Learn about the existence and implications of RECs at the global level.
• Market-Based vs. Location-Based Accounting: Understand the differences between these two methods as outlined in the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Comprehend both market-based and location-based Scope 2 accounting methods according to the GHG Protocol.
• Effectively utilize EACs to validate renewable energy sourcing.
• Strategically employ PPAs (physical and virtual), i-RECs, RECs, GOs, and TIGRs to achieve RE100 and SBTi targets.
• Navigate Energy Exchanges to enhance corporate renewable energy sourcing.
• Determine the appropriate type of RE instrument (bundled/unbundled) for your organization.
• Align Scope 2 emissions with broader decarbonization efforts.
