What is REC? How can I integrate it with CarbonX?

REC stands for Renewable Energy Certificate. It is a standardized and globally recognized system for tracking renewable energy production and consumption. REC certificates represent proof that 1 MWh of electricity was generated from renewable energy sources and can be used to offset emissions by organizations aiming to meet net zero goals.

To integrate REC Data with CarbonX:

1.      Go to the 'RECs' tab in the CarbonX platform.

2.      Upload your REC data to include previously purchased REC certificates in your emission calculations.

3.      Automatic integration: CarbonX will automatically factor in your REC data and calculate market and location-based Scope 2 electricity emissions for accurate reporting.

This ensures that your emissions accounting reflects the impact of renewable energy use in a transparent and verifiable manner.
