Renewable procurement is one of the fastest and most scalable ways for organizations to reduce their Scope 2 emissions. Cognitud helps companies navigate global renewable certificate markets and build effective procurement strategies.
Understanding renewable energy certificates can be challenging, given the variation in standards, market maturity, and regulatory rules across regions. Cognitud brings sharp clarity by decoding RECs, iRECs, and other certificate systems, helping organizations determine what is eligible, credible, and appropriate for their operational footprint. We evaluate alignment with reporting frameworks, grid sustainability factors, and climate claims to ensure certificate procurement is responsible, transparent, and defensible.
A strong renewable energy strategy demands a clean energy procurement plan built around long-term decarbonization goals. Cognitud designs tailored strategies that consider volume requirements, cost dynamics, contractual models, and long-term energy objectives from full renewable coverage to phased adoption. Whether organizations aim for 100% renewable electricity, hybrid models, or year-on-year scaling, we design procurement approaches that are practical, compliant, and economically sound, with an emphasis on meeting evolving sustainability targets.
Amid a rapidly expanding pool of global suppliers and certificate issuers, choosing the right partners is critical. Cognitud applies rigorous due diligence—reviewing project attributes, geography, vintage, and certification integrity—to identify high-quality RECs and iRECs. Our evaluation ensures each instrument reinforces credible sustainability claims and stands strong under external scrutiny through robust certificate verification.
Green energy certificates must integrate seamlessly into reporting workflows and operational energy management. Cognitud integrates RECs and iRECs into annual reporting cycles, inventory calculations, procurement processes, and performance dashboards. By aligning procurement with GHG Protocol rules, SBTi guidance, and local disclosure regulations, we ensure renewable claims remain accurate, traceable, and aligned with market norms.
