Carbon credits from energy efficiency and renewable energy are obtained by reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to a baseline scenario. By upgrading outdated technologies and installing more efficient systems to lower energy consumption—such as building retrofitting, optimized lighting, heating, and cooling—reductions in CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq) are calculated, certified, and tracked for subsequent sale on the voluntary carbon credit market.
How Are Carbon Credits Generated from Energy Efficiency and Renewable Sources?
Carbon credits are generated from projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to a reference scenario (baseline).
In the case of renewable energy, credits are issued from the generation of clean energy—such as solar, wind, or hydro—replacing electricity produced from fossil fuels.
For energy efficiency, credits originate from the measurable savings achieved through interventions that lower energy consumption, such as improved insulation, smart energy management systems, or technology upgrades.
Through the eCO₂® platform, we measure and certify GHG emission reductions using recognized methodologies, turning results into traceable and monetizable credits in the voluntary carbon market.
Our services include:
-
Detailed quantification of baseline and post-intervention emissions,
following recognized standards (e.g., ISO 14064, GHG Protocol).
-
Implementation of innovative technologies
to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
-
Validation of credits by accredited third-party entities
to ensure uniqueness and traceability.
-
Management of the carbon credit registry,
ensuring transparency in transactions and preventing double counting.
