Wind turbines and solar panels across a renewable energy landscape
Renewable Energy Certificates

Green electricity claims that stand up to scrutiny.

CREDUCE sources, verifies and retires Energy Attribute Certificates — I-RECs, Indian RECs and international equivalents — matched to where and when you consume power. The result: a lower market-based Scope 2 figure that your auditor, CDP and RE100 will accept.

Tonnes of CO₂ emissions directly avoided

*CO₂ avoided is calculated using the Central Electricity Authority's all-India weighted average grid emission factor of 0.710 tCO₂/MWh (CO₂ Baseline Database v21.0, FY 2024-25). Figures cover certificates retired from January 2022 to July 2026.

From purchase to proof, handled end to end.

Buying a certificate is easy. Buying the right one, in the right market, for the right period — and proving it later — is where most claims fall apart. We take care of every step.

01

Sourcing

I-RECs, Indian RECs, Guarantees of Origin and other EACs from vetted generators, chosen to match your grid region, vintage and reporting year.

02

Due diligence

We check each batch for generation proof, issuance status, plant age and registry history, so you only buy attributes that hold up under audit.

03

Matching & retirement

Volumes matched to your site-level consumption, then retired in your name on the official registry with a redemption statement for every MWh.

04

Strategy & PPAs

When the numbers support it, we help you move beyond certificates to green open access, captive solar or long-term PPAs.

570 TWh+

Annual electricity use of RE100 companies — more than South Korea's entire grid.

Over 430 of the world's largest companies have committed to 100% renewable electricity through RE100, and their suppliers are next in line. For Indian exporters and manufacturers, credible green-power claims are fast becoming a condition of doing business.

1 MWh generated. 1 certificate issued. 1 claim made.

Every time a registered solar, wind or hydro plant feeds one megawatt-hour into the grid, a certificate is issued for it. When you buy that certificate and retire it against your own consumption, the renewable attribute is yours — and you report that electricity as zero-emission under the market-based method of GHG Protocol Scope 2. The physical electrons don't change; the ownership of the clean claim does.

1. Generate

A renewable plant produces 1 MWh and the registry issues one certificate.

2. Transfer

The certificate moves to your account through a verified trade.

3. Retire

It is redeemed in your name for a set period and site, and can never be resold.

Four checks every certificate must pass.

Traceable

The MWh was really generated by an identified, registered plant, and issued only once.

Matched

Same market boundary, same reporting year and enough volume to cover your consumption.

Retired on record

Redemption is logged on the official registry with a statement your auditor can verify.

Exclusive

No other buyer, utility or government programme claims the same attribute.

Miss one of these and your Scope 2 number becomes a liability. Pass all four and it becomes a disclosure you can defend.

Carbon-market experience, applied to clean power.

Since 2021, CREDUCE has developed, monitored and traded environmental commodities for corporates and governments, including a carbon-credit partnership with the Government of Gujarat. We bring the same discipline to renewable energy certificates: clear sourcing, documented checks and one point of contact from first quote to final retirement.

Common questions

A tradable proof that 1 MWh of electricity came from a renewable source. I-RECs are the international standard; India also has its own RECs, and Europe uses Guarantees of Origin.
