Do Scope 2 reductions achieved through EACs lead to real global CO₂ emission reductions?

EACs can have real climate impact when sourced with clear intent and quality standards. When companies choose certificates that support new renewable energy projects, align with high-impact geographies, or reflect strong environmental attributes, they help shift demand away from fossil fuels and toward cleaner generation.

EACs offer a credible and flexible way for companies to decarbonize their Scope 2 emissions, especially in markets where other options are limited. To ensure meaningful impact, companies should consider the origin, vintage, and additionality of the EACs they purchase. ACT can help companies navigate these decisions and secure certificates that align with both their reporting goals and climate ambitions.
