Does using 100% renewable electricity result in zero market-based Scope 2 emissions, and do renewable purchases need certificate verification?

Yes, if you buy 100 percent renewable electricity and it is backed by valid certificates like GOs, RECs, or I-RECs, you can report zero market-based Scope 2 emissions.

You must have proof that the certificates were properly retired and not double-counted. When you purchase through our platform, ACT handles the certificate retirement for you in the official registry. This means you can confidently report zero emissions and you will have all the documentation needed if your report is audited.
