Why do companies procure Brazil I-RECs?
Brazilian I-RECs enable credible renewable electricity claims within Brazil for compliance
purposes. These I-RECs are used to:
Report market-based Scope 2 emissions
Possible or mandatory under reporting standards like GHG Protocol, CDP, RE100, SBTI, and
more.
Without I-RECs, companies must report using Brazil's residual mix carbon intensity,
currently
115.8 gCO2/kWh
.
Satisfy investor ESG mandates
Meet institutional investor requirements and sustainability fund eligibility criteria to
qualify for funding at better terms.
Meet customer demand for sustainability
Back defensible renewable electricity claims with registry-verified, audit-ready
cancellations.
Fund renewable generation
Channel capital to renewable energy producers through certificate revenue streams,
making further construction more economically viable.
