Why do companies procure Japan I-RECs?
Japanese I-RECs enable credible renewable electricity claims within Japan 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.
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.
