The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validates your corporate climate ambition, but executing that ambition requires bulletproof market-based accounting. Learn how to meet your SBTi Scope 2 targets and automate the EAC operations that make your claims audit-proof.
SBTi does not invent new carbon accounting rules. Instead, it strictly enforces the foundational rules set by the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance. To claim emission reductions under your SBTi targets, your renewable energy procurement must flawlessly follow dual-reporting standards.
Under SBTi, companies can set standard emission reduction targets, or they can opt for the Renewable Electricity Target route - committing to actively procure 80% renewable electricity by 2025 and 100% by 2030. In either case, your market-based accounting is what proves your progress.
If you do not procure EACs, you must calculate using the Residual Mix - the grid average after all clean energy claimed by other companies has been removed.
SBTi requires rigorous annual reporting to ensure you are actually tracking against your approved trajectory. Because the market-based method relies entirely on contractual instruments, the burden of proof falls entirely on you.
During annual audits, sustainability teams must produce detailed cancellation statements for every megawatt-hour claimed, across every operating region, proving that market boundaries, vintages, and ownership rules were respected. Crucially, auditors increasingly expect to see the exact origin of this energy - you need documentation that proves your renewable consumption down to the specific power generation device.
Every EAC managed through Soldera is automatically cancelled in the correct registry and supplied with the actual registry cancellation statement. Track origin down to the specific generation device for your SBTi progress reports.
Our system matches your consumption with EACs that meet all SBTi and GHG Protocol geographic and vintage requirements. No manual checking, no spreadsheet errors.
Soldera interfaces directly with primary government registries, ensuring absolute exclusive ownership and preventing double-counting across any instruments.
Extend the platform to your supply chain so suppliers can procure, cancel, and report compliant Scope 2 data directly back to you, seamlessly powering your SBTi Scope 3 reductions.
