Renewable Energy Consumers
Contributors to Global Decarbonisation
Renewable Energy Consumers are companies and institutions that choose to power their operations with renewable electricity rather than the conventional fossil-fuel grid. This choice is not symbolic, but measurable: for every megawatt-hour of renewable electricity consumed, several hundred kilograms of CO₂ are avoided. Expressed with precision in tons of CO₂, these figures give substance to climate commitments and demonstrate a clear contribution to global decarbonisation.
The Role of Renewable Energy Certificates
Certificates such as RECs, Guarantees of Origin, and I-RECs give traceability to renewable energy claims. They ensure that the electricity a company consumes is matched by certified renewable production. While they do not alter the flow of electrons on the grid, they guarantee that renewable energy is generated, measured, and accounted for.
For companies, these certificates serve as:
- Proof of contribution to renewable generation.
- Protection against accusations of unverifiable or exaggerated claims.
- Recognition in international frameworks that value transparency and traceability.
Our Role
Avoides ensures that renewable electricity consumption is translated into exact figures of avoided CO₂.
Our work includes:
Precise quantification of avoided CO₂ emissions
Avoides accurately measures how much CO₂ is prevented through renewable energy use, applying transparent and traceable data methodologies.
Verified renewable energy sourcing
We validate renewable sourcing with recognized energy certificates such as Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), ensuring credibility and integrity.
Seamless ESG and CSRD integration
Avoides integrates results directly into ESG and CSRD reporting, helping companies stay compliant with European and international sustainability frameworks.
Real-time public visibility
Through live dashboards and digital displays, we provide real-time visualization of avoided CO₂ emissions, reinforcing transparency and public trust.
Strategic communication and reporting tools
We support organizations with tailored visuals, graphs, and reports designed for investors, regulators, and the public, translating performance into clear and compelling communication.
Strategic Benefits
Reputation and trust
Companies that quantify avoided emissions distinguish themselves as climate-responsible, strengthening relationships with clients, regulators, and investors.
Transparency and integrity
Reliance on recognized tools and standards protects against accusations of greenwashing.
Communication value
Quantified results can be displayed in ESG/CSRD reports, investor decks, and shareholder newsletters, and can be shared in sustainability campaigns and media outreach.
Public display
In a competitive market, quantifiable proof of renewable energy use creates brand differentiation and responds to the rising pressure for responsibility from consumers and society.
