Certification Recognizes Renewable Origin of Energy

The RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) certify that the energy generated is from a renewable source.

In the case of REC Brazil, the certificates follow the international iREC criteria but also include a sustainability supplement based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Therefore, each unit sold carries not only the environmental value but also the commitment to social and ecological impact in the served regions.

Additionally, all Voltalia projects are certified for this model and meet at least five different SDGs.

Large Companies Buy RECs from Voltalia

Among the main buyers of the RECs issued by Voltalia in 2024 are Braskem, Itaú, and Leroy Merlin.

These companies use the certificates to offset their carbon emissions, while also reinforcing their alignment with their corporate sustainability strategies.

According to Voltalia itself, the success of the issuances is tied to long-term contracts and strategic partnerships, which allowed the company to market 100% of its production.

With the high demand for RECs in Brazil, the company began to keep pace with the growth of the national market, expanding its role in the emissions offset segment.

GAS-REC Certificates Also Gain Importance

In addition to electricity RECs, the article also highlights the role of GNR Fortaleza in the GAS-RECs market, aimed at renewable generation with biomethane.

The plant, a partnership between Marquise Ambiental and MDC Energia, was the one that issued and retired the most GAS-RECs in 2024.

Between 2021 and 2023, the plant generated nearly 3 million MMBTU, of which over 1.6 million were sold and nearly 900 thousand have already been retired by early 2024.

Each certificate equals 1 million BTU or 0.29 MWh of renewable energy generated from biomethane.

According to Instituto Totum, auditors check, register, and “retire” the certificates after use, ensuring that consumers have effectively utilized the renewable gas, preventing its resale.

This process is essential for companies to demonstrate concrete actions of decarbonization and sustainability.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

Raising tilapia, the most farmed fish in Brazil, with solar-powered tanks is a trend gaining strength in the field because the panels ensure water oxygenation in places without electricity and reduce costs, although profitability depends on management, feed, and market.

In just 24 days, China erected 7,733 foldable houses alongside nearly 10,000 tents and sheltered over 47,000 residents in one of the highest and most inhospitable regions on the planet, in what is considered the fastest housing deployment in history.
