Turn renewable energy into tradeable certificates

Trade renewable energy certificates with a team that understands IREC, TIGR and EAC markets, from issuance to sale.

What sets our renewable certificate trading apart

We handle registration, issuance, and trading, connecting you with buyers across global markets and compliance requirements.

Registration and trading under one roof

We register renewable energy facilities and trade the certificates they produce. No separate vendor.

Global buyer access

We connect generators with buyers across geographies, RE100 commitments, and corporate sustainability targets.

IRECs, TIGRs, and EACs, all handled in-house

We handle multiple certificate types, each with its own registry and buyer requirements.

Transfer and retirement managed

From issuance to retirement against claims, we manage the full lifecycle of every certificate.

IREC & EACs · Market basics

One MWh of renewable power becomes one tradeable certificate

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) prove that renewable electricity was generated. Buyers use them to evidence clean-power use in Scope 2 reporting, without owning a plant.

HOW A CERTIFICATE IS CREATED

1

Generate

A registered renewable device produces electricity.

2

Register and issue

A registry issues certificates; each represents 1 MWh.

3

Trade

Sold on the market or through bilateral and OTC deals.

3

Retire and claim

The buyer retires the certificate and reports the claim.

INSTRUMENTS WE TRADE

1

I-REC

International REC. Each certificate represents 1 MWh of renewable generation, issued through authorised registries.

2

TIGR

Another international EAC instrument. Eligibility and buyer acceptance vary by country and registry, so we confirm both before purchase.

1

Other EACs

Regional instruments sit alongside I-REC and TIGR, so one portfolio can cover several markets.

IDEAL FOR
Companies with global operations
Voluntary climate goals
ESG and Scope 2 reporting
Renewable generators
Portfolio planning

Acceptance of each instrument depends on the reporting framework and the buyer’s requirements.

Certificates issued but never traded

Many generators issue certificates but have no trading strategy. We handle both sides so certificates move toward revenue.

Buyer requirements that differ by geography

RE100 commitments and corporate sustainability mandates require different certificate formats. We match the right tools to the right buyer.

Generators and buyers stuck on opposite sides

Corporates need certificates at predictable prices. Generators need help unlocking certificate revenue. We connect both sides with one integrated team.

Straight answers on I-REC and energy attribute certificates

Start with what companies ask most about claims, sourcing, and how certificates differ from carbon credits, then bring us your goals.

What are I-RECs and EACs?

International RECs (I-RECs) and Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are certificates that represent proof that one unit of electricity was generated from a renewable or specified energy source.

Why would a company purchase I-RECs or EACs?

Companies typically purchase them to support renewable energy claims, meet voluntary sustainability targets, or demonstrate procurement of clean electricity.

How is an I-REC different from other renewable certificates?

I-RECs are generally used in markets without a domestic REC scheme, while other certificate types may be specific to a particular country's regulatory framework; the applicable option depends on the market in question.

Can Infinite Solutions help with sourcing or issuing I-RECs/EACs?

Support around I-REC/EAC registration, issuance, and trading is a stated area of focus. Specific processes should be confirmed based on current registry rules.

Do I-RECs guarantee physical delivery of renewable electricity?

No. Generally, these certificates represent an attribute claim tied to generation, not a guarantee of the physical electrons delivered to a specific consumer; this distinction is a general feature of certificate-based systems and should be understood before making claims based on them.

What is an I-REC?

An International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC) is a tradable instrument that represents the environmental attributes of one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity. Buying and retiring I-RECs lets an organization credibly claim it is using renewable power, supporting RE100 and net-zero goals.

How are I-RECs different from carbon credits?

An I-REC certifies the renewable origin of electricity (one MWh), while a carbon credit represents one tonne of CO2-equivalent reduced or removed. They serve different claims, clean-electricity sourcing versus emission offsetting, and are generally not interchangeable.
