| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Certification & Verification ProgramsThe Green-e programs help individuals and organizations increase their use of the renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions by providing not just consumer protection, but also advocacy, education, and market oversight. Together, the three Green-e programsGreen-e Climate, Green-e Energy, and Green-e Marketplaceprovide a framework for the private sector to increase its use of renewable energy by increasing the integrity and transparency of existing clean energy markets that operate largely independent of state and federal oversight. Nearly two decades after its creation in 1997, Green-e is certifying the majority of the voluntary renewable energy market in the U.S. and over 90% of renewable energy certificate (REC) transactions. The programs certify a wide range of options to support consumers and businesses in reducing their environmental impacts, and help drive the transition to a clean energy economy. Green-e Climate certifies carbon offsets sold in the retail market to businesses and individuals looking to reduce the impact of their non-electricity energy use, like heating, driving, and flying, both in the U.S. and internationally. This year Green-e Climate continued its growth, certifying new products offered through natural gas providers, and seeing more companies than ever offsetting their carbon footprints with Green-e climate certified offsets. Since its launch in 2008, Green-e Climate remains the only certification program ensuring the quality of carbon reductions and accuracy and transparency along the entire chain of custody, from the project to the end consumer.Green-e Energy is North Americas largest certification program for renewable energy products sold to consumers and businesses in the voluntary market. Established in 1997, the program certifies the full range of renewable energy purchasing options, including utility green-power programs, REC products, green electricity programs offered by energy service providers in states that offer consumer choice, community choice aggregation programs, shared solar, and direct purchasing/PPAs. Last year showed continued growth for the program, with over 50 million MWh of new renewable energy certified through Green-e Energy. In 2016, CRS also assembled an international advisory committee and began developing framing documents to expand Green-e outside of North America.Green-e Marketplace works with organizations and businesses of all sizes to help them reduce the impact of their energy use and promote their environmental actions to their stakeholders and employees. In 2016, over 500 companies and products were certified by the program. The Green-e logo was used on a wide range of products manufactured with 100% renewable energy, including consumer packaged goods, food and wine, and paper and printing materials. Participants also used the logo in stakeholder communications, including sustainability reports, in-store displays, and websites |
