The escalating battle over renewable energy certificates (RECs)

In this episode I’m joined by Wilson Ricks and Killian Daly, who
are involved in the process of updating the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol that governs (among other things) corporate clean-energy
procurement. We explore the proposed shift to requiring hourly,
local matching for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), a change
designed to end the “race to the bottom” where companies buy
cheap, low-impact RECs to paper over the fact that being “100
percent clean” is genuinely difficult.
