What are Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)?

EACs are digital records proving the origin of renewable electricity — including RECs, GOs, and I-RECs — used for Scope 2 reporting.

Sentinel Earth helps buyers navigate global EAC systems to meet sustainability targets.

What are RECs, GOs, and I-RECs?

These are Energy Attribute Certificates that represent 1 MWh of renewable electricity generated. RECs are used in North America, GOs in Europe, and I-RECs internationally.

Sentinel Earth helps corporate energy buyers procure, retire, and report EACs credibly — ensuring renewable claims meet regulatory and Scope 2 standards.

What is insetting?

Insetting is when a company funds emissions reductions within its own supply chain — rather than externally offsetting.

Sentinel Earth co-develops insetting strategies for food, fashion, and manufacturing firms — linking climate gains with operational sustainability.
