Ecohz

We always look forward to the annual meeting, but this time we're extra excited! We are proud to be this year's Platinum Sponsor and can't wait to talk about the multiple ways in which #EACs create real #impact. See you then! #Renewableenergy

For the third year in a row, Ecohz will make a #Christmas donation to Solar Aid for #Ukraine, an initiative by NGO Ecoclub that provides reliable solar energy to essential services and infrastructure in the country. Ecohz’s 2024 contribution will be used in the construction of a solar power installation for the Topolyanska water pumping station in Sumy, located 30 kilometres from the Russian border, which serves almost 280,000 people. We are proud to be able to help NGO Ecoclub continue their fantastic work.

In the pursuit of climate goals, businesses are looking for creative strategies to decarbonise their #Scope1. We explore emerging Biomethane Purchase Agreements and how they help cut #emissions while ensuring #gas supplies.

As always, the Ecohz Christmas party — or julebord, as we call it in Norway — was an absolute joy. Just look at all those happy faces! 🎄 The food was excellent, and the company was even better. After hearing heartfelt speeches from colleagues and sharing plenty of laughter, we are ready for another year of working as a team. An early #MerryChristmas to everyone! Wishing you all a wonderful #holiday season.

#GECs will be the only valid instruments to prove #renewableelectricity consumption in #China from 2025 onwards. How can companies purchase them and continue to comply with global sustainability standards? 👇 Click here to read the article: https://lnkd.in/dPqddjFe

"Where #electricity is gold, #EACs are diamonds." When Lars Semb Maalen-Johansen and Ivar Munch Clausen were at Nord Pool Academy delivering a course on #GuaranteesofOrigin, they drew an interesting parallel. While power is a uniform commodity like gold, which can be turned into various products while remaining essentially the same, EACs, akin to diamonds, have many different attributes. Watch the video listen to their full argument. And if you have any questions, get in touch! https://lnkd.in/dC4FvkBc

#GuaranteesofOrigin (GOs) have always been controversial in #Norway. And while some feared the largest GO producer could leave the energy tracking system, the likelihood of Norway quitting GOs has never been lower. Why? We spoke with Lars Ragnar Solberg, Principal Consultant at AFRY Management Consulting, about three main reasons for the changing attitudes of the Norwegian government and industry towards GOs: - The EU is pushing Norway to implement the long-overdue RED II. - The GO system now provides significant income to the Norwegian state. - The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is implemented in Norway and GOs will play an important role in reporting #renewableenergy use.

In our last #newsletter of the year, we review changes in #renewableenergy markets and policies from Norway to China, as well as the opportunities and challenges that arise with them. We look at #GuaranteesofOrigin in Norway and why the energy tracking system looks stronger than ever. We also tell you how to keep sourcing renewables in China after the I-REC system stops operating and how to use Biomethane Purchase Agreements to report reduced Scope 1 emissions.

#Engagement. #Collaboration. Incremental progress. Those are three key features of working on #Scope3 highlighted during last week's Europe Supply Chain Decarbonization and Sustainability Summit in Berlin. Progressing on Scope 3 can feel slow compared to reducing one's own emissions. However, the overall impact of all the supplier engagement, the invitations for collaboration, and the expectations set by clients and suppliers everywhere is huge.   We also heard about companies embedding sustainability in product design, discussing sustainability solutions with competitors, and making leaps in greening subcontractors and suppliers globally. And more companies are joining! Thank you, ECV International, for organising the event. And if you want to discuss how to make gains on your Scope 3 targets, get in touch: https://lnkd.in/dC4FvkBc

We predicted new reporting rules, focus on #Scope3, and growth in #renewableenergy markets would mark 2024 for corporate #sustainability. Almost 12 months on, this is how our predictions stand.
