We support organisations in the purchase/sale, management and optimisation of renewable energy certificates, integrating GdOs for electricity, biomethane and IRECs as part of a strategy aligned with their sustainability, traceability and energy positioning objectives.

Guarantees of Origin and other energy attribute certificates (EACs) have become a key tool for verifying the renewable origin of energy and strengthening sustainability and decarbonisation strategies. For many organisations, it is no longer simply a matter of purchasing certificates, but of doing so judiciously, with a clear understanding of the market, the regulatory context and the impact these decisions have on their positioning and energy objectives.

At Global Factor, we help organisations navigate this environment with a practical and specialised approach. We support both buyers and market participants interested in optimising, planning or structuring their certificate strategy, combining market knowledge, regulatory monitoring and operational support throughout the process.

Our approach links traceability, planning and operations, so that each organisation can manage its energy attribute certificates with greater clarity, greater certainty and a more coherent view of its needs.

We support organisations in the management of Guarantees of Origin for renewable electricity, helping them to define the best strategy for acquiring, monitoring and using these certificates. We work on:

• Carrying out purchase and sale transactions
• Knowledge of the domestic and international markets
• Structure for operating within the various national registries
• Daily monitoring of market developments
• Comprehensive support with procedures relating to Guarantees of Origin
• Support with delivery and cancellation processes compatible with the various climate neutrality standards and industry subsidy schemes
• Advice on minimising costs and maximising revenue
• Defining short- and long-term plans

GOs enable organisations to certify the renewable origin of their electricity and ensure the traceability of their energy strategy. That is why we focus not only on operational aspects, but also on the logic behind planning and decision-making

We support organisations wishing to incorporate Guarantees of Origin for renewable gas into their energy and sustainability strategy. We carry out purchase and sale transactions, supporting both project developers and gas consumers, and structuring short-, medium- and long-term transactions. We work on:

• Support with the management of certificates relating to renewable gas
• Market analysis and market dynamics
• National and international regulatory analysis
• Advice on the purchase and sale of assets
• Support with traceability, delivery and cancellation processes
• Defining strategies tailored to consumption or utilisation needs
• Integrating biomethane into a broader energy roadmap

We view biomethane as a key driver for organisations seeking to advance energy decarbonisation through certified, traceable solutions that are aligned with new market demands.

We support organisations operating outside Europe or with international requirements in the management of IRECs as a tool for certifying the renewable origin of energy. We work on:

• Access to international markets for renewable certificates
• Support with buying and selling transactions
• Monitoring of market conditions and the availability of local assets
• Support with administrative and documentation management
• Advice on selecting certificates according to need and geographical context
• Integration of IRECs into the organisation’s energy and sustainability strategy

IRECs enable the traceability of renewable energy consumption to be extended to international markets and bring consistency to corporate strategies with a global presence.

• Companies with renewable electricity consumption targets
• Organisations that need to verify the renewable origin of their energy
• Companies with an international presence and traceability requirements in different markets
• Entities interested in renewable electricity or renewable gas certificates
• Organisations wishing to streamline their strategy for purchasing energy attributes
• Companies seeking to integrate energy certificates into their sustainability and energy roadmap
