All our RECs and Carbon Offsets
come with something unique: a pedigree.
OneEnergy Renewables is the only retailer of RECs and carbon offsets that are 100% third-party tracked and verified. No tracking number, no sale.
We offer two simple, transparent solutions for companies that are looking to manage their environmental impact.
Which Product is Right for Your Business?
This really depends on what you are looking to offset. If you want to offset your purchased electricity use (that's electricity you purchase from your utility), you'll want to buy OneEnergy Renewables' RECs. Our RECs are sourced from U.S.-based wind projects, and all of our RECs are Green-e Energy Certified and tracked in a renewable energy tracking system.
If you are offsetting emissions such as heating, air travel, employee commuting, and product shipping, you'll want to buy OneEnergy Renewables' Carbon Offsets. Our Carbon Offsets are registered with the Climate Action Reserve and come from methane destruction projects. OneEnergy Renewables only purchases carbon offsets from projects located in the U.S.
OneEnergy Renewables encourages and helps our business clients to use the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas Protocol when developing your greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory.
A bit more about our RECs and Carbon Offsets
A renewable energy credit (REC) is created when one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity is fed into the power grid. A REC represents the positive environmental benefits associated with its generation. RECs have an economic value and can be bought and sold, which allows anyone in any part of the country, regardless of who they purchase their electricity from, to support clean, renewable energy. Businesses and individuals buy RECs to reduce their carbon footprint and connect with sustainability-minded customers. Learn more about RECs.
A carbon offset represents the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions equaling one metric ton of carbon dioxide. There are numerous greenhouse gas pollutants, and most are more potent than carbon dioxide. Methane, for instance, is about 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and some industrial gases are thousands of times more damaging. In order to account for all pollutants, the offset industry trades credits in units of one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent, or "CO2e."
The most common offset project types in the U.S. are landfill gas capture, livestock methane projects, and reforestation efforts. Learn more about carbon offsets.
