Renewable energy consumption meter

AAK sources 100% renewable electricity for its operations in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. The source of this electricity is Norwegian hydropower.

 

 

 

 

The production of renewable electricity is certified by Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). These are the accepted legal instrument through which claims of renewable energy generation and consumption are substantiated in the global renewable energy market. There are different types of EAC for different regions of the world, and they are all in compliance with the quality criteria set by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in the latest Scope 2 guidance document.
