Østfoldforskning has made an active choice to source and consume 100% renewable electricity for all of its operations for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Additionally, for every MWh of renewable energy sourced by Østfoldforskning, 10 eurocents goes towards its supported project to eliminate energy poverty by installing renewable energy devices in remote areas with no electricity.

The electricity production is certified according to the international EECS (European Energy Certificate System) standard and documented by the issue of Guarantees of Origin (GO). The GO system is the main attribute tracking system in Europe and is in compliance with the quality criteria set by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in the latest Scope 2 guidance document.
