RECs do not have the same climate benefit as offsets – as there is no requirement for them to be additional. And RECs can be sold in areas where the emissions from the generation of electricity are already low, such as regions that primarily use hydroelectric power. If you want the benefits of RECs and offsets combined, talk to us to help you determine the quantities of each of these products that would need to be purchased, in order to decrease your net emissions from electricity use and other sources of emissions to zero.
