Renewable Energy Certificates – How Do They Support Growth in Renewables
26 October 2022, 14:00-15:30 Central European Summer time
Recording of the webinar: https://youtu.be/AecyyP90tc8
Renewable energy certificates and credits are playing an increasingly important role in the renewable energy sector, also in combination with emission allowances. The basic idea is that such certificates can contribute in the allocation of resources for investment in renewable energies. Certificate schemes are intended to mobile financial resources, in particular for developing countries. However, it has been questioned whether such certificate schemes actually contribute to the expansion of renewable energy capacities. Moreover, there is also a potential of fraud, due to the double use of such certificates.
Participants will present the status quo of the renewable energy markets across the globe and will also discuss alternative options such as location based renewable energy markets.
