Decarbonising the economy takes joint efforts
Sustainability Rewards
Did you know that you can be rewarded for a sustainable lifestyle?
Earn your sREC
1 sREC = 1 MWh = 1tCO2e.
Each megawatt of energy or ton of carbon mitigated a is given a tradable energy attribute certificate that attests to how and where it was produced.
Seller benefits
As a green energy producer or climate community member, you understand the benefits of switching to modern, clean energy and sustainable lifestyles, so we provide climate incentives for the carbon offsets created. As such, as a seller you are sitting on a commodity that can earn you a little extra cash in the bank or business.
Buyer benefits
Sustainable lifestyles and renewable energy sources play a vital role in reducing nature and biodiversity loss. Buy carbon offsets depending on your budget, the project lifecycle stage and what net zero lifestyle you wish us to invest into.
About Carbon Trading
Solar Rais Energy Certificates (sRECS) are performance-based climate incentives that allow you to earn additional income from solar, wind, hydro electricity and fossil fuel reducing decarbonisation activities.
Since days of oil, energy attribute certificates have traded alongside each barrel and sold separately. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Verified Emissions Reductions are the legal instruments used in commodity markets to account for energy and nature attributes.
The owner of a REC has exclusive rights to the attributes of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity or one tCO2e of Greenhouse Gases and may make unique claims associated with sustainable impacts that generated the créditos de carbono (e.g. reducing the nature impact and footprint associated with the product or service).
About decarbonising the grid
The idea of carbon neutrality has been growing in importance since the turn of the century. In 2006, The New Oxford American Dictionary announced ‘Carbon Neutral’ as its Phrase of the Year. And following the Paris Agreement, signed in 2016, carbon neutrality has become an ever-more pressing concern for governments and companies across the globe.
A “carbon credit” is a unit that represents one tonne of carbon dioxide (or its equivalent) that has been permanently reduced from the atmosphere. A carbon credit is “retired” when it is purchased for carbon offsetting purposes and subsequently cancelled or “retired” on the Gold Standard, COAS, CDM or other approved Registry. This means that the carbon credit that represents energy produced in that month can no longer be bought or sold in the future.
At TFT we have a well-established method, which will support you at every step of the journey towards achieving your sustainability goals. This method is based on our partnership with one of the oldest carbon credit trading desks globally and our past work with the United Nations directly in SDG related investment.
We can draft your project outline and create your virtual asset database of sRECS that will be traded. This involves virtual asset creation and monitoring of the plant availability monthly. The reporting frameworks we follow are UN SDG, ICMA and PCAF aligned.
We can act as an owners engineer, guiding the technical validation of a project as step 1 for a certificate issuance on a global market, or generally supporting as the contact point during registration on a global energy or commodity marketplace.
Where do you trade
Get listed on the London Stock Exchange via our affiliate Solar Rais, registered in London for an additional fee.
We provide clients with a variety of options within the Voluntary and Involuntary Markets. Both Markets are legitimate and these are the markets of the future and where future value will be traded in cyber space.
There are two markets for carbon offset certificates: compliance and voluntary. The compliance market (EU-ETS in Europe or COAS in South Africa) assists governments in meeting greenhouse gas limits, under the terms of the Kyoto Protocol. The voluntary market allows businesses, NGOs, and even individuals to trade their emissions and join a Just Transition.
