Global renewable energy certificates market: Increased focus on green energy electricity production to drive demand

The global market for renewable energy certificates (REC) is likely to witness a robust rise in the coming years, states a report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). The study is titled, “Renewable Energy Certificates Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 – 2023.” It states that the demand for renewable energy certificates is expected to increase owing to global warming issues related to the burning of fossil fuels. These certificates are used in international trade for pushing the development of the renewable energy sector. The production cost of renewable or green energy is more and renewable energy certificates provide an additional income to energy providers, thus driving their demand.

With an aim to create a market for renewable energy, RECs promote the progress of renewable energy sources. According to the study, for every unit of electricity generated, there is an equivalent number of RECs generated, which can be sold as a tradeable commodity in the international markets. The purchase of renewable certificates counterbalances the generation of conventional energy and the buyer receives a separate electricity bill for the utility. Various tax benefits and allowances are provided for renewable energy-based power generation and this is encouraging the growth of the market. RECs help in replacing fossil-fuel-based power generation in areas where renewable electricity generators are located. On the other hand, many environmental organizations claim that there are no ecological benefits by the certification method being used at present. This is expected to hamper the growth of the market in the coming years.

Developing economies in Africa and Asia have high requirements for electricity owing to the growing population and a surge in industrialization. Additionally, an increase in infrastructure development activities in Asia has fueled power requirements. These certificates can be used to minimize the supply, demand gap through the use of green energy sources. In Asia, China is leading in the renewable energy investments. The U.K. and Denmark are leading in terms of investments in renewable energy in Europe, and in North America, the U.S. is the leader. Countries such as Ireland and Scotland are expected to emerge as lucrative markets for RECs owing to their increased focus in reducing carbon footprints and green energy electricity production.

The report categorizes the renewable energy certificates market on the basis of type of renewable energy produced such as biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric energy. The study also profiles key players operating in the market such as Carbon Solutions Group, Bonneville Environmental Foundation, Sky Energy, Inc., GP Renewables & Trading LLC, 3Degrees, NuPath Energy, Renewable Choice Energy, and Mass Energy Consumers Alliance.

PV provides access to energy, promote global energy evolution

With the Paris Agreement coming into effect on November 4 this year, developing low-carbon and clean energy has become a global acknowledgement. The Beijing Bulletin released during the past G20 Energy Ministers Meeting encouraged its member states to lay out plans for renewable energy development strategies and a project schedule, so as to achieve the goal of significantly increasing the percentage of renewable energy in global energy structure.
Renewable energy is facing an unprecedented development opportunity, while the revolution of global energy utilizing methods is pacing up.
At the G20 Energy Ministers Meeting, Yu Yong, president of Zonergy, put forward the method and advocation to provide the world with access to energy through PV power generation, which gained heated attention from various parties. Using the adaptability of PV power generation, Zonergy can effectively handle electrical problems in the remote Chinese western areas through intensive construction of PV power stations and household PV power generation. Zonergy has already successfully provided 500 thousand no-electricity populations with electricity, making a great contribution to the comprehensive elimination of no-electricity in China.
Yu Yong, president of Zonergy, said, "Zonergy is proactively expanding the development of clean energy across the world in order for everyone to enjoy sustainable and clean energy." Pakistan is facing a severe electricity crisis, with a daily shortage of electricity of 3000-5000 megawatts. Severe energy shortage is becoming the bottleneck of economic development of Pakistan and is in desperate need of solving. In April 2015, a 900-megawatt PV above-ground power station sponsored by Zonergy declared its ground breaking. This project is backed by a total investment amount of 1.5 billion dollars, with annual electricity providing capacity of 1.3 billion kilowatt hours. It will be able to provide over 500 thousand families with electricity. This project is the biggest monomer solar power project around the globe, as well as the largest investment of Chinese enterprise into an overseas PV project. Currently, the first phase of the project which boasts a capacity of 300 megawatts, has been completed and combined to the grid.
Zonergy thinks highly of technological innovation, and is cooperating with American science and research institutes, foundations and enterprises with respect to renewable energy, modern agriculture, high-tech R&D and so on. The results of cooperation will benefit both China and the US. The main shareholder of Zonergy, ZTE, entered the US market in 1998 and has become the fourth best-selling mobile phone brand in the US.
