I-REC, or International Renewable Energy Certificate, is a market-based instrument that is used to track and verify the production and use of renewable energy. I-RECs serve as a proof that a certain amount of energy has been generated from renewable sources, and can be traded and sold in voluntary and compliance markets. The I-REC system is a global standard that ensures transparency, credibility, and reliability in the renewable energy market. It allows businesses, governments, and individuals to purchase and claim renewable energy use and meet their sustainability targets. Each i-REC is equivalent to 1,000 units of power i.e. 1,000 kWh or 1 MWh
In India, Domestic Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are a market-based instrument designed to promote
renewable energy generation within India and help obligated entities meet their renewable purchase
obligations (RPOs).
RECs were introduced to encourage renewable energy development and to provide flexibility for power
distribution companies (DISCOMs), large power consumers, and captive power producers to meet RPOs without
physically procuring renewable power. RECs are traded on power exchanges such as Indian Energy Exchange
(IEX) and Power Exchange India Limited (PXIL), where obligated entities buy RECs to meet their RPOs which
are set by State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs), but trading is national. After buying RECs,
the buyer “retires” them in the registry to claim compliance.
Carbon credits are permits that represent the right to emit a specific amount of greenhouse gases—most
often one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO₂) or its equivalent (CO₂e). They act as a financial tool to
reduce pollution and promote sustainable practices.
Each carbon credit equals the avoidance, reduction, or removal of 1 ton of CO₂e from the atmosphere.
Businesses and organizations can trade credits—those emitting less than their allowance can sell, while
those exceeding limits can buy credits to offset their emissions.
Carbon credits are generated by certified projects such as renewable energy, reforestation, methane
capture, and energy efficiency upgrades. Depending on market guidelines, they are traded in two main
systems: Compliance Markets (government-regulated) and Voluntary Markets (driven by corporate and
individual sustainability goals).
