Why Granular Matters

Today’s sustainability leaders need more than annual RECs to meet their carbon goals. Traditional REC markets don’t account for when or where clean energy is generated.

 

The result? Missed opportunities for emissions reductions and compliance risk in Scope 2 reporting.

​

At Clean Incentive, we built the Granular Marketplace to solve this—offering real-time, impact-aligned procurement that empowers companies to match energy consumption with carbon-free energy hour by hour.

We'll lead the way

  • How does the Granular Marketplace help my sustainability goals?
    The Granular Marketplace is an integrated marketplace and analytics platform designed to simplify procurement, optimize carbon impact, and facilitate accurate Scope 2 reporting. It uses AI-driven recommendations to match your hourly energy consumption with the most impactful and cost-effective GCs available.
  • Can I integrate my existing energy data into the marketplace?
    Yes, our Impact Management Tools allow seamless integration of your power consumption data, whether through direct API integration with energy meters, utility providers, or simple CSV file uploads. This enables automated, real-time Scope 2 emissions tracking and hourly matching analysis.
  • How does the AI-driven sourcing agent work?
    Our AI-driven sourcing agent analyzes GC availability, market conditions, and your hourly consumption profile to recommend optimal procurement strategies. It automates the identification of the most impactful and cost-effective GCs, assists in bid pricing, and simplifies procurement transactions.
  • Are GCs available globally or restricted to certain regions?
    Our marketplace connects buyers to GCs from a wide range of renewable energy projects globally, and integrates seamlessly with international REC registries. This ensures a broad availability of GCs suitable for multinational companies and diverse sustainability strategies.
  • What procurement options are available through the Granular Marketplace?
    Buyers can procure GCs through real-time auctions, direct contracts, or automated matching using our AI sourcing agent. The platform offers flexibility to accommodate diverse corporate procurement strategies and sustainability targets.
  • How can I get started with purchasing GCs?
    Simply register on the Granular Impact Exchange, choose a subscription plan aligned with your business needs, and upload or integrate your hourly energy consumption data. Our AI sourcing agent will then assist you in optimizing your procurement from day one.
  • Is my transaction and ownership of GCs transparent and auditable?
    Yes, every transaction within the Granular Marketplace is recorded on a blockchain-backed ledger, ensuring full transparency, traceability, and compliance with reporting standards. All ownership claims are verifiable and immutable.
  • How does this marketplace support my annual sustainability reporting?
    The platform automatically generates comprehensive annual impact reports, including proof-of-impact documentation that clearly demonstrates your hourly renewable energy matching, avoided emissions, and overall progress toward sustainability goals. This documentation meets standards for ESG disclosures, SEC filings, and CDP reporting.
  • Are there any fees associated with buying GCs on this marketplace?
    Yes, the marketplace charges a transaction fee based on the value of purchased GCs. Fees vary depending on your subscription plan (Base, Pro, Enterprise), which also includes varying levels of support, procurement automation, and impact management tools.
  • How is the carbon impact of each GC determined?
    The carbon impact of a GC is calculated based on hourly Marginal Emissions Rates (MERs), reflecting the amount of fossil-fuel-based emissions displaced by renewable energy generation. This provides a clear, quantifiable measure of real-world decarbonization impact.
  • What is a Granular Certificate (GC)?
    A Granular Certificate (GC) is a type of renewable energy certificate enhanced with timestamped generation data and carbon impact metrics. Unlike traditional RECs, GCs allow for precise hourly matching of your electricity consumption with renewable generation, aligning closely with corporate 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) goals.
  • How are GCs different from traditional RECs?
    Traditional RECs track renewable energy generation on an annual or monthly basis, lacking the precision for hourly matching. GCs, however, include detailed hourly generation data and carbon impact metrics, enabling precise hourly matching of renewable energy production with corporate consumption patterns.
  • Why should my company purchase GCs instead of standard RECs?
    GCs enable your company to achieve more accurate and impactful decarbonization by aligning renewable energy procurement directly with your hourly electricity use. This ensures that your sustainability claims are robust, verifiable, and aligned with evolving industry standards, such as those promoted by the GC Alliance and EmissionsFirst Partnership.
  • Can I convert my existing traditional RECs into GCs?
    Yes. The Granular Registry integrates seamlessly with existing REC registries, enabling you to convert active or retired traditional RECs into timestamped, carbon-impact-tagged GCs, unlocking greater market value.
