A 'green' electricity contract, promising electricity from renewable sources, how does that work? And is it reliable? Who is responsible? Does a green contract do any good for climate and environment? All of these questions are answered in this brief presentation.
How does a green electricity contract work? - Corrected graphDirk Van Evercooren
How does a contract for green electricity (from renewable sources) work in Europe? Is it reliable? What is the role of the supplier? And of the electricity grid? You can find the answers here!
This is a general introduction to the organisation Association of Issuing Bodies and its work in the field of Guarantees of Origin (GOs). GOs are Energy Attribute Certificates, proof that 1 MWh of electricity was produced from renewable energy sources and allowing consumers to claim that electricity. The instrument of the GO makes green electricity contracts reliable and trustworthy. AIB has members in 21 countries.
Laura Plunkett from Irish AIB-member SEMO presented the work and achievements of the Association of Issuing Bodies to the WESC - Wind Energy Science Conference conference in June 2019. Her presentation covers the instrument of the Guarantee of Origin, the European legislative framework, the structure and work of AIB, the GO-market and the expected impact of the Clean Energy Package.

Five megatrends (5Ds) will bring about changes to the Japanese
power/energy business. These changes are inevitable and
irreversible. We call them the 5Ds and they are: Deregulation,
Decentralization, Decarbonization, Digitalization and Depopulation.
Depopulation is the trend that Japan will likely face earlier than the
rest of the world, while the other 4Ds are global megatrends.
CUSTOMER BUYING INTENTION TOWARDS ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN INDIAIAEME Publication
Electric vehicle is a new way of transportation having no air, noise pollution and
an environmental friendly way to commute. India being a major market for electric
vehicle and government plan to be an electric vehicle country by 2030 is a major
ambitious plan and to achieve this this study has been conducted to check the
acceptability of people towards electric vehicle and its effect on automobile industry.
In this study we tried to find the people opinion and their awareness about the electric
vehicle, reaction to some shortcomings of electric vehicle and will people accept it
wholeheartedly. Government of India launched FAME scheme to increase the
adoption of electric vehicle among masses.
Almost all the vehicle producer in the world have at least one electric vehicle in
their product portfolio and around the globe the acceptance of electric people is
rapidly growing. Several policies in favor of electric mobility has been rolled out and
its immediate effect are positive. However it’s an ambitious and long journey with a
comprehensive policy plan, it can be achieved. Policies need to be introduce to
discourage the further adoption of gasoline vehicle and new schemes need to be
implemented to aggravate the adoption of electric vehicle.
This study used 9 independent factors pertaining to characteristics of electric cars
and developed a regression model for determining the buying behavior of customer.
The analysis was done using R software. The study found that mobility and recharging
characteristics were found to be most significant factors while RTO norms was
considered to be the least significant characteristic affecting the buying decision of
electric cars. The model developed from our study was 88% accurate and hence can
be used for predicting the buying behavior of customer. This study is of prime
importance to the companies who wanted to launch electric cars in India.
Local authorities across the country are engaging in regeneration projects to support their local economies and generate revenue or capital receipts. The rules on state aid prohibit the use of public funds to distort competition by providing advantages to commercial entities. This can cause challenges where public bodies enter into joint ventures with the private sector, particularly when external public funding is used to support a project. We are regularly asked to ensure clients’ projects are state aid compliant and have developed solutions applicable to a wide range of project structures.
We recently ran a workshop attended by public and private sector regeneration experts and legal advisers and we share the most useful state aid solutions identified in this webinar.

Green energy sourcing is becoming more attractive to industrial consumers as carbon reduction strategies are implemented and levelized costs of electricity from renewables are declining. Options for green energy sourcing range from Self-Generation to Power Purchase Agreements and use of Guarantees of Origin, optionally bundled in green power products. Options differ in technologies and locations of the green energy projects, ownership and risk structures as well as prices. Various initiatives have developed quality requirements and recommendations for green energy sourcing. Based on these criteria a credibility assessment of the options is carried out and mapped against indicative price ranges.
The value of Guarantees of Origin: empowering consumers in the energy transitionLeonardo ENERGY
The Guarantee of Origin (GO) is a crucial instrument for the widening business strategy for clean power. The Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) has created and operates the European Energy Certificate System (EECS) to harmonise the functioning of the GO-systems. The AIB is a ‘not for profit’ membership organisation consisting of national GO issuing bodies. We have also established an electronic Hub for efficiently transferring GOs across the European market. The Hub enables full traceability and transparency and ensures in a cost-effective way, ensuring that there will never be double-selling or double-counting of renewable GOs within this system. There are now already 20 active AIB member countries – all of which are fully EECS compliant.

Guarantees of Origin webinar Leonardo Energy 13 November 2017Dirk Van Evercooren
This is the presentation I used in a webinar for Leonardo Energy on 13 November 2017. It's about how Guarantees of Origin work and how they make green energy contracts reliable. Corporate electricity consumers now adopt sustainability strategies, choosing only electricity from renewable sources. Some go further and engage in Renewable Power Purchasing Agreements. In both cases, Guarantees of Origin are instrumental.
Global Green Bond Trends and Recent Developments in the French MarketGRESB
Find a recap here from OID (in French, but the automatic Google Chrome translate does a decent job): https://storify.com/OrianeCebile/conference-oid-gresb.
January 2017 marked a significant step toward maturing green bond market when France issued 7 bn EUR sovereign green bond with a robust and forward-looking framework. This was a substantial contribution to overall issuance increase in 2016 to 82 bn USD. Last year saw the strong issuance of green bonds related to green buildings, accountable for around 20% of the market. This expanding financing market allows issuers, underwriters, investors and other market participants to cooperate in making positive environmental and social impact.
As French issuers represent market leadership, their contribution accounted for around 10% of issuances in 2016. Join us, GRESB Premier Partner OID, and GRESB Member AXA Investment Managers – Real Assets on 23 May in Paris to learn about green bonds in France, the latest iteration of the GRESB Green Bond Guidelines for the real estate sector with detailed analysis of recent developments, and hear from AXA Investment Managers and others about their experience with green bonds, sustainability, and market developments.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
20. Corporate sustainability strategies
Level 1: on site investment
No explaining to do, marketing is no-brainer
Need for financing, physical circumstances must be suitable, lot’s of
partnerships and/or responsibilities
Level 2: off site investment, e.g. Power Purchasing Agreement with a
newly built or to be built wind park
Need for finance but can be shared, lot’s of partnerships and/or
responsibilities, but how to prove you are using the power from the
wind turbines?
You need GOs!
Level 3: sourcing green electricity: you need GOs!
27. GOs are recognised as strategic instrument now
• On site: for claiming the green character of production (non-
tradable GOs)
• Off site PPA:
• Needed to ‘close’ the business model
• Trusted and understood by finance providers
• Green procurement:
• Understood by buyers,
• Reassured by the possibility of choice
• Many goals: CSR, Carbon footprinting, SBT,…
30. Reliable and transparent
AIB facilitates reliable transparency through standardisation:
- Where, How, When is the power produced?
AIB members commit to following a unique standard and consistent
methodologies
Peer reviews ensure credibility and reliability
Our goal:
a transparent market,
where empowered consumers
drive the energy transition

Editor's Notes
In a normal power system, electricity comes from many sources, so consumers don’t know where it comes from.
How do you prove the source of the energy to consumers?
We need a simple story!
It’s not about: “There are no green electrons” – we can forget about ‘the green grid, versus the grey grid’.
Slide 4:
How do we give power to the people with Gos? Well, the mission of Gos is to enable consumers to:
Choose the origin of their electricity freely and support the type of electricity production they prefer
Take responsibility over their impact on environment and be able to influence it. Each consumer should be responsible for the CO2 that is emitted in the production of electricity he/she is using and also be able to affect his/her emissions
To trust that electricity tracking works and leads to no double counting. In the end of the day a consumer should know that there is just as much renewable, nuclear and fossil energy consumed in Europe as it is produced.
Understand how to affect the environment with electricity purchase decisions. So not only to select the origin of electricity, but also know how to improve the environment with electricity purchase decisions.
