"Green" Electricity : A useful tool for businesses?
As part of their climate strategy, many companies purchase renewable-origin guarantees that allow them to claim "green" electricity consumption.
In this study, we will attempt to answer the following two questions:
- What are the effective links between guarantees of origin and the development of renewable electricity in France and in Europe?
- How to understand the place of these guarantees of origin and other mechanisms existing in the strategies of reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases for a company?
