Webinaire Carbone 4 ⚡ EnergyTag ⚡Granular Energy ⚡ Pour des offres d'électricité verte qui contribuent réellement à décarboner le réseau électrique ? Une traçabilité de l’électricité au pas horaire, une opportunité pour la France. 🗓 Le 14 novembre ⏲ À 14h La garantie d’origine est un certificat attestant qu’une quantité d’électricité verte a été produite et injectée sur le réseau de l’Union européenne. Toutefois, ce système est basé sur un matching de ces certificats à un pas de temps mensuel. Autrement dit, il est possible d’associer une garantie d’origine à n’importe quelle consommation sur un même mois, sans s’assurer que production et consommation ont eu lieu au même moment ni au même endroit. Dès lors, en maximisant ces incohérences spatiales et temporelles, il est possible de construire des offres 100% vertes très facilement et sans nuances ; ce qui ne contribue pas à réellement décarboner le réseau électrique. Or, le matching entre production et consommation à un pas de temps plus fin (horaire ou infra-horaire) permettrait de profiter pleinement des avantages de ce système de traçabilité : rendre la comptabilité carbone plus réaliste ; regagner la confiance des consommateurs ; accélérer la décarbonation du système électrique. Les évolutions des règlementations européennes et des standards internationaux vont dans ce sens. La question n’est plus de savoir si le système devra passer à un pas de temps horaire, mais quand il y passera. EnergyTag, Granular Energy et Carbone 4 proposent quelques recommandations pour migrer progressivement vers un système rigoureux de garanties d’origine via une publication conjointe et son webinaire de présentation le 14 novembre. 📢 Intervenants : Bruno Menu, COO de Granular Energy, Killian Daly DG d’EnergyTag, Alexandre Joly, Responsable du pôle Energie de Carbone 4 Pour vous inscrire c'est ici 👇 https://lnkd.in/gmySb3hb Et pour (re)découvrir la dernière publication de la Net Zero Initiative sur le sujet c'est ici : https://lnkd.in/dWhZKesY

📢 New study: "Does the purchase of voluntary renewable energy certificates lead to emission reductions? A review of studies quantifying the impact" We review studies that use large-scale macro energy system models to assess the impact of the three pillars: 1) additionality proxy ➕, 2) deliverability ⚡, and 3) temporal matching ⏲️. We derive indicators 📊 that show the degree of #additionality of renewable energy generation 🌞 💨 and the impact on system emissions 🚭 compared to a counterfactual with no regulations ⚖️ . Includes #opensource studies with #openscience output data: 🍔 US H2 💧 Wilson Ricks et al. (2023): https://lnkd.in/d9X4SZeD 🍩 US RECs ⚡ Qingyu Xu et al. (2024): https://lnkd.in/d_yKbTf3 🥨 EU H2 💧 Elisabeth Zeyen et al. (2024): https://lnkd.in/dVc7Y3Fn 🥐 EU 24/7 ⚡ Iegor Riepin & Tom Brown (2024): https://lnkd.in/d6EQN3QV We also explain the differences between the studies and highlight potential pitfalls in designing such studies and interpreting their results. Key findings 🧐 : ▶️ Annual (volume and emissions) matching lead to negligible emission reductions relative to the unregulated counterfactual. 👎 😿 ▶️ Hourly volume matching using PPAs with recently built local renewable generators reduces system emissions. 💪 😻 ▶️ Ignoring modelling and policy assumptions (e.g. enforced additionality by Zeyen et al. 2024) can lead to misleading policy recommendations. 🖖🤓 💡 We hope these findings will inform the #RenewableHydrogen / #GreenHydrogen / #CleanHydrogen debate in the US and EU and the revision of the #GHGProtocol for #Scope2 #CarbonAccounting. 👨👨👧👦 Co-authors: Matthew Brander (University of Edinburgh Business School), Shannon L.
