Also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and other names around the world, EACs support decarbonization compliance through global accounting and reporting, bolster renewable energy development and relieve pressure from shareholders. At World Kinect, our experts delve into the details of energy markets and solutions so that you can concentrate on your core business.

Each EAC represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of renewable energy generation.
