Use a simplified lease program for renewable energy
Cathay Life, a leading commercial real estate landlord in Taiwan, has launched a simplified lease program to facilitate renewable energy adoption among its tenants. By acting as the primary purchaser of renewable energy, Cathay Life streamlines the procurement process, reducing complexities and accelerating the transition to green energy. This initiative has led to a 6.6% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions between 2021 and 2022, cutting approximately 2,313 tons of carbon emissions.

Switch to solar energy with rooftop photovoltaics
Transitioning from coal- and gas-based electricity generation to photovoltaic systems, such as rooftop solar panels, can substantially reduce lifecycle emissions by approximately 95% per kilowatt-hour. This shift not only lowers greenhouse gas emissions but also promotes energy independence and can lead to long-term cost savings. Additionally, photovoltaic panels have a high recyclability rate, with nearly 96% of their materials being reusable, enhancing their environmental benefits.

Source renewable electricity with PPA
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are long-term contracts between companies and renewable energy producers, allowing businesses to procure electricity at predetermined prices without significant upfront investments. This approach not only stabilizes energy costs but also aligns with sustainability objectives by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Implementing PPAs can lead to substantial operational savings and contribute to global decarbonization efforts.

Build a strategic approach to renewable energy sourcing
Developing a strategic approach to renewable electricity sourcing is essential for companies aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and enhance energy resilience. The Climate Drive's guide outlines four primary sourcing options: unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), green retail contracts, corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and direct investments in on-site renewable installations. Implementing these strategies can lower energy costs, mitigate market volatility, and support sustainability goals.
