Many corporations are now seeking to connect and integrate specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their energy procurement decisions. They are rethinking what makes a project the “best” project to account for avoided emissions\, social & environment justice\, supply chain sourcing\, and local impact. Additionally\, most off-takers to date have tackled scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity and heat) via PPAs/ VPPAs. Yet scope 3 emissions (generated by suppliers and customers) constitute the largest source of corporate’s emissions\, which will be their next challenge to tackle.
