環保促進會最近購入由港燈推出的「可再生能源證書」,以可再生能源滿足100%電力需求,而這些可再生能源來自電力公司生產或購入的太陽能及風電等項目。
可再生能源證書計劃下,電力公司出售可再生能源證書,藉以把由可再生能源生產的電力出售;而透過購買可再生能源證書,買家可向外展示其營運或活動不會帶來碳排放。環保促進會透過購買「可再生能源證書」,以鼓勵更多有興趣的企業和市民認購,推動可再生能源的長遠發展。

Green Council Invests in Renewable Energy Credits
The Green Council (GC) is taking an important step towards achieving its goal to source renewable power for 100 percent of its electricity needs through the purchase of renewable energy certificate (REC) from the Hongkong Electric. These renewable energy resources are either generated or purchased by the power company, and include solar and wind power projects.
Under the REC Scheme, RECs are sold by the power companies for units of electricity from renewable energy sources such that buyers can claim their operation or activities are carbon-free. GC aims to encourage interested organisations and individuals in subscribing and promoting the long-term development of renewable energy.
