It began with carbon removal (Microsoft establishing a dominant position in the market for CDR credits), followed more recently by superpollutant mitigation (carbon credits for capping orphaned oil and gas wells), and now low-carbon commodities (using environmental attribute certificates, or EACs to catalyse supply chain decarbonisation). In mid-September Google announced that it had struck an agreement with Stegra to purchase EACs connected to its near-zero emission steel plant, currently under construction in Boden, Sweden. The deal should provide much needed funding for the nascent green steel developer, while enabling Google to claim that it has reduced the embodied emissions of its new data centres. To recap, EACs separate the specific environmental attributes of a green commodity from the underlying physical product. Based on a “book and claim” chain of custody market mechanism, EACs enable suppliers of low-carbon suppliers to “book” the environmental attributes of a good they have produced (power generated via renewables, emission savings, etc), and for users to “claim” those same attributes (see _Book and claim -_ part 1_and_ part 2). Importantly, the trade can happen even if there is no actual physical exchange between buyer and seller. By decoupling the environmental attributes from the underlying physical commodity, the buyer of the EAC can be located far from the physical source of supply. For green steel that's especially important since there are only a few places in the world where the right combination of natural resources and cheap, low-carbon energy add up. ### This post is for subscribers only Become a member to get access to all content Subscribe now

Circular plastics cleantech startup MacroCycle Technologies and tech giant Meta announced a multi-year agreement under which Meta will purchase environmental attribute certificates (EACs) from plastic recycling, enabling the social media giant to target emissions from the plastics in its supply chain, and helping MacroCycle to fast-track the development of its first U.S. PET recycling and production plant. Launched in 2023 by CEO Stwart Peña Feliz and CTO Jan-Georg Rosenboom, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based MacroCycle uses chemistry and selective non-toxic reagents to return plastic waste that would have otherwise ended up in landfills into its previous high-quality, virgin-grade, form, making it feasible to use in new products. The company’s “SolvoGenesis” process which dissolves, purifies, and upcycles PET from mixed and contaminated plastic waste that conventional mechanical recycling cannot handle, provides a simpler recycling method that requires 80% less energy than fossil-based PET production, and 50-75% lower capital expenditure than competing chemical or biologic recycling methods, creating a low-energy and low-cost solution to “upcycle” plastic waste for re-use. Stwart Pena Feliz, Co-Founder & CEO of MacroCycle Technologies, said: “Most recycling forces a trade-off: mechanical processes are cheap but degrade the material with every cycle and struggle with complex waste streams. Chemical processes that break...

The tech giant is working with the company to help it develop its first factory. The business says its process uses 80 percent less energy than traditional methods.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, CleanCounts, the nonprofit energy attribute tracking system, announced forthcoming features in its registry platform including hourly tracking/granular certificates and additional enhancements that distinguish renewable energy projects and contribute to more local benefits. The capability to provide enhanced Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), including renewable energy certificates (RECs), serves growing interest from the voluntary corporate procurement market for projects that provide benefits beyond energy generation. “Since we rebuilt our software from scratch in 2017, we have demonstrated how to be a trusted pioneer and drive innovations that enable more advanced claims with regard to clean and renewable energy use,” said Benjamin Gerber, President and CEO of CleanCounts. “CleanCounts spearheaded the very first hourly REC in 2021, the first green hydrogen certificate in 2022, and the first pollinator-friendly solar REC in 2023, and it's through our platform that we continue to provide the precision and transparency needed for both voluntary and compliance claims of renewable energy output.” As the largest clean energy registry in North America, CleanCounts provides the registry infrastructure used by utilities, renewable energy generators, and corporate buyers for RECs, along with their generation and retirement. The platform helps ensure renewable energy generation...

Google has reached an agreement with Stegra to purchase environmental attribute certificates (EACs) associated with steel production at the company’s facility in Boden, Sweden. The agreement will initially cover up to 91,000 tonnes of steel production in the first year, with volumes expected to increase over the course of the agreement. Google and Stegra have … The post Google and Stegra sign agreement for low-emission steel first appeared on EUROMETAL.
