Adfert is I-REC Certified and Reinforces Its Commitment to Renewable Energy

4 min. de leitura

The pursuit of cleaner energy sources has been one of the pillars of industrial sustainability, and Adfert has taken another significant step in this direction. In 2024, the company received the I-REC (International Renewable Energy Certificate) certification, ensuring that 830 MWh of electricity used in its operations comes from renewable sources. This initiative not only reduces environmental impact but also reinforces Adfert’s commitment to sustainable practices within the fertilizer additives industry.

What is I-REC and How Does It Impact Industrial Sustainability?

The I-REC (International Renewable Energy Certificate) is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the renewable origin of the energy used by companies and industries. It is part of a standardized global system that allows electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and hydroelectric to be fully traceable.

This certification is essential for companies seeking to reduce their Scope 2 carbon emissions, according to the GHG Protocol, a widely used methodology for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, I-REC is one of the leading mechanisms adopted worldwide to facilitate the transition of industries toward a more sustainable energy model.

The Importance of I-REC for the Fertilizer Additives Industry

The industrial sector, particularly in the production of fertilizer additives, consumes large volumes of electricity in its manufacturing processes. Obtaining the I-REC certification means that this energy does not come from fossil fuels but rather from renewable alternatives, directly contributing to climate change mitigation and fostering a greener economy.

Beyond its positive environmental impact, using renewable energy certified by I-REC provides a competitive advantage. Companies that demonstrate concern for their emissions and adhere to recognized certifications tend to gain greater credibility in the market, particularly among partners and clients who prioritize suppliers committed to sustainable practices.

How Does I-REC Certification Impact the Fertilizer Market?

The I-REC certification has become a strategic differentiator for industries looking to align with global sustainability guidelines and meet regulatory and corporate requirements. In the fertilizer sector, where the demand for sustainable solutions continues to grow, companies that can verify their use of renewable energy gain relevance over competitors that still rely on traditional energy sources.

Additionally, the increasing emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards has accelerated the adoption of renewable energy in the industry. More and more, investors and business partners evaluate environmental criteria before establishing partnerships, and I-REC serves as a seal of approval for companies demonstrating sustainable best practices.

Adfert’s Commitment to Sustainability

By securing the certification of 830 MWh of renewable energy, Adfert reinforces its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions in its operations. This initiative aligns with the company’s mission to provide innovative solutions to the fertilizer market while preserving the environment and following global best practices in energy efficiency.

Beyond the immediate environmental benefits, this initiative strengthens Adfert’s position as a leading reference in the industry, demonstrating its responsibility in building a more sustainable future and encouraging other industries to follow the same path.

Conclusion: A Sustainable Future for Adfert and the Fertilizer Industry

The I-REC certification marks a significant milestone for both Adfert and the industrial sector as a whole. With the growing demand for sustainable solutions, transitioning to renewable energy is both a necessity and an opportunity for companies seeking to stand out in the market.

By adopting this certification, Adfert not only reduces its environmental impact but also leads by example, reinforcing its role in building a more efficient and responsible sector. This achievement reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, fundamental values for the future of the fertilizer additives industry.
