Claims need records
If a claim can’t be traced to inputs, method, and ownership, it isn’t ready for audit — or a board.
About Clean Incentive
The registry for verifiable clean energy.
Clean Incentive builds registry infrastructure and advisory for organizations that need clean-energy claims specific enough to withstand scrutiny — from supplier-level standard supply to the hour.
Why we exist
Averages are no longer enough.
Corporate buyers, utilities, and developers are under pressure to prove clean-energy claims with higher resolution — supplier, location, and time. Most tools still ship annual averages and marketing language. We build the records layer underneath.
Specificity beats averages
Supplier-specific supply and hourly matching close the gaps annual RECs leave open on a modern grid.
Sequence matters
Advisory → standard-supply claims → hourly precision. Buy the residual gap last, not first.
What we build
Three offerings. One registry authority.
Primary product
SSS Resource Registry
Managed standard-supply Scope 2 claims — pro-rata allocation of utility carbon-free energy with third-party verification and audit-ready outputs.
Infrastructure
Granular Registry
Open hourly Granular Certificate infrastructure for 24/7 carbon-free matching, impact accounting, and storage attributes — built on EnergyTag standards.
Services
Advisory
Strategy for large loads preparing for the coming (proposed) GHG Protocol Scope 2 changes — and optimizing procurement spend against carbon-free goals.
How we work
What we believe about trust
- Trust is operational — verification trails and QA steps are product features, not afterthoughts.
- No double-counting — exclusive ownership and clear residual treatment are non-negotiable.
- Open where it helps — Granular is built as open registry infrastructure; SSS is a managed claim service on top of real utility data.
- Integrity over hype — we publish what we can defend. Unverified case numbers and vaporware pillars stay off the site.
On the record
Credibility you can check
The first-ever spot transaction of hourly Granular Certificates settled on our registry with Hannon Armstrong (HASI). That’s a registry record — not a brochure claim.
