JERA Cross has been featured by EnergyTag, an independent non-profit promoting the international standardization of 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy.

We are pleased to announce that JERA Cross’s initiatives have been featured by Energy Tag1, the international organization promoting the global standard for 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy2.

There is growing international interest in more rigorously managing the origin of renewable energy. This is evident in the current public consultation on proposed revisions to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)*3, which includes the suggestion to introduce "hourly matching"—a system that requires matching electricity consumption with generation on an hourly basis. In this context, JERA Cross’s efforts have been featured on the homepage of Energy Tag, an independent non-profit organization that promotes the standardization of 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy.

The featured case study showcases our efforts in "hourly matching" and tracking 24/7 carbon-free Energy, alongside examples from other leading international players. This recognition provides JERA Cross with a valuable opportunity to gain broader recognition for our commitment to energy decarbonization.
