An I-REC Product Code for Electricity or the I-REC (E)s is an exchangeable Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) that conveys information about the energy attributes associated with the production of a MWh of electricity, such as where the electricity was produced, the capacity of the production facility, and the energy source. I-REC (E)s can be used for a variety of (voluntary) requirements including Scope 2 reporting, national energy reporting, and general end-user claims, while allowing all electricity consumers to make a conscious and evidence-based choice for electricity.

The use of I-REC (E)s is accepted by the relevant consumer claim standards including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, CDP, RE100, Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and others.

The Evident Registry is an independently operated registry, providing a global database and dashboard for issuing, transferring, and redeeming certificates. The Evident Registry provides a fully auditable chain-of-custody record to support uniquely verifiable claims of ownership by end-user consumers. The Evident Registry currently supports over 4,249 registered devices, certifying 200 TWh of electricity per year generated in over 48 countries around the world.

Code Managers are independent, accredited entities which develop product codes. Code Managers develop product codes that outline the specifications, rules and procedures of how product-level energy attributes are tracked and certified in adherence to the I-REC Attribute Tracking Standard. Avance Labs is the Code Manager of the I-REC (HX) product code for Hydrogen and Hydrogen Derivative Fuels and Products.
