From a meter to a claim in five steps.
Every certificate in CleanCounts follows the same path. Here is the whole lifecycle.
The certificate lifecycle, registry by registry.
The process a certificate takes is uniform across registries. Start by selecting your subscription type. Report your generation, and then transact your certificates. Best in class customer support at every stage of the process.
Subscribe
An organizations subscribes to create an account, passes an identity screening and verification, then registers its generators with their attributes documented and approved.
Report
Generation data arrives from qualified or independent reporting entities, from the generator, or through the API, and is validated under the Operating Procedures.
Issue
The registry issues serialized certificates carrying the generation's attributes: technology, location, time, and more.
Transact
Certificates are held, transferred, reserved, imported, or exported, and every movement is recorded against the certificate's unique serial number, to prevent double counting.
Retire
A certificate is retired to make a claim: once, permanently, in the official record.
Every step is governed by public Operating Procedures, and every certificate can be traced through all five steps. That is what makes a claim from CleanCounts worth standing behind.
