SSE Green Gas

Choosing renewable gas can help you demonstrate your company’s renewable credentials and show your positive commitment to sustainable values. A choice that’s good for the planet and good for your business.

Why SSE Green Gas?

• Reduce your carbon footprint and hit your emissions targets.
• Stand out from competitors and showcase your sustainable values.
• Show your commitment to sustainability with SSE Green Gas certificate and logo.
• Combine with SSE Green Electricity to further boost your green credentials.

What’s renewable gas?

Renewable gas is produced from sources like agricultural materials, food waste and wastewater. And using it results in lower greenhouse gas emissions than the gas derived from the fossil fuels it replaces.

But we recognise that using 100% renewable gas may not suit all business budgets, so we offer a choice of products:

SSE Green Gas is 25% certified renewable gas and 75% carbon-neutral gas backed by carbon offsets, a more affordable option.

SSE Green Gas Plus is simply 100% certified renewable gas, our premium product for more ambitious environmental targets.

Certified renewable gas

All the renewable gas we buy is backed by Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs) or Biomethane Certificates (BMCs).

A green gas certificate is issued for every 1kWh of renewable gas produced and injected into the grid by accredited sites. So you can be sure it’s genuinely renewable and is helping to cut carbon.

Carbon offsets and carbon-neutral gas

Another way to reduce carbon is by using carbon offsets. Carbon offset projects allow you to compensate for your emissions by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2) saving elsewhere.

By helping to pay to reduce CO2 in other parts of the world, you balance out, or offset, the CO2 your business is calculated to produce from the natural gas you buy – that means your gas is carbon-neutral.

What gas will I get with SSE Green Gas products?

If you sign up for an SSE Green Gas product, you’ll continue to get your gas through the national grid as normal. The difference is that we’ll buy the equivalent amount of certified renewable gas or carbon offsets to match your consumption.

With SSE Green Gas, we’ll match 25% of your consumption to green gas certificates (RGGOs or BMCs). The remaining 75% of your supply will be backed by carbon offset projects around the world. To further reduce carbon at home, we also pledge to plant one tree per SSE Green Gas customer in the UK.

With SSE Green Gas Plus, we’ll match all your consumption to green gas certificates. You’ll also get additional verification from EcoAct, an Atos company, to make reporting your greenhouse gas emissions even easier.

Whichever you choose, SSE Green Gas products can help you cut carbon and make your business stand out from the crowd.

Show your commitment to sustainability

You’ll get a specially designed certificate and logo with SSE Green Gas. Display them at work or in business communications to show customers and stakeholders you’re serious about sustainability.

SSE Green Supply Chain

To help you scale up your carbon-reduction plans, our new green supply chain solution lets you take your suppliers and partners on the journey to net zero with you.

The innovative SSE Green Supply Chain passes on your 100% renewable SSE Green Electricity preferential rate to your supply chain. This helps them improve their sustainability, and contributes towards reducing your Scope 3 emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

The benefits

For large companies a substantial part of your emissions can come from your supply chain – or Scope 3 emissions.

Leveraging your size, you can now help your suppliers and partners by giving them access to our SSE Green Electricity at the same preferential rate as you enjoy – making low-carbon renewable energy accessible to all and reducing your Scope 3 emissions.

Your supply chain will benefit from the same traceable, green energy as you – certified 100% renewable electricity generated by SSE’s own wind and hydro assets. It’s backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) and independently verified by EcoAct, an Atos company and CDP accredited provider.

Achieving Scope 3 targets

Your supply chain emissions, part of the Scope 3 category, can feel hard to manage as they’re beyond your direct control. With SSE Green Supply Chain, you can reduce your Scope 3 emissions and show your shareholders and investors you’re leading the way to a net zero future.

SSE’s own carbon reduction goals

When you choose to partner with SSE Business Energy, you’re working with a company who’s fully committed to creating a better world of energy for tomorrow.
