Understanding Corporate PPAs Amid GHG Protocol Revisions

As companies strive to reduce Scope 2 emissions, the need for effective renewable energy purchases has never been more pressing. The increasing complexity of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) can leave many organizations uncertain about which type suits them best. On July 8, 2026, Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. will host an insightful online seminar titled "Strategies for Corporate PPA: How to Proceed? Comparisons and Usage of Virtual PPAs and Environmental Value Certificates" to address these concerns.

Corporate PPAs have gained attention as they encourage investments in new renewable energy facilities, which is vital for achieving decarbonization goals across supply chains. However, with the ongoing discussions around the GHG Protocol revisions—especially regarding Scope 2 emissions—the necessity of understanding corporate PPA options becomes crucial. New topics like hourly matching (the alignment of supply and demand on an hourly basis) could significantly alter how companies approach energy procurement.

During this seminar, participants will learn about the fundamentals of various PPAs and explore the increasing reliance on non-fossil certificates and green electricity certificates. Yachiyo Engineering, as a certificate issuance company, will provide a unique perspective on these subjects, offering timely and relevant insights into the evolving renewable energy market.

The session aims to equip companies with practical knowledge on building a renewable energy procurement portfolio. Attendees will leave with valuable comparison criteria and methods for assessing risks directly applicable in internal discussions, making it an invaluable resource for environmental managers and executives seeking strategies tailored to their firms' needs.

Target Audience

This seminar is particularly suited for professionals facing the following challenges:

• - Companies looking to compare and organize their renewable energy procurement strategies for reducing Scope 2 emissions.
• - Individuals wanting to understand the differences and appropriate applications of PPAs and environmental value certificates.
• - Professionals interested in implementing PPAs but facing obstacles related to long-term contract risks and internal approval processes.
• - Organizations already considering renewable energy procurement but unsure of the optimal combination or portfolio strategy.
