How Molecule Handles Renewable Certificates

Track, allocate, and retire renewable energy certificates — all in one system, built for scale and audit-readiness.

Renewable certificates add layers of complexity to already busy trading desks. Teams juggle spreadsheets, registries, and internal systems just to get a clear view of their position, let alone retire credits accurately or report with confidence.

Energy companies trading renewable instruments — from Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to EUAs, RGGIs, and carbon offsets — rely on Molecule to manage the entire lifecycle of renewable energy and certificate-based trading.

  • Capture and manage renewable certificates
  • Track obligations and forecasted positions
  • Automate allocation, valuation, and retirement
  • Stay compliant with registry and regulatory nuances

Hive: Designed for the Complexity of Renewables

Managing renewable instruments isn’t just adding a new asset class — it’s an entirely different logic system. Timelines shift. Eligibility rules vary. Registries each have their own quirks. And what works for commodities like power or gas doesn't translate to RECs or offsets.

That’s why we built Hive, Molecule’s dedicated renewables module.

With Hive, you can:

  • Track renewable credits by serial number, type, class, vintage, and expiration
  • Define obligations and automatically match them to available inventory
  • Generate and export retirement instructions to registries (connector types vary)
  • Manage certificates in bulk — or down to the serial number level, when needed

With Hive, your renewables data scales with your portfolio — right alongside power, gas, and everything else you trade.

The Molecule Difference

Before Molecule
Tracking certificate inventories across Excel tabs, shared drives, and registry exports
Manual, time-intensive matching of certificates to obligations — often with no clear way to test scenarios or ensure the best outcome
Production forecasts live in separate systems from trading data — only brought together manually once a month (if at all)
Minimal audit trail—no way to trace how credits were allocated, valued, or retired
Frustration over formatting differences between registries and internal systems
With Molecule
Unified inventory with real-time positions for RECs, GOs, EUAs, and offsets
Automated allocation engine quickly recommends matches based on expiry, cost, and eligibility — with easy reconfiguration and scenario re-runs
All production, trading, and certificate data live in one system — always up to date, always connected
Full lifecycle traceability: who matched what, when, and why—down to the serial number
Molecule generates registry-specific retirement instructions with the right format every time
