Low-Carbon Energy Registry
The Low-Carbon Energy Registry (RNE) project is a Russian voluntary certification system that makes it possible to certify and confirm generation and consumption of low-carbon/renewable energy. The system has been established for the purpose of promoting sustainable development and a transition to low-carbon/renewable energy in Russia. The Voluntary Certification System develops and sets standards for certification of low-carbon and renewable energy, including criteria for accounting for and reporting of generation of energy that can be recognized as identifiable and verifiable. We enable low-carbon/renewable energy generators to issue green certificates through a registry that acts as a guarantee of the quality and soundness of clean energy produced.

The system has been in commercial operation since September 2023
Currently, Low-Carbon Energy Registry works only in Russia (83 regions), but in the future it is planned to enter the international market
Our project promotes the development of the renewable energy market, encourages investment in the industry, and stimulates reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a sustainable energy future for Russia. The product created by SBERBANK actually provides import substitution for the Western low-carbon energy certification system that has left the Russian market. The developed IT solution includes the best practices for the creation and operation of such systems on the global market (i-REC, TIGR), while Sberbank's product was created at a fundamentally different technological level and provides a fully digital way of interacting with customers in terms of energy source certification, issuance, transfer and repayment of green certificates. The service's customers have received a convenient and intuitive tool that is suitable for both professional participants in the energy market (renewable energy generators) and companies that use this service to promote a policy of responsible attitude to the environment. The service is adapted to work through a WEB browser on a computer, as well as using mobile devices (smartphones/tablets), has Russian and English versions. To receive any consultations, the service provides a form of interaction with the system operator, in addition, a separate scenario has been implemented for the user to independently select green certificates for purchase, when he can interact directly with the current certificate holder and negotiate with him on the terms of purchase. To improve the client's path, the authorization of legal entities in the certification system for "Sberbank ID" has been implemented. This mechanism ensures the reliability of customer registration data, as each legal entity using the "Sberbank ID" is thoroughly checked by the bank. The use of the "Sberbank ID" significantly simplifies and reduces the time required to register business clients in the system. In addition, the service allows you to pay for the services of the system online using the tools of Sberbank Businesspayments. The project was implemented in the Agile methodology, which allowed it to be completed in the shortest possible time, as well as flexibly manage the development, testing and implementation process.
