Singapore seeks experts to work on global framework for cross-border renewable energy certificates
The government has launched a tender, closing 24 March, for a seven-month long study to develop a new framework for cross-border REC transactions. It will seek endorsement from RE100, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and other global bodies.
