The document defines the technical requirements for electrical utilities to achieve certification, focusing on a transition pathway to net-zero emissions by 2040. It sets specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity thresholds (gCO2/kWh) for existing and new capacity, mandates the phase-out of unabated fossil fuel plants, and provides guidelines for low-carbon technologies such as CCS/CCUS, hydrogen co-firing, and bioenergy. It also includes requirements for climate adaptation and resilience risk assessments.

  • The criteria mandate the phase-out of unabated fossil fuel power plants: coal and oil plants must be phased out by 2030 in advanced economies and 2040 in emerging economies, while unabated fossil gas plants must be phased out by 2040 globally.
  • For existing low-carbon capacity, the GHG emission threshold is set at 100gCO2e/kWh for hydropower, geothermal, and bioenergy. For new capacity commissioned after the certification date, this threshold is tightened to 50gCO2e/kWh.
  • Use-of-proceeds (UoP) bonds for decarbonizing fossil fuel plants are eligible if they implement CCS/CCUS with a capture rate of at least 90% or achieve a 100% co-firing rate with low-carbon fuels from the start of operation until the bond's maturity.
