Renewable Energy Certificates guarantee that a certain amount of clean wind and solar electricity will be generated onto the power grid, displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Since we measure the location and fuel makeup of your users and servers, we are able to purchase an equal amount of renewable energy to offset the non-renewable component of your energy footprint. The more renewable energy we support, the less non-renewable energy will be required in the future. http://www.co2stats.com/faq.php http://www.co2stats.com/faq.php I'm still a bit unclear on whose behalf they are buying energy.
