Required documentation for EACs purchased by a supplier

Some EACs may be procured by suppliers and “packaged” with the service they provide to the certifying entity. Examples include SAF credits for green shipping, ZETA credits for low-carbon trucking, and RECs purchased by a supplier for lower-carbon manufacturing.

EACs purchased by a supplier should be documented with:

Type	Format	Required Information
Proof of purchase	Payment receipt or purchase contract	- Date paid, quantity, and amount per unit - Purchase contracts must indicate that the supplier has completed the purchase of all EACs. Installment purchases are not allowed.
Proof of retirement -OR- enrollment	Retirement certificate or purchase contract	- Must demonstrate all EACs retired on behalf of the certifying entity or proof of enrollment in EAC-based program or service (such as SAF-based, low-carbon shipping service through a shipping provider)

See this page for more information on counting EACs towards the GHG inventory and/or the CTB.
