Startup Story

Spritju shares how its AI- and blockchain-powered platform helps companies cut energy costs, boost transparency, and meet ESG targets.

 

 

What problem are you solving, and why is it critical for large energy consumers and utilities today?

Spritju is solving the challenge of transparent and efficient renewable energy procurement by providing a marketplace for Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). 

Today, large energy consumers and utilities face increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements, but the process of sourcing renewable energy remains fragmented, complex, and often lacks transparency. 

Our marketplace streamlines access to global EACs, allowing businesses to procure credible certificates faster, with full transparency and lower costs. And with features like 24/7 hourly matching and real-time data, Spritju supports smarter, future-ready procurement aligned with net-zero and ESG targets.

How does Spritju use blockchain and AI to enhance energy traceability and reduce greenwashing risks?

Currently, Spritju ensures transparency in energy procurement by working with national registries to retire EACs, which serves as a first level of verification. This process prevents double counting and manipulation, providing clear, verifiable proof for companies to support their sustainability claims.

We’re also exploring how blockchain could further enhance traceability. By creating tamper-proof records of energy transactions and ownership, blockchain will help reinforce the credibility of energy claims. Additionally, AI could play a role in automating certificate matching and flagging inconsistencies, reducing manual work and increasing accuracy.
 

What makes your hourly-based Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) better than traditional solutions?

Traditional EAC procurement can be slow, manual, and opaque. It often involves intermediaries, phone calls, and outdated forms. Spritju is helping to modernize that experience.

Our user-friendly marketplace makes it easy for businesses to buy and sell EACs online — with transparent pricing and real-time availability. Automation helps cut costs by up to 20% compared to manual brokers.

And we go beyond just making things easier — with 24/7 hourly matching, we help companies align their clean energy use with real-time grid conditions. This makes procurement more responsive, efficient, and future-ready, supporting real-time traceability and compliance with evolving regulations.

What kind of impact (financial, operational, or environmental) can your customers expect?

Our customers see value across three key areas:

Financial Impact:
By removing intermediaries and streamlining transactions, Spritju helps companies lower procurement costs — often by up to 20%. Automation also means better certificate selection and less time spent on manual tasks.

Operational Impact:
Sourcing renewable energy certificates can be complex and time-consuming. With Spritju, companies gain access to a centralized, user-friendly platform that simplifies the entire process — from procurement to reporting. This reduces administrative overhead and supports internal sustainability workflows.

Environmental Impact:
Easier access to credible renewable energy certificates means more companies can take real climate action. With 24/7 hourly matching and real-time traceability, we reduce greenwashing risks and support net-zero goals.

And by moving from annual to hourly tracking, we help companies better align clean energy use with grid conditions — a key step toward smarter procurement and deeper decarbonization.
 

How does your platform support companies in meeting evolving sustainability regulations and ESG reporting needs?

Spritju’s platform provides automated, audit-ready reports that align with frameworks such as GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, EU CSRD, SEC Climate Disclosure, and RE100 standards. By offering real-time, transparent proof of renewable energy consumption, the platform helps companies avoid greenwashing risks and comply with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
 

What’s next for Spritju: are you expanding your platform, services, or entering new markets?

Absolutely — the next chapter for Spritju is all about scale and accessibility.

We’re actively expanding our reach across the EU and beyond, with the goal of making automated, traceable renewable energy sourcing available to a broader range of users — from large energy consumers to SMEs and green hydrogen producers.

On the product side, we’re enhancing our platform to increase liquidity in the marketplace. By onboarding a greater number of suppliers and automating transactions, we aim to drive down prices and make EAC procurement more efficient and transparent.
