Corporate buyers of power are increasingly committing to using zero emissions electricity, measured on an hourly basis, to power their operations. Both Google and Microsoft have committed to achieve this by 2030. The US Federal Government has committed to 50% of power purchases being zero emission by 2030. Hourly, zero emission is rapidly becoming a new corporate ‘gold standard’
New green industries - from green hydrogen to green polysilicate - require auditable 24/7 input green power as a pre-requisite to the business model.
Collectively, this indicates a large and growing demand for 24/7, zero emissions electricity. Digital solutions are needed to enable auditable hourly tracing of a companyʼs renewable power purchases and resulting carbon reductions.

Quinbrook is led and managed by a senior team of power industry professionals who have collectively invested over US 8 billion of equity in energy infrastructure assets since the early 1990s, representing a total enterprise value of US 28.7 billion or 19.5 GW of power supply capacity. Quinbrookʼs investment and asset management team has offices in Houston, London, Jersey, and the Gold Coast of Australia. Quinbrookʼs global investment and portfolio company teams are actively developing and constructing a portfolio exceeding 8GW of onshore wind, solar PV , reserve peaking power, battery storage projects, grid support infrastructure, Virtual Power Plants and Community Energy Networks across the U.S., U.K. and Australia.
About Quinbrook
Provenance of every kWh of consumption on an hourly basis
Major energy users are increasingly committing to decarbonization goals that include commitments at an hourly level. They need green energy on a 24/7 basis, every hour, everywhere.
The industry needed a tool to demonstrate 24/7 green power supply to a site, at the hourly or sub-hourly level, sourced from specific green projects with full auditability.
That is why we have developed Quintrace.
What problem are we solving?
How did we solve this problem?
We believe in data driven decarbonization. Our cloud hosted platform is transparent and auditable, providing defensible carbon claims.
We use granular hourly data from assets and an advanced matching algorithm to match every kWh of consumption to its original source (directly or indirectly through storage assets).
Quintrace solves many challenges including:
Scalable data management for many assets/sites in near real time
Tracing green power through storage
Tracing green power through to downstream products (e.g. green hydrogen)
Ensuring auditability of the tracing solution
Customized carbon reporting for users
Interactive user interface and live dashboards
Our digital platform lets users:
Have a centralized view of an asset’s operations
Defend carbon claims using data updated hourly
Make hourly carbon commitments and report outcomes accurately
Implement the EnergyTag hourly certificate standard to storage assets
Discover insights (e.g. best time to charge batteries to achieve carbon impact)
Match generation and consumption across a portfolio of assets
Assist in achieving committed sustainability goals
How do we create value for you?
