Google is providing seed funding to the Center for Resource Solutions to set up renewable energy certification programs across Asia, which will help companies to know the power they buy comes from clean sources.

The effort will start in Taiwan, creating certificates for renewable power, Google, the main division of Alphabet Inc., said Thursday on its Asia-Pacific blog. The amount of funding wasn’t disclosed.
