Certificates - White - Energy Efficiency
A White Certificate scheme is meant to facilitate achieving energy savings targets. By means of certification it aims to guarantee the achievement of a claimed amount of energy savings. Pros of White Certificates: Certification guarantees meeting the agreed target; Introduction of tradability aims at least cost achievement of targets, The system could unlock energy saving potentials and actors that are currently not unlocked by other instruments, Can stimulate the market for ESCOs. Cons of White Certificates: Might target only efficiency increases, not overall reduction of energy consumption; Could involve large transaction costs; Might favor mainly actions easy to implement and measure.

Emissions trading (or cap and trade) - is an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Wikipedia.
Green Certificates - also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) is a tradable commodity proving that certain electricity is generated using renewable energy sources. Typically one certificate represents generation of 1 Megawatt hour of electricity. What is defined as "renewable" varies from certificate trading scheme to trading scheme. Wikipedia.
White Certificates - documents certifying that a certain reduction of energy consumption has been attained. In most applications, the white certificates are tradable and combined with an obligation to achieve a certain target of energy savings. Under such a system, producers, suppliers or distributors of electricity, gas and oil are required to undertake energy efficiency measures for the final user that are consistent with a pre-defined percentage of their annual energy deliverance. White certificates are given to the producer whenever an amount of energy is saved whereupon the producer can use the certificate for their own target compliance or can be sold to (other) obliged parties. Quite analogous to the closely related concept of emissions trading, the tradability in theory guarantees that the overall energy saving is achieved at least cost, while the certificates guarantee that the overall energy saving target is achieved. Wikipedia.
