Biogas Certificates

Biogas certificates: what are they?

Biogas certificates, also known guarantees of origin for renewable gas or green gas, certify the generation of one unit of energy (MWh) from biogas injected into the natural gas grid.

These certificates serve multiple purposes:

Traceability
They verify the renewable origin of biogas, enabling consumers to deliberately choose green gas.
Sustainability
They encourage the production and use of boigas, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Market value
They are negotiable on the energy market, creating added value for biogas producers.

Biogas: how does it works?

Biogas is a versatile and easily adaptable renewable energy source resulting from the organic matter decomposition via micro-organisms that accelerate the anaerobic digestion process. This decomposition produces a mixture primarily consisting of methane, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other gaseous components.

This process takes place in specialized biogas treatment facilities. With a methane content of 50 to 55%, biogas has great potential for renewable electricity production.

It is important to emphasize that the choice of raw materials can affect the composition and final quality of the produced biogas. Furthermore, utilizing different raw materials provides operational flexibility to biogas facilities, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply of green energy.
