Role of ERGaR
ERGaR serves as the European association for all stakeholders involved in renewable gas (certificate) trading and operates the system that supports cross-border exchange of renewable gas certificates.
ERGaR is the Brussels-based, Europe-wide association for all players involved in the renewable gas market: national biomethane registries, gas network operators, traders and other related organisations. We provide a collaborative, independent and transparent forum where stakeholders come together to shape and support the development of a pan-European renewable gas market.
Since 2021, ERGaR has operated the Certificates of Origin (CoO) Scheme, allowing registries to exchange biomethane certificates across borders through its Cert-X Europe platform. Over 8 TWh of certificates have already been transferred via the ERGaR CoO Scheme.

ERGaR Calls for EU Recognition of All Bio-LNG Liquefaction Pathways to Strengthen Competitiveness
Bio-LNG has significant potential to decarbonise maritime and road transport while supporting European biomethane production. However, unlocking this potential requires a clear and technology-neutral EU regulatory framework that recognises both physical liquefaction and liquefaction by equivalence. ERGaR, together with industry stakeholders, calls on the European Commission to ensure fair and predictable conditions for all certified…
ERGaR joins industry call to preserve the EU mass balance system
Together with seven other industry associations representing the renewable and low-carbon fuel value chain, we have issued a joint statement calling on the European Commission to preserve the core principles of the mass balance system under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED).

Ten years on, ERGaR handled 93% of all cross-border biomethane certificate transfers in the EU in 2025. To mark our 10th anniversary, three people who helped shape ERGaR in its early years have…
