facilitated via the ERGaR platform
ROLE OF ERGaR
To allow national registries to trade Certificates of Origin between each other. These Certificates of Origin can be Guarantees of Origin as stated in the Renewable Energy Directive or other national certificates. ERGaR allows for the registries that are part of its CoO scheme to trade biomethane certificates with each other, thus working towards a European market.
Operating since 2021, the ERGaR CoO scheme facilitated the transfer of more than 2TWh in biomethane certificates between the participants, with most being exported to Germany. ERGaR facilitates such transfers of biomethane through its ExtraVert platform, currently covering six European countries.
