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.
