Statistics
ERGaR is strongly committed to the facilitation and gradual creation of the Europe-wide cross-border trade of renewable gas certificates. In order to allow for more insight into the current situation, as well as to inform you on the development of our ERGaR CoO Scheme, we will regularly publish and update relevant statistics on our activities.
Q2 2023
The number of transfers totaled 124, while the amount transferred was 136 GWh.
In the second quarter of 2023, all biomethane CoO were transferred to the German Biogasregister, while the highest volume of exports derived from the United Kingdom. Further exports were made from the Netherlands and Austria to Germany.
The reason for the lower number of transfers and amounts compared to previous quarters was a cyberattack on one of the external providers of dena’s Biogasregister. The issue has since been resolved and no further disruptions are expected.
Q1 2023
The number of transfers totaled 520, while the amount transferred was 397 GWh.
In the first quarter of 2023, all biomethane CoO were transferred to the German Biogasregister, while the highest volume of exports derived from the United Kingdom. Further exports were made from the Netherlands and Austria to Germany.
Q4 2022
The number of transfers totaled 274, while the amount transferred was 366 GWh.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, all biomethane CoO were transferred to the German Biogasregister, while the highest volume of exports derived from the United Kingdom. Further exports were made from the Netherlands and Austria to Germany.
Q3 2022
The number of transfers totalled 229, while the amount transferred was 449 GWh.
In the third quarter of 2022, all biomethane CoO were transferred to the German Biogasregister, while the highest volume of exports derived from the United Kingdom. Further exports were made from the Netherlands to Germany.
Q2 2022
The number of transfers totalled 119, while the amount transferred was 148.857 GWh.
In the second quarter of 2022, all biomethane CoO were transferred to the German Biogasregister, while the highest volume of exports derived from the United Kingdom. Further exports occurred from the Netherlands and Austria via their Biomethan Register.
Q1 2022
The number of transfers totalled more than 202 (as opposed to 11 in Q4 of 2021), while the amount transferred was 433 GWh (compared to 30 GWh in Q4 of 2021).
In the first quarter of 2022, all biomethane CoO were transferred to the German Biogasregister, while the highest volume of exports derived from the United Kingdom. It is worth noting that despite the small overall biomethane production in Austria, more than 10 GWh of biomethane CoO were transferred from the Biomethan Register Austria to the German Biogasregister.
Biomethane Production in Europe
The call for renewable energy is not only gaining traction but is now understood as an elemental part of the green energy transition. As such, biomethane production across Europe is experiencing more interest and support.
In 2020, a total amount of 32 TWh of biomethane was produced. For more detailed and country-specific information, please consult the Biomethane Map of our member, the European Biogas Association.
