Portugal’s nation grid registers first Guarantees of Origin for biomethane for transport
In Portugal, Rede Eléctrica Nacional S.A., in its capacity as a Guarantees of Origin Issuing Entity (EEGO), has registered the first certification of Guarantees of Origin (GO) for biomethane intended for the transport sector. With this operation, the company G3 | Go Green Gas has become a pioneer in Portugal in certifying the renewable origin of biomethane in the transport sector.
G3 | Go Green Gas is a Portuguese company specialising in gas-powered mobility solutions for heavy passenger and freight transport fleets. In 2023, it became the first company to market biomethane in Portugal, and has since placed certification of the gas’s renewable origin at the heart of its value proposition. It will now carry out this certification on the EEGO platform.
EEGO is responsible for the implementation and management of the system for the electronic issuance, transfer and certification of these certificates in mainland Portugal. In June 2024, the platform began expanding its activities into the gas sector and, in November of the same year, upon joining the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) and the European Energy Certificate System (EECS), it also began to cover international operations, enabling the circulation and mutual recognition of these certificates amongst member countries.
