Consultation on Guarantees of Origin for Renewable Gas: Development of the Supervisory Framework

Read the consultation here.

This Supervisory Framework relates to gGOs for grid-injected gas only from renewable sources, as set out in S.I. No. 350 of 2022. gGOs are electronic certificates, issued to renewable gas producers, whose sole function is to demonstrate that a portion of a particular supplier’s demand was met by renewable gas. To a final customer, the primary purpose of a gGO is to evidence that a given share or quantity of the gas supplied to that customer was produced from renewable sources at a point of origin which is not claimed by anyone else. gGOs have a monetary value and can be traded exclusively through a ‘book & claim’ methodology, meaning that the gGO can be traded independently of the physical delivery or actual quantities of renewable gas i.e. they do not need to follow the flow of renewable gas volumes.

Responses should be submitted via the consultation platform by the close of business on Thursday, 22nd May 2025.

Following the end of the 6-week consultation period on Thursday 22nd May 2025, the CRU will review responses received and, taking this feedback into consideration, will commence drafting the Decision paper to establish the Supervisory Framework for gGOs. The CRU expects to publish a Decision paper in Q3/Q4 2025.
