One-stop shop for issuing Guarantees of Origin and Certificates of Origin for all energy carriers of today and tomorrow.
About VertiCer
From the 1st of January 2023, VertiCer is the central point for issuing Guarantees and Certificates of Origin for electricity, renewable thermal energy, green gas and green hydrogen. With the certification of all energy carriers under one roof, VertiCer is a solid, expert and future-proof partner in the energy transition.
A GvO is the only proof that energy has been generated in a sustainable way. A CvO is the only proof that electricity was generated from fossil sources. Both GvOs and CvOs can be traded. VertiCer is the central point for all matters relating to this certification.
VertiCer's certification system guarantees insight into the origin and technology of renewable energy. For a successful transition to a sustainable future, this certification is essential for producers, end consumers and everyone in between. As an independent body, VertiCer forms the basis for all parties involved in this.
The transition to a sustainable energy system of tomorrow involves all energy carriers of today. To illustrate: Green hydrogen is produced using, among other things, renewable electricity. A successful energy transition therefore requires transparent and conclusive registration of all forms of energy generation.
VertiCer is a subsidiary of N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie and TenneT TSO B.V.
Mission
Why do we exist?
By issuing standardised Guarantees of Origin, VertiCer provides reliable and transparent information about the origin and generation of energy carriers to all parties involved. We carry out our activities as efficiently and to the highest standard possible within a clear and consistent legal framework. In doing so, we contribute to the energy transition and stimulate the development of the renewable energy market, both nationally and across Europe.
Vision
What do we want to be?
With a comprehensive certification system, we offer transparency about the sources, origin and generation technology of all energy carriers offered and encourage both the development and use of renewable energy.
We enable the market to establish as much of a link as possible between the origin of energy production and consumption within Europe. We play an active role in the European certification arena, because optimal transparency can currently only be achieved at European level.
