For producers of green gas

Welcome to VertiCer, the hotline for certification for renewable energy carriers.

Are you a producer of green gas, or planning to become one? Then you can take care of all your business on this page. We will be happy to help you on your way!

What does VertiCer do?

VertiCer is the institution in the Netherlands that issues Guarantees of Origin (GvO) and certificate of origin (CvO) for all sustainable energy carriers. 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.

Registration as a green gas producer

This page tells you what you need to do to receive Guarantees of Origin for the green gas you produce.

To qualify for Guarantees of Origin, you must be registered as a producer with VertiCer. Your installation must also be approved by a determination by the grid operator and registered by VertiCer.

Roadmap for producer and production plant registration

  1. You can register yourself as a producer by filling in the registration form
  2. You will receive VertiCer's general terms and conditions.
  3. You will be registered as a producer and receive login codes for your VertiCer green gas environment.
  4. You register your production plant with VertiCer. You do this by emailing the signed determination form and the approved measurement protocol to [email protected]. The determination form can be found under Downloads. In this e-mail, you request VertiCer to register your production installation.
  5. VertiCer assesses the notification of your production plant. When all documents are submitted correctly and completely, we register your production plant. Your green gas production plant is definitively registered.

Your production plant has been registered. What now?

Measured values
The metering values of your green gas plant are transmitted monthly by the grid operator to VertiCer around the 18e working day of the month. VertiCer processes supplied metering values for your installations. If you have several installations at one network point, your metering manager still applies a division by production installation.

Reporting requirement
See 'Overview' in downloads. 

Biomass registration
That the raw materials used are of sustainable origin must be demonstrated and communicated to VertiCer. Primarily, you do this through your monthly Biomass Registration. With this registration, you allocate the monthly production to the biomass types used (based on NTA8003 codes). In your biomass registration, you also have the option to indicate whether you claim SDE subsidy, or apply a voluntary sustainability scheme to your biomass streams. Together with the metering data, your biomass registration is the basis of the GvO issue.

Frequently asked questions

Did RVO not receive the measurements for the SDE?

This may have the following causes: 

  • No (or incorrect) measurements been sent in from your grid operator. In this case, contact your grid operator. The grid operator is responsible for transmitting the measurements to VertiCer.
  • The registration of your installation has expired. Only ifor valid registrations the measurements will be forwarded to RVO. According to legislation and regulations, the registration of a production installation is valid for 5 years. For a production installation with a capacity of less than 15 KW, a registration does not expire.
    If your installation no longer has a valid registration, you must re-register your production installation via MyVertiCer. To do so, select your role on our website in the menu bar (via For private customers and/or For business) and click on the yellow button ‘Register account or production installation’ to go to MyVertiCer and re-register your production system.
  • The GoO trader linked to the registration of your installation is no longer registered with us. As a result, metering values and/or GoOs cannot be fully processed, which means that the data cannot (yet) be forwarded to RVO either.
    Because designating a (valid) trader is mandatory, it is important to choose another trader, from the Traders Overview, who will receive your GoOs from now on. You can submit this change digitally via our website (under Actions in MyVertiCer: ‘I want to submit a change’).
My registration for my production installation is about to expire or has expired. What should I do?

You need to re-register your production plant via MyVertiCer. Choose your role in the menu to go to MyVertiCer and register your production installation.

The details of my production installation have changed. What should I do?

You can only change your trader in MyVertiCer. If your production installation has changed, you must re-register it via MyVertiCer. Choose your role in the menu to go to MyVertiCer.

What is the notification status of my generating plant?
