What does VertiCer do?
VertiCer is the institution in the Netherlands that issues Guarantees of Origin (GoO) and certificate of origin (CoO) for all sustainable energy carriers. A GoO is the only proof that energy has been generated in a sustainable way. A CoO is the only proof that electricity was generated from fossil sources. Both GoOs and CoOs can be traded. VertiCer is the central point for all matters relating to this certification.

- The name of your merchant. You choose this one yourself. In practice, these are usually electricity suppliers. We recommend that you contact your trader before you register. See the trader overview under 'Downloads'.
