Frequently asked questions

Search by category:
Your production installation has been registered. What now?

Metering values 
Once your installation has been approved, your metering chain can start sending in production data. VertiCer processes submitted metering values for your installations, after which VertiCer issues the GOs.

Which reports to submit?
Check the overview ‘Reporting requirements’ to see if you need to submit reports for your production installation.

Fuel percentages
The fact that the raw materials used are of sustainable origin must be proven and reported to VertiCer. You can do this by using your monthly fuel percentages. With this registration, you divide the monthly production over the biomass types used (based on NTA8003 codes). With your fuel percentages, you also have the option to indicate whether you use a voluntary sustainability scheme on your biomass flows. Your fuel percentages, together with the measurement data, form the basis of the GO issuance.

What data do I need to register my producer account and production installation?
  • Your MyVertiCer login details. These are the details of your eRecognition account. 
  • Your measurement protocol. The registration of your production installation requests a number of installation details, which can be found in your measurement protocol. The registration form will also ask you to upload your measurement protocol.
  • The name of your trader. You choose this one yourself. In practice, this is usually electricity suppliers. We recommend that you contact your trader before you register. See the 'Traders overview' under “Downloads”.
What is the difference between biogas and green gas?

The term green gas is used to indicate that it is biogas brought to natural gas quality. Biogas is gas that is produced sustainably.

What is the difference between green and renewable gas?

VertiCer refers to renewable gas in all official documents. This is because it can be determined objectively. Green has a value judgement in it with regard to sustainability and this always remains subjective. Because sustainability criteria do apply and to align with the terminology commonly used in the market, "green gas" is used in further communication.

Is all the green gas I buy produced in the Netherlands?

For now, all certificates included in the VertiCer system are based on gas produced in the Netherlands. VertiCer is exploring opportunities for partnerships with foreign green gas certifiers to enable cross-border green gas trading.

Is there any other way to get green gas?

If you want to be sure that there is actually the amount of green gas produced that you want to use, you cannot do so without certificates. However, there are also providers that offer green gas through CO2 offsetting. For this, trees are planted somewhere, for example. This goes outside VertiCer's system.

If you want to buy large quantities of green gas, it can be attractive to act as a trader yourself. That way, arrangements can be made directly with producers.
