EXPLORING THE CHANGING AND COMPLEX GAS CERTIFICATION MARKET

Keynote address: Assessing the future of the certification market and GOs as an instrument for the energy transition

  • What does a coherent, aligned industry vision look like over the next 5–10 years?

  • Best approaches to overcome standardisation and transparency challenges in the market

  • How does the market navigate different types of certificates and support schemes?

11.00

Keynote industry panel: Aligning Europe's obligation systems: The path to GO and Proof of Sustainability (PoS) interoperability

Pose your biggest questions and gain clarity on how PoS and Guarantees of Origin (GO) will coexist in the future

  • What are the most effective methods for integrating PoS and GO systems?

  • How harmonised is the PoS framework across Europe and what's needed to close the gaps?

  • How are member states applying systems – does it go through UDB, GO registries or both?

  • What's holding back cross-border GO transfers and how can interoperability be improved?

Speakers include:

Oskar Holmsten, Portfolio Manager, Nordic Carbon

Ari Suomilammi, Head of Renewable Gases, Gasum Oy

Frits van der Velde, Program Director Biomethane, Gasunie

Morning coffee and networking

ALIGNING STANDARDS AND METHODOLOGIES IN A FRAGMENTED MARKET

12.10

Keynote registries panel: How registries are connecting to shape the future of renewable attributes

Explore the evolving German and EU registry architecture - how systems will interact and what documentation requirements will change

  • How will biomethane and hydrogen GOs coexist in the absence of clear EU-wide rules?

  • How will the German registry integrate with alternative registries and the UDB?

  • Will the market need gas GOs as a prerequisite to issue RFNBO derivative certificates?

  • What steps are being taken to improve cross-border trade and registry interoperability?

Speakers include:

Harald Proidl, Director Renewables/Director Energy Efficiency Authority, E-Control

Martina Gabriel, Head of Guarantees of Origin and Clean Mobility, OTE

POLICY UNCERTAINTY AND SHAPING MARKET DEVELOPMENT

12.40

Regulatory panel: Examining the regulations shaping the certificates and Guarantee of Origin landscape

  • How are the EU Gas Decarbonisation Package and RED III driving demand for gas certificates?

  • Are the mass balance provisions under RED IV fit for purpose as the directive continues to evolve?

  • Are blending mandates for gas grids evolving and will they favour domestic production?

  • When will the Union Database be operational and how will it harmonise EU transactions?

Speakers include:

Julian Auderieth, President, ERGaR

Jan Eustachi, Regulatory Affairs Advisor Biomethane, Shell International Trading and Shipping

Katrien Verwimp, Strategy Coordinator, AIB – Association of Issuing Bodies

CERTIFICATE USE, DATA INTEGRITY AND MARKET REPORTING

14.30

Industry spotlight: Using biomethane certificates in practice: From registry to market use

Join this panel to understand the technical applications on what each certificate can be used for and how systems interact

  • How do biomethane certificates fit into Scope 2 reporting and energy claims?

  • How do GOs interact with Scope 3 supply chain accounting and decarbonisation strategies?

  • How will producers allocate different feedstocks for GHG accounting in the long term?

  • What is the criteria for use of GOs and PoS for biomethane consumed through the gas grid?

  • How will the UDB integrate and what changes to documentation should the market expect?

Speakers include:

Tatiana Demeusy, Senior Manager Renewable Gases, EnBW

Kathleen Weymann, Sustainability Manager ESG Regulation & Reporting, RWE Supply & Trading

15.40

Tracing the chain: Improving data transparency and reliability from feedstock to end-product

  • How do you trace data for complete transparency and what are best methods?

  • Establishing quality standards and ensuring reliability of data

  • Overcoming data challenges including storage, verification, and interoperability

16.00

Afternoon coffee break and interactive huddles
