Reduce your company's carbon footprint by up to 99%
Recognized by the Federal Government and the GHG Protocol, the Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certificate allows your company to reduce or neutralize emissions without changing your operations.
• Complies with the Fuel of the Future Law for the fossil natural gas sector.
• Immediate solution, no energy replacement needed.
• Traceable and auditable certificate, registered on blockchain.
The Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certificate proves that a specific volume of gas was produced from a 100% renewable source, allowing companies across different sectors to neutralize their emissions even without consuming physical biomethane, advancing their decarbonization journeys.
In effect since October 2024, this law promotes the energy transition and decarbonization of the fossil natural gas sector, and establishes that the Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certificate (CGOB) can be used to prove the decarbonization of any fossil fuel.
But the law’s impact goes beyond regulation: it also recognizes other guarantees of origin certificates, strengthening the voluntary carbon market.
In practice, this means that companies across various sectors can accelerate their decarbonization journey through these certificates—even before implementing their own energy replacement projects. Using these internationally recognized certificates ensures traceability, transparency, and security in proving avoided emissions.
It’s not just for fossil natural gas producers and importers to meet regulatory targets set by the Fuel of the Future's Law. It’s also an important tool for companies seeking immediate and strategic decarbonization, even without consuming physical biomethane.
Industries still using fossil fuels
Carriers and exporters that need to deliver green products
Companies aiming to follow best sustainability practices
Natural gas producers and importers
Decarbonize now. You don’t need to wait for physical biomethane infrastructure to reach your region.
1
Gás Verde produces biomethane from landfill waste.
2
The biomethane is certified as renewable.
3
Your company acquires the CGOB equivalent to the desired consumption.
4
You start reporting emissions reduction or neutralize with official verification.
The Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certificate (CGOB) proves that a specific volume of gas was produced from a renewable source (biogas) and injected into the grid or physically delivered. In addition to being a traceable document, it is registered on blockchain, which prevents double counting of emissions.
It allows companies across different sectors to reduce or offset emissions, with or without physical delivery of biomethane, thanks to the traceability of the production chain. For fossil natural gas producers and importers, it serves to demonstrate compliance with the regulatory targets of the Fuel of the Future Law.
Yes. Provided traceability criteria and the Fuel of the Future Law requirements are met, audits can approve its use in emissions inventories.
Not in the traditional sense. CGOB is not a carbon credit. It promotes emissions reduction or neutralization by virtually replacing fossil fuel with renewable fuel. In other words, it is not compensation (offset), but substitution.
Biomethane is sold to fuel stations without the certificate. CGOB can therefore be sold separately, without risk of double counting, for companies wishing to neutralize emissions.
