Solution: Certification of biogas and biomethane (green methane)

Our service portfolio

• Biomethane certification: Suppliers of biomethane additive products for end customers have the opportunity to increase the transparency and thus the acceptance of their product through certification according to the TÜV AUSTRIA “Green Methane” standard.
• Biogas certification according to EU sustainability criteria: The EU directive on the promotion of renewable energies has established criteria for the sustainability of liquid and gaseous biofuels. Austria has transposed this directive into national law (Sustainable Agricultural Raw Materials Ordinance – NLAV and Fuel Ordinance 2012). In order for plant operators to be able to count biomethane towards the biofuel quota or apply for tax relief, they are required to have the sustainability of production verified by an independent third party.
• Biogas assessment according to the Green Electricity Act (ÖSG):
  Depending on the type of biogas production, biogas processing, and feed-in, a certain remuneration claim may arise under the ÖSG if adequate evidence is provided when withdrawing from the natural gas grid. The experts at TÜV AUSTRIA will help you to realize the subsidy.
• Regenerative methane production according to the power-to-gas process: With the “Green Methane” certification standard, the regenerative production of methane according to the power-to-gas process can also be certified.
