Sustainability Certification

For existing or planned biogas upgrading plants, entering the sustainable fuels market offers significant economic potential. REDcert or ISCC certification is the essential gateway to the German greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation quota, unlocking valuable new revenue streams.
One of the most critical and challenging factors in profitable biofuel production is the precise calculation of GHG savings. Because this value directly influences the final selling price, it must be determined with technical precision. We provide expert support for these calculations and all other certification requirements to ensure your plant’s maximum profitability.
 

If your biogas is used for on-site combustion in a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit rather than being upgraded, specific regulations apply. Plants with a thermal input exceeding 2 MW or 200 m³/h CH₄ (approximately 850 kW) are required to undergo SURE certification. This status is mandatory to be recognized as a producer of sustainable energy and to maintain eligibility for EEG remuneration.
We manage the entire SURE certification process for you, ensuring your plant remains compliant and eligible for all applicable subsidies.
