8. Green Gas Certification Biomethane Certification in Ireland Brendan O’Riordan – Green Gas Certification Project Lead GMARG- 18 th April 2019

Green Gas Certification - Background • Biomethane = a renewable energy source ‒ a green gas, identical properties to fossil gas (methane) ‒ Produced from biodegradable organic materials (e.g. organic waste, sludge, silage/grass, slurry, etc.) ‒ A clean, renewable & carbon-neutral fuel • Biomethane Certificates ‒ Each certificate represents a guarantee that 1 MWh of biomethane has been injected into the GNI grid. ‒ Certificate issued to the producer of biomethane, who can transfer ownership to an end-consumer of gas.  Valued by end-consumers = using a carbon-neutral fuel & EU-ETS • National Targets - facilitate overall national reporting of GHG emissions reductions • National Schemes – facilitate interface for both BOS for transport & SSRH for biomethane in heat 19

RED II, Art.19: Elements of a Guarantee of Origin (‘GO’) M.S. must issue a GO for each MWh of energy produced from all renewable sources  Proof of Origin  From which Green Gas production plant did this green gas originate from?  Name, Location, Type, Capacity  Proof of Amount  How much green gas was produced?  When was is produced/injected?  Proof of Quality  Sustainability Criteria: GHG Value 20

Green Gas Certification Scheme for Ireland • System to issue certs for biomethane produced & injected into grid. • Processes to trace biomethane from production to consumption • Auditor to verify origin of biomethane within the Registry ‒ inspect production plant, feedstocks and processes, ‒ verify quantity & quality • Comply with RED II sustainability criteria & classifications 21

Process: End-to-End Producer GNI Shipper Waste to Biogas to Biomethane Contract with Biomethane Transport bio-methane through T to Producer & D networks Grid Injection - Gas & Certificate Capacity Booking from Shipper Capacity Booking & Commodity Entry – Biomethane Pt Certificate for each 1 MWh Charge w/ GNI Exit – Pt of Consumption Contract w/ gas consumer to Contract with Shipper to sell Issue Certs (GO’s) for supply biomethane injected Biomethane and/or Cert Fossil Gas or Green Gas 22
