Two GOs with the same volume can be worth very different things to a buyer: registry, feedstock, carbon intensity, support status and production period all decide whether a certificate counts. The market needs more transparency and more liquidity. VerdIQ makes it easier to find each other, see what fits, and deal.
Supply and demand sit in phone books and inboxes. One call, one counterparty, one quote at a time.
Offers arrive in different formats. Eligibility for your obligation or claim gets checked late, often after terms are agreed.
Terms move by email, recaps are written by hand, and the registry transfer is a project of its own.
VerdIQ joins two things the market usually keeps apart: software that takes a deal from request to recap, and the know-how of people who have closed these deals registry by registry.
Five steps. At each one, the platform does the work and VerdIQ’s knowledge keeps the deal on spec.
List supply or post a request, firm or indicative, under no name.
IQ · A spec template built for your obligation or claim.
Quotes and counters on price, volume and attributes, with several counterparties at once.
IQ · Offers compared on the same attributes, differences flagged.
Both sides confirm identical terms. Firm offers hold until their stated time.
IQ · A fit review before you commit, on request.
Only now do the two parties see each other’s names.
IQ · Every counterparty onboarded and checked by VerdIQ.
Deal recap to both sides. You transfer on the registry and pay each other directly.
IQ · Transfer and cancellation steps across the AIB and ERGaR hubs and national registries.
VerdIQ never takes title, holds certificates or handles payment. Every deal is a bilateral contract between the two counterparties.
Gas and fuel suppliers, utilities, industrial users
Plant operators, developers and aggregators
Environmental commodity desks
Short briefings written from the desk, for members. No price index, no forecasts: what changed, who it affects, and what a certificate must carry.
What changes for obligated suppliers, market by market, and what a certificate must carry to count.
How the hubs let certificates move between member registries, and the transfer and cancellation steps in Enagás, EEX, Vertogas, dena and UK GGO.
How support status affects eligibility, double counting and price.
Some companies need more than a counterparty. We advise gas and fuel suppliers, transport operators and industrial users across Europe on turning biomethane certificates into compliance value, and on managing that position over time.
What your obligation requires under RED III and its national transpositions across the EU, and which certificates count in each market.
Sourcing, timing and use of GOs, PoS and transport tickets, to get the most value from each MWh.
Eligible GHG reductions identified and documented so they hold up with the regulator and your auditor.
We start with a short introductory session. With your data, a second session sets out a plan for your company. Execution stays with your team: registry transfers and filings remain yours.
Book an introductory sessionWe introduce and facilitate. Every deal is between you and your counterparty.
Your name stays hidden until both sides accept the same terms.
Platform fees apply only when a deal is concluded. No deal, no fee.
Certificates and money move directly between the parties.
Our edge is knowing how a biomethane certificate deal actually gets done, registry by registry, and putting that knowledge where the deal happens.
Biomethane is renewable gas made from organic waste such as manure, food waste and crop residues, upgraded to natural-gas quality and injected into the grid. Because it mixes with other gas in the grid, its renewable value travels separately as a certificate. A Guarantee of Origin (GO) proves where and how each MWh was produced. A Proof of Sustainability (PoS) shows it meets the EU sustainability criteria. Companies use them to meet transport and energy obligations or to back green-gas claims.
No. VerdIQ introduces counterparties and provides software for bilateral transactions. It does not operate a trading venue, deal in financial instruments or act as principal. Every deal is a contract between the two parties.
No prices and no index. Intelligence means three things: offers checked against your spec attribute by attribute, guidance on what a certificate must carry for the use you intend, and short market notes on regulation and registries. It informs your decision; the decision and the contract stay yours.
Producers, compliance buyers and traders of biomethane certificates. Each organisation is reviewed and onboarded by VerdIQ, including our own KYC, before it gets access.
Only after both sides have accepted the same terms. Until then, listings, requests and negotiations are anonymous.
You and your counterparty, directly, as in any bilateral deal. VerdIQ sends both sides the deal recap and can walk you through the registry steps, but stays out of the flow of certificates and money.
Biomethane Guarantees of Origin and Proofs of Sustainability. Listings carry the registry, from national registries such as Enagás (ES), EEX (FR), Vertogas (NL), dena (DE) and UK GGO, connected through hubs such as AIB and ERGaR, feedstock, carbon intensity, support status, country and production period.
