GOs
Guarantee of Origin certificates (GOs) are
renewable power certificates that can be used to document and report on the
energy you consume that comes from a renewable source. They are part of a
voluntary system that complies with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2
Guidelines. They are widely used in the European Union to reduce your
greenhouse gas emissions and increase your sustainability ratings. They can be
used as verifiable documentation for a sustainability or environmental report.
The money used in the sale of these certificates is used by renewable energy
generators to expand and develop current and new renewable production. Each
certificate corresponds to 1MWh of renewable electricity bought or supplied.
The EU Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC)
Guarantee of Origin certificates can be redeemed on an electronic certificate registry to document and prove the use of renewable energy for a company or user. As they are redeemed electronically this automatically disables any double counting so any certificate can be redeemed once only. As long as countries are connected on the AIB hub as above, Guarantee of Origin certificates can be traded and exchanged between registries and redeemed in different countries.
