What this article reported

Northmore Gordon is now accredited under the GreenPower Renewable Gas Certification to trade Renewable Gas Guarantee of Origin Certificates (RGGOs).

This means we can buy certificates from certified renewable gas producers and sell them to commercial and industrial gas users. We can also retire certificates in the GreenPower registry for our clients, so their renewable gas claims are verified and counted only once.

"We're working hard to get RGGOs moving in the market," said Craig Morgan, Sales & Marketing Director at Northmore Gordon. "Renewable gas producers need buyers, and businesses need credible ways to cut their gas emissions. This accreditation lets us bring the two together, and we're looking forward to working with GreenPower to grow the market."

Why it matters

For many businesses, gas is the hardest part of their emissions to cut. Process heat, boilers and furnaces can't always be electrified quickly or cheaply. RGGOs give these businesses a credible way to show they use renewable gas, such as biogas, biomethane or renewable hydrogen, under a government-backed certification scheme.

For producers, certificates add a revenue stream that helps renewable gas projects get built and stay viable.

How we can help

This accreditation builds on our work helping clients use less energy and decarbonise. We can help you:

What GreenPower accreditation did Northmore Gordon receive?

The September 2026 announcement says Northmore Gordon became accredited under GreenPower Renewable Gas Certification to trade Renewable Gas Guarantee of Origin certificates, or RGGOs. Current accreditation and scheme requirements should be confirmed in the GreenPower registry and guidance.

What can Northmore Gordon do as an accredited renewable gas trader?

The page says Northmore Gordon can buy certificates from certified renewable gas producers, sell them to commercial and industrial gas users, and retire certificates in the GreenPower registry for clients. Retirement is the evidence step that supports a claim and prevents the same certificate from being used twice.

What is an RGGO?

An RGGO is the renewable-gas certificate described by the GreenPower scheme. It records certified renewable-gas attributes in the registry so ownership and retirement can be tracked. It should not be treated as evidence of a physical fuel change at a site unless the site's supply and claim boundary also support that statement.

Why might an industrial gas user consider RGGOs?

Process heat, boilers and furnaces may be difficult or slow to electrify. The announcement presents RGGOs as one option for supporting a renewable-gas claim while a business also evaluates efficiency, electrification and fuel switching. The certificate strategy should match the reporting boundary, period and exact public claim.

Do RGGOs prove that a business physically eliminated its gas emissions?

No. A retired certificate supports the renewable-gas attribute claim defined by the scheme; it does not by itself prove that every gas-consuming asset was electrified or that all direct emissions were physically eliminated. Reporting should distinguish operational reductions, fuel changes and certificate-backed claims.

How can renewable gas certificates help producers?

The announcement says certificate sales can create an additional revenue stream for certified renewable gas producers. That may support project development and operation, while actual eligibility, issuance and registry treatment remain subject to the scheme's current requirements.

What evidence should support an RGGO-backed claim?

Keep the reporting entity and boundary, period, gas consumption data, certificate type and quantity, producer and registry details, transfer records, retirement evidence, approvals and exact claim wording. The evidence file should also show how certificate quantities were matched to the claimed use and prevent double counting.

How does Northmore Gordon combine RGGOs with broader decarbonisation work?

The page describes support for assessing whether RGGOs fit the decarbonisation plan, sourcing and retiring certificates, connecting buyers with certified producers, and combining certificates with energy efficiency, electrification and fuel-switching projects. The sequence should begin with the emissions boundary and reduction options before selecting instruments.
