The Green Gas Certification Scheme (GGCS) tracks the trades of each unit of biomethane injected to the gas grid through the supply chain as a guarantee of authenticity for end-use consumers. GGCS now has 24 biomethane plants and 25 gas suppliers participating, with a further 25 plants projected to be participating by the end of 2017.
