Green Gases and Innovations

Green Gases are the future of our gas supply.

As energy carrier and as ressource they are a building block of tomorrows prosperity.

On the path to there, we have to re-invent ourselves and our economy. Already today, we are setting the course for this.

We support you on this way with our creativity and with many years of experience.

Renewable Gas Registry Ireland

In Ireland, the first plant injects biomethane into the national gas grid since 2020. The “Renewable Natural Gas Registry” records these gas amounts precisely and allows flexible marketing of green gases.

It is operated by the Irish gas grid operator Gas Networks Ireland.

Stephan Bowe has designed and developed Ireland’s first tracking system for green gases in the grid.

We analyse, how guarantees of origin and other verification concepts for renewable energy sources for electricity, gases, heating/cooling and liquid fuels may interact in the future. Thus, we develop the foundations for a comprehensive national verification concept for renewable energies. This enables industrial companies to switch to renewable energy sources and to make their production climate-neutral.

GreenGasAdvisors realizes in cooperation with the Hamburg Institut the GO4Industry project. The project results may be found on the project website www.go4industry.com. The project is supported by the German Federal Minitstry for the Environment.

Green Gases Network

The Green Gases Network is a platform for information exchange on green gase. The network is open for anyone interested and it is free of charge (German communication). GreenGasAdvisors has provided this mailing list since 2019; around 350 experts (as of Jan. 2022) are registered.
