French ministry appoints European Energy Exchange to develop and operated biogas GO program

In France, European Energy Exchange (EEX) has been appointed by the French Ministry of Energy Transition to develop and operate registry and auctioning services for biogas Guarantees of Origin (GOs), as well as registry services for biogas production certificates.

In coordination with the Ministry, EEX will launch the biogas GO registry on 1 October 2023, taking over from the French gas distributor GrDF, the current operator of the scheme. First auctions for biogas GOs are expected to be held at the beginning of 2024.
