The symbolical presentation of the first green gas certificates to three producers in July 2009. From left to right: Marcel Kramer, CEO of Gasunie; Michiel Kirch, managing director of Cogas; Stef Groot Nibbelink, manager of Praktijkcentrum De Marke; Economic Affairs minister Maria van der Hoeven; and Robert van der Hoeven, director of Essent Milieu.

Expectations were high last July when Gasunie introduced green gas certificates, a guarantee of origin comparable to the existing green energy certificates intended to increase the visibility of green gas and make it more negotiable. But a year after the launch the certification system has yet to ge...
