Description

Bristol City Council - Purchase of Green Gas certificates Bristol City Council (BCC) is looking at options for the purchase of Green Gas certificates. At present, BCC purchases RGGOs as part of its gas supply contract. This is limited to just under 4GWh/yr for three of the Council's largest gas consuming sites. Approval has been given to expand the number of sites covered by Green Gas arrangements, increasing the requirement to around 11GWh/yr. BCC is now looking at alternative procurement options for securing Green Gas certification for this increased volume. As part of this approval, BCC is looking to secure a supply of green gas that does not involve the use of 'fuel crops', ie agricultural crops that could be used as food instead being used to produce biogas. It is important that we can demonstrate that our Green Gas certification does not involve the use of fuel crops. These new arrangements would come into effect from April 2025, and BCC would be looking for a Green Gas certificate arrangement up to September 2028 (inclusive), to co-terminate with our gas supply contract. It should be noted that BCC is not looking for a Green Gas tariff, nor for Carbon offsetting options. Any certificates purchased must be directly traceable to Green Gas injection into the GB gas grid for the full volume covered.
