Imports & Registries

Where cross-border biomethane is made recognisable within Irish regulatory frameworks.

Working with biomethane producers, gas suppliers and traders, and large energy users.

What we do in practice:

We manage the regulatory, registry and documentation mechanics required to support the recognition of imported biomethane in Ireland. This includes:

  • Verifying the legitimacy of imported biomethane, including origin, sustainability characteristics and certification robustness

  • Assessing eligibility for recognition within Irish regulatory and registry frameworks

  • Supporting interface with the GNI Renewable Gas Registry, including submission, troubleshooting and ongoing engagement

  • Aligning documentation across producers, suppliers and traders to support recognition and ongoing delivery

  • Advising on responsibility and risk allocation where recognition or eligibility is challenged

  • Remaining involved post-import to resolve issues as registry, regulatory or documentation requirements evolve

How we approach imports & registries

Recognition-led assessment

We start from a simple question: will this biomethane be recognised in Ireland? All import work is assessed against Irish regulatory and registry requirements first, ensuring eligibility, documentation and sustainability characteristics are aligned before value is assumed.

Jurisdiction-specific expertise

Our approach is grounded in a detailed understanding of Irish regulatory frameworks and the GNI Renewable Gas Registry. We work directly with registry processes and requirements, helping navigate interpretation, submissions and issue resolution as recognition decisions are made.

Clear responsibility allocation

Import structures often fail when responsibility for recognition risk is unclear. We focus on clarifying roles, obligations and risk allocation across producers, suppliers and traders, reducing exposure if eligibility or recognition is challenged during delivery.

How this typically works

Our involvement often begins before an import is finalised, supporting eligibility assessment, documentation alignment and registry engagement before volumes move. We remain involved as imports progress into delivery, helping manage recognition processes, address issues as they arise, and support ongoing interaction with Irish registry and regulatory frameworks.

Imported biomethane creates value in Ireland only when recognition, documentation and responsibility are aligned throughout delivery.

If you’re considering importing biomethane into Ireland, this is where recognition risk is addressed and managed.
