In 2024, Finland experienced a substantial 86% increase in the import of biogas Guarantees of Origin (GO) from Europe compared to the previous year, signaling a significant shift towards biogas as a replacement for natural gas. The rise in European biogas imports to Finland is driven by the country's insufficient domestic production to meet the increasing demand. Biogas is crucial for Finland's carbon neutrality objectives, and its use is on the rise to achieve these goals. Gasgrid, the gas transmission company in Finland, administers the gas GO registry and issues GOs for clean gases like biogas and hydrogen produced from renewable sources. The issuance of GOs ensures the verification of the origin of gases and plays a key role in meeting Finland's carbon neutrality targets. Most of the imported gas GOs in Finland in 2024 originated from Denmark, with recent developments allowing transfers between France and Finland. The electronic transfer of European Energy Certificate Systems (EECS) GOs among member countries through the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) Hub is a vital process to validate the source of imported gases. Gasgrid has been instrumental in developing the GO system and collaborating with market participants to boost the use of biogas in Finland. Biogas finds applications in various sectors including heat and electricity production, transportation, and industrial processes. While most member countries operate within the AIB Hub, countries like Switzerland, Lithuania, and the Netherlands are preparing to join, with Switzerland's GOs not yet valid for verifying gas origin in Finland. Despite the electronic transfer system, manual transfers of GOs between some countries like France and Denmark are still in place. The continuous growth in GO imports reflects the increasing adoption of clean gases in Finland, reinforcing the country's commitment to a sustainable energy transition and carbon neutrality.
