The “Let Green Gas Count” campaign, coordinated by a coalition of eight organisations, including the European Biogas Association (EBA), has published High-Level Recommendations on the treatment of low-carbon gases in corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting.
Launched in February 2025, “Let Green Gas Count” is an industry-led campaign calling for clarity around market instruments for renewable gaseous fuels in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
The coalition urges the GHG Protocol governing bodies to recognise robust market instruments, such as certified green gas certificates, in Scope 1 emissions reporting.
This change would enable companies to account for their use of green gas transparently and consistently, supporting faster and more effective decarbonisation.
The coalition’s High-Level Recommendations aims to act as interim guidance for the treatment of low-carbon gases in corporate greenhouse gas reporting until the GHG Protocol publishes its standard.
More and more multinational companies are showing strong interest in sourcing biomethane. By harmonising GHG reporting rules for biomethane certificates, our Recommendations give these corporate buyers the clarity they need to act while staying consistent with the existing GHG Protocol Framework. This is essential to unlocking the powerful pull of corporate demand and accelerating investment in new green gas projects, supporting the EU’s ambition to scale up renewable energy and strengthen energy security, explained Harmen Dekker, CEO of the European Biogas Association.
Clean Fuels Accounting workshop
In support of the Let Green Gas Count campaign and adjacent efforts in terms of corporate GHG accounting for clean fuels, the coalition will be hosting a “Clean Fuels Accounting” workshop on September 24, 2025, as part of New York Climate Week.
The purpose of the workshop, which will bring together corporate sustainability managers, auditors, and policymakers, is to foster alignment in clean fuels procurement practices for Scope 1 decarbonization.
The “Let Green Gas Count” campaign was initiated when the World Biogas Association (WBA), Eurogas, the European Biogas Association (EBA), the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) and the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) issued a joint letter to members of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol governance bodies, calling for the key role of market-based instruments for renewable gases to be recognised in the Protocol’s Scope 1 inventory.
The letter was signed by over 230 organisations within the green gas community.
