Published: · Updated:
Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) accredited B3 S.A. as a registry for Biomethane Origin Guarantee Certificates (CGOB). The board approved the accreditation on 9 October and the agency announced it on 13 October. ANP said the addition strengthens infrastructure for future certificate issuance, registration, trading and retirement.
B3 brings the number of accredited registries to three; ANP also lists seven origin-certification agents and three bookkeepers. A CGOB is intended to document biomethane’s environmental attributes and trace it from production through commercialization. The accreditation does not mean the market has begun operating; the agency described it as part of preparations for a future launch.
