Certigy is a flexible Certificate Management System designed for issuing and tracking energy certificates. Certigy is primarily designed for the national certificate registry operators (issuing bodies) but can also be used as a certificate registry within any company to manage its certificate portfolio to plan and assess its carbon footprint.[1]
Function[edit]
The sustainably generated energy is added to the same power grid as non-renewable sources. When energy is distributed across the grid, the information about its source of origin is lost on the physical energy supply. A system of certificates has been created to match the appropriate amount of green energy generation with consumption. Certigy supports multiple certificate schemes and covers the whole lifecycle. The platform also supports Europe's EECS GO (Guarantees of Origin) and North America's REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) with native integration of AIB Hub and national Elcertificates. In the beginning, Certigy creates certificates based on the real production from certified sources, internal transfers, international exports, and imports. Then the tool secures transparent transactions from producers to consumers, and once the produced energy is consumed, Certigy terminates the certificate. In the near future, Certigy will also support coming new energy carriers like hydrogen, renewable fuels (based on EU RED II Policy), biomethane, carbon offsets.[2]
Projects[edit]
The first use of Certigy is as a new Norwegian registry that is the biggest registry in Europe. Thanks to this registry solution, the Norwegian issuing body can issue guarantees of origin (GOs) that specify the day of production, as compared with the month of production that is typical in other European single market countries. The Certigy software could also facilitate issuance with finer granularity, such as the specification of the hour of production. While this system has been implemented in Norway, it is based on the European Energy Certificate System (EECS) rules for GOs and could be implemented in all Association of Issuing Body (the organization that maintains the EECS rules) member countries.[3]
Certigy is being further developed according to market standards and also became a member of RECS International. RECS introduced "Green family" to their portfolio of products with Certigy included as one of the main products. Certigy provides the best-in-class user experience of energy certificates management. Certigy was designed especially for national certificate registry operators – Issuing Bodies as well as other market actors in need of efficient management of large certificate portfolios. Certigy supports multiple energy certificate schemes and the architecture of Certigy is open for adding new ones.[4]
