ACL Approved as DENA Auditors
Supporting the Growing International Biomethane Market
ACL is pleased to announce that we have been officially approved as DENA (German Energy Agency) auditors, strengthening our ability to support biomethane operators and traders across Europe. This approval comes alongside the appointment of our newest team member, Valesca von Usslar, who brings valuable expertise to further expand our auditing services.
Why This Matters for Biomethane Operators
The biomethane market is experiencing rapid growth, particularly with the cross-border trade of biomethane Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs). As demand for renewable gases increases, so does the need for robust, recognised auditing to ensure traceability, compliance, and market confidence.
With DENA approval, ACL can now provide assurance to biomethane sites and market participants looking to trade across borders, helping unlock new commercial opportunities while supporting the transition to a low-carbon energy system.
Why DENA Accreditation is Interesting for UK Clients
For UK biomethane producers and traders, DENA accreditation opens the door to European markets. While domestic mechanisms such as the Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) and Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) have been key drivers, the ability to demonstrate compliance with DENA’s recognised auditing framework allows UK clients to:
Access new trading opportunities by ensuring their biomethane meets the requirements of European buyers.
Strengthen credibility and transparency in sustainability reporting, particularly when exporting RGGOs.
Stay ahead of market growth by positioning themselves for future cross-border trade expansion.
In short, DENA approval makes it easier for UK clients to link their operations into the growing international biomethane supply chain.
Our Broader Services for Biomethane Sites
In addition to DENA auditing, ACL offers a comprehensive range of certification and audit services tailored to the needs of biomethane producers and suppliers, including:
ISCC certification
Annual sustainability audits for RHI, GGSS, and RO schemes
RTFO Verification
PAS110 certification
AD Certification Scheme audits
These services enable biomethane operators to demonstrate compliance, access support mechanisms, and enhance market credibility.
Looking Ahead
Our DENA auditor approval is another step forward in ACL’s commitment to supporting the renewable gas sector. We look forward to working with biomethane producers, traders, and stakeholders as this exciting market continues to grow.
