Biomethane Certification in Ireland

Brendan O’Riordan – Green Gas Certification Project Lead

GMARG- 18th April 2019

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Green Gas Certification - Background

  • Biomethane = a renewable energy source

‒ a green gas, identical properties to fossil gas (methane) ‒ Produced from biodegradable organic materials (e.g. organic waste, sludge, silage/grass, slurry, etc.) ‒ A clean, renewable & carbon-neutral fuel

  • Biomethane Certificates

‒ Each certificate represents a guarantee that 1 MWh of biomethane has been injected into the GNI grid. ‒ Certificate issued to the producer of biomethane, who can transfer ownership to an end-consumer of gas.

  • Valued by end-consumers = using a carbon-neutral fuel & EU-ETS
  • National Targets - facilitate overall national reporting of GHG emissions reductions
  • National Schemes – facilitate interface for both BOS for transport & SSRH for biomethane in heat

19

slide-20
SLIDE 20

RED II, Art.19: Elements of a Guarantee of Origin (‘GO’)

M.S. must issue a GO for each MWh of energy produced from all renewable sources Proof of Origin

 From which Green Gas production plant did this green gas originate from?

 Name, Location, Type, Capacity

Proof of Amount

 How much green gas was produced?  When was is produced/injected?

Proof of Quality

 Sustainability Criteria: GHG Value

20

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Green Gas Certification Scheme for Ireland

  • System to issue certs for biomethane

produced & injected into grid.

  • Processes to trace biomethane from

production to consumption

  • Auditor to verify origin of biomethane

within the Registry

‒ inspect production plant, feedstocks and processes, ‒ verify quantity & quality

  • Comply with RED II sustainability criteria

& classifications

Green Gas Registry Operator – ‘Back Office’

  • GNI in process of implementing the Green Gas registry for Ireland
  • Provide for different account types = GG Producer, Trader, Auditor…
  • Receive & validate metered quantities of bio-methane = SCADA feed to the Registry
  • Issue, split, transfer & cancel certs
  • Different sustainability criteria applies to use in heat, transport & electricity sectors – certs to

record eligible sectors for trading

  • Certs must be issued within 12m of production = System to be implemented early 2020 to

register first production and injection of biomethane in Ireland

  • EU examples – biomethane being produced & certified in many EU countries by TSO’s

‒ E.g. Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Spain.

  • SEMO - currently issuing certificates for renewable electricity produced in Ireland.

24

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Certification Entity – ‘Front Office’

  • Develop standard practices/procedures to be followed for auditing service
  • All biomethane produced in Ireland must comply with RED II & meet sustainability criteria.
  • Implement a GHG Calculation Tool. Ensure auditors are suitably trained and qualified.
  • Flexibility to adapt to any other requirements or compliance obligations, e.g. incentive or

subsidy schemes.

  • Primary Authority – DAFM oversight required at all AD’s in Ireland.
  • Biofuels Obligation Scheme – Green Gas certification can deliver solution to meet

requirements of the BOS for gaseous transport fuels.

25

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Next Steps

  • Develop detailed concept for an ‘interim’ solution
  • Identify IT system to support Back Office functionality – Grexel
  • Identify certification system & auditing process to verify GHG properties

‒ ISCC EU Scheme: ‘Voluntary’ scheme recognised by EU

  • Stakeholder Engagements

‒ Workshops in 2019 to be arranged to update stakeholders & take feedback

  • 2. Objectives

 Provide an overview of current Long Term No Access status and activity  Determine Shipping Community priorities with respect to Long Term No Access sites  Provide insight on our strawman proposals for managing Long Term No Access sites  Maintain full transparency and agree a joint approach for managing Long Term No Access sites

slide-31
SLIDE 31

What is a Long Term No Access (LTNA) site? A site where an NDM meter read at a credit meter has not been

  • btained by the Transporter, or supplied by an End User, after 3

consecutive scheduled attempts or within a period of twelve months.

  • f 1st March 2019

8,702 How do GNI propose to manage LTNA sites? Develop a process for the day-to-day management of LTNA sites that focusses on End User communication, encouraging End Users to dial-a-read or to upload a read onto our website. Why are LTNA sites a concern? AQ cannot be accurately calculated for a site without an actual meter

  • read. The longer the duration without a meter read, the higher the

risk of generating an inaccurate bill, either over or under-estimated.

  • 3. Manage Long Term No Access Meters

Strawman process for discussion – Obligations

32

  • Before developing a strawman process to manage LTNA sites, we revisited the Meter Data Services

Procedure (MDS) to confirm the Transporter obligations with respect to managing LTNA sites:

MDS Procedure

(Version 3.0, Approved 2nd December 2008)

Transporter Shipper 1.3.1 The Transporter shall endeavour to carry

  • ut two additional reads during the summer

period at LTNA meters; these meters may be visited outside normal working hours.  Meter Reading department co-ordinate two out of cycle reads for credit meters where a read has not been obtained after 3 scheduled attempts.  Meter Reading department developed an automatic text notification issued to End Users once their site falls into the LTNA category. 3.5.2

  • This bi-annual report lists any relevant

meters that have fallen into the category of Long Term No Access.

  • The Registered Shipper will have the

responsibility to direct any necessary action in accordance with MPD16 – Creation and Completion of Operational Site Works Request for NDM sites.

  • The Transporter will endeavour to visit

these sites an additional two times during the summer months in accordance with section 1.3.  GNI have the capability to generate a bi-annual report listing LTNA meters per Shipper and circulate via email. For discussion:  Is there an appetite for a bi-annual report?  What action do Shippers propose to take upon receipt of this report?  GNI have generated Shipper Reports and can provide to Shippers after this presentation.

Strawman process for discussion – Items for Discussion

34 # Item for discussion Shipper input required A LTNA Shipper Report: Transporter to issue a bi-annual report listing LTNA sites to the Registered Shipper. GNI also propose to issue a monthly report listing ‘new’ LTNA sites.

  • Is there an appetite for a monthly report?
  • What action do Shippers propose to take upon receipt of a bi-annual and

monthly report?

  • What are the Shipping Community priorities and concerns with respect

to LTNA sites? B End User Communication: GNI require updated End User contact information (house address; mobile / house phone number; email) to enable effective End User communication.

  • How do Shippers currently communicate updated End User contact

information to GNI?

  • How can both GNI and Shipping Community streamline this End User

contact information data transfer? C End User Estimation Increase: GNI propose to pilot an increased estimation of an End User meter read by 25% of AQ, in the event a meter read is not provided after a set of out-of- cycle site visits. The Meter Reading department will complete this

  • verestimation manually.
  • Do Shippers support the proposal for an End User increased bill?
  • How do Shippers propose to communicate an End User increased bill -

formal letter, bill insert etc.?

  • What is the Shipping Community stance on CRU applied End User bill

discounts in the vent an End User makes a complaint? Do these discounts incentivise an End User to not provide a meter read? D Escalation Options: GNI propose to pilot an escalation to the Registered Shipper if no meter read is received after completing 3 sets of 'out-of-cycle' meter reads. Potential escalation options include:

  • Continue cycling through bill overestimation
  • Raise request to isolate the service if access cannot be gained to obtain

a meter read.

  • Can Shipping Community advise on appropriate escalation action?

  • Proposal to co-ordinate a Metering Process Workshop

‒ to review processes in detail and agree Ways of Working. ‒ Potential areas for discussion:

  • Long term No Access Meters
  • Non-Registering (zero consumption recorded) Meters

GNI Service Isolation Overview

Issue Detail Cost range of a cut-off  Average service cut-off per site (base): €700  Average cost of reconnection per site (base): €900  Total cost per site (base): €1,600* *Total cost can increase by 30 – 80% for Out of Hours service isolations (depending on road type). Additional Considerations:  Traffic Management Plan required to proceed.  Road Opening License required to proceed.  Local Authority input required to proceed e.g. Wicklow Area does not allow service isolations for credit purposes.  GNI must contact Supplier for a Meter Fit WO to reconnect End User at a cost of €240. Risks of a cut-off  Service isolation is too costly to be considered as an escalation option for an enduring process.  Significant reputational risk as GNI would be cutting-off (LTNA) End Users consistently paying their bill – They simply haven’t provided GNI with an actual read.

Group Outcome

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Overview of Revenue Protection Working Group

42

  • The Revenue Protection Working Group Titled “Arrangements to Support Code of Practice” has concluded with the 6th

and final meeting held on March 22nd 2019.

  • Working Group output:
  • Code of Practice signed off by CRU/Implemented by stakeholders
  • Development of 3 Revenue Protection Market Process Definitions
  • Introduction of new RP Market Message (G2401N)
  • Reporting Arrangements discussed and next steps agreed
  • RP Undercharge implementation
  • RP Debt Flagging consultation
  • Recommendations and next steps identified, primarily focused around reporting arrangements and market message

trial (G2401N) as well as embedding the market processes and code of practice.

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Revenue Protection Market Process Definitions

  • MPD 24: Identification of Unauthorised Interference

‒ Identification of suspect gas point by GNI or supplier; ‒ On-site inspection of meter to investigate suspect interference; ‒ Off-site meter testing to confirm interference

  • MPD 25: Recovery Siteworks Costs

‒ Process of recovering siteworks costs ‒ Outlines correspondence paths with customer ‒ Disconnection/reconnection process

  • MPD 26: Recovery of Energy Costs

‒ Calculation of RP undercharge by GNI ‒ Communication of the RP undercharge to suppliers ‒ Application of the RP undercharge

All have been approved by the CRU and are implemented within the industry.

43

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Market Message Trial

  • New revenue protection market message is set out in MPD 25 – Identification of unauthorised interference.
  • Released as part of the schema change earlier this year.
  • G2401N Market Message was developed in order to give suppliers an update to the Revenue Protection process

from the point of confirmed tamper through to case closed via payment or cancellation.

  • Agreement within the working group to pilot the implementation of the market message from May 1st 2019 –

November 1st 2019.

  • Aim of pilot is to assess in November 2019 whether the G2401N market message or confirmed tamper reporting

monthly serves as a better measure of confirmed tamper progression.

  • Once pilot is complete, Suppliers and GNI will meet to discuss success or preference to continue with monthly

reporting of confirmed tampers.

SLIDE 45

Annual Report for Industry

  • Working group has proposed the development of a Revenue Protection annual report
  • GNI will work with the CRU over the coming months on developing the content of this report with the intention to

deliver this by end of Q1 each year.

  • Outline of Proposed Content:

‒ Industry summary of Revenue Protection activity ‒ Retail/Industry developments ‒ Data – Inspection no’s, confirmed tampering no’s, RP Undercharge Read information. ‒ Prosecutions – overview of the year ‒ Any information relating to safety campaigns run throughout the year/Media Coverage ‒ Stakeholder engagement summary

  • Suppliers have agreed to look at providing a summary of cost recovery figures (RP undercharge) on an annual basis
  • A separate annual detailed data report is proposed for Suppliers, building on the information supplied to industry but

including a more detailed breakdown of the data.
