What is Green Gold Label (GGL)?

Green Gold Label (GGL) is one of the oldest and most recognized certification schemes for sustainable biomass. Established in 2002, the GGL system ensures that biomass used for energy production meets strict sustainability requirements throughout the entire supply chain, from raw material sourcing to final energy production.

The certification focuses on traceability, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and sustainability practices to ensure that biomass resources are responsibly produced and traded in international markets.

Why GGL Certification Matters

As global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, many energy markets require biomass suppliers to demonstrate sustainability and compliance with environmental standards. Green Gold Label certification helps companies meet these expectations and strengthens their credibility in international markets.

Obtaining GGL certification can provide several important advantages for organizations involved in biomass production and trade.

Key Benefits of GGL Certification

• Market Access
  GGL certification is widely recognized by power plants and energy markets, particularly in Europe and Japan.

• Regulatory Compliance
  The certification supports compliance with international sustainability regulations and environmental requirements.

• Customer Confidence
  Certified biomass demonstrates transparency and responsible sourcing practices.

• Competitive Advantage
  Companies with recognized sustainability certification are often better positioned in global biomass markets.

• Preparation and Implementation
  Implementing GGL requirements within the organization’s management system.

• Internal Audit
  Conducting internal checks to ensure readiness for certification assessment.

• External Audit
  An independent auditor verifies compliance with certification requirements.
