Green Gas-certified products guarantee environmentally compatible biogas production along the entire production chain from the raw material to the end customer. The biogas is produced from biogenic residual materials, such as kitchen waste, green waste or waste from the organic waste garbage can. In the certification process, emphasis is also placed on regional processing of the feedstock to prevent long transport routes, reduce CO2-emissions and strengthen regional value creation.
