At CertiQ we issue certificates for energy that is generated from four sustainable sources: the sun, wind, water and biomass. CertiQ has been designated to do this by the Dutch government. The Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) that we issue, in electronic form, are the only valid proof in the Netherlands that energy has been generated sustainably. Certificates issued by CertiQ can be traded within Europe.
