Authoritative answers about Australia’s Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme. Covers Clean Energy Regulator (CER) framework pathways, tracking lifecycle emissions intensity via Product GO (PGO) certificates, verifying renewable generation attributes through Renewable Electricity GO (REGO) certificates, navigating phased cost-recovery mechanics, and aligning product-based “well-to-gate” data with global export and Future Made in Australia supply chain requirements.

Book a friendly callThe Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme is a voluntary Australian Government scheme that verifies renewable electricity and tracks the emissions intensity of products such as hydrogen. It has two parts, the Renewable Electricity Guarantee of Origin (REGO) and the Product Guarantee of Origin (PGO).
A Renewable Electricity Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificate is issued for each megawatt hour of renewable electricity generated or dispatched by a registered facility, and shows where and when it was produced. REGO certificates can be traded or retired and can support market-based emissions reporting, including under NGER.
A Product Guarantee of Origin (PGO) certificate is created when an eligible product, such as hydrogen, is produced. It records how the product was made and its emissions intensity, and information on transport, storage and consumption is added as it moves through the supply chain.
An LGC is a Renewable Energy Target certificate for one megawatt hour of eligible generation, used mainly to meet liable entities' obligations and ending with the RET in 2030. A REGO certificate is a voluntary Guarantee of Origin certificate that records when and where renewable electricity was produced and continues after 2030.
