Verzögerung bei der Grünstromzertifikat-Issuance durch mehrstufige Verifizierungsprozesse
Definition
Renewable energy certificates in Germany require recognition by UBA under HkNRV. Producers cannot claim THG Quota incentives (€3/kg for renewable hydrogen/electricity) until: (1) certification scheme is recognized by UBA, (2) third-party auditor is accredited, (3) production audited, (4) issuing body generates certificate, (5) registry processes entry. Each stage involves manual documentation, verification queues, and inter-organizational delays. Delayed certificate issuance = delayed THG Quota claims = working capital drag.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €50,000–€200,000 per facility annually (estimated 3–6 month delay × €3/kg bonus lost on 5,000–10,000 kg monthly production). Alternatively: 120–240 manual hours/year managing verification coordination.
- Frequency: Quarterly (per certification renewal cycle)
- Root Cause: Sequential multi-actor approval workflow with manual data handoffs between UBA, certification schemes (CertifHY, Redcert, ISCC), auditors, and registry operators.
