Welcome to the MiQ Registry

An MiQ Certificate represents the methane emissions performance attributes of 1 MMBtu of natural gas. Each certificate, which has a unique identifier, evidences where and when the gas was produced and the methane intensity of production. Unlike other frameworks that assess emissions at the national or company level, MiQ Certification is based on an independent Standard that is assessed at the facility or platform level. This more granular assessment by a third party provides transparent metrics for practically comparing gas supplies based on their methane emissions performance.

The MiQ Registry is the ledger where all MiQ Certificates are held throughout their lifecycle, from issuance to retirement, ensuring the authenticity of the gas and to avoid double-counting. More details are set out in the MiQ Program Guide.

To participate in the MiQ Program, organisations must register with the MiQ Registry as a Registrant and/or an Account Holder. Registrants provide information relating to facilities that are part of the MiQ Program. Account Holders may hold, transfer and retire MiQ Certificates. Account Holders may retire MiQ Certificates for their own consumption or on behalf of their clients.
