Australia’s Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme provides government-backed certification for clean energy products. It records where energy was produced and the emissions intensity across its lifecycle.

Australia’s Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme provides government-backed certification for clean energy products. It records where energy was produced and the emissions intensity across its lifecycle.

REGO Certificates

The Renewable Electricity GO (REGO) certificates provide information on when, where and how renewable electricity was produced – allowing users to make verifiable claims about renewable electricity use.

PGO Certificates

Product GO (PGO) certificates allow producers, exporters and consumers to prove where a product was made, and the emissions associated across defined production, transport, and use stages.

As production and transactions scale, manual processes increase compliance exposure.

Fragmented Sustainability Data

Energy, emissions, and production data stored in disconnected systems reduce traceability clarity.

Inconsistent Emissions Intensity Tracking

Lifecycle emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 lack consistent methodology and reproducible calculations.

Weak Audit Documentation

Historical records are incomplete, decentralised, or difficult to reconstruct under formal verification review.

Certificate and Data Misalignment

Reported emissions intensity is not consistently linked to verified production batches and movements.

Manual & Disconnected Tracking

Spreadsheets and manual registry updates may work at small volumes. As supply increases, reconciliation and audit complexity rise.

Structured Digital Traceability Infrastructure

Consistent lifecycle documentation aligned with GO requirements. Audit-ready records supporting certificate issuance.

Before participating in the Australian GO scheme, your organisation should be able to answer:

• Can we trace production data at a batch level?
• Is renewable electricity use documented and verifiable?
• Are lifecycle emissions intensity calculations reproducible?
• Is transport data linked to product-level reporting?
• Can we provide structured evidence during verification?
