This program includes leading AIB’s ‘conversion roadmap’, facilitating that all 30+ EECS Issuing bodies can import certificates from all energy carriers, updating the data fields on EECS Certificates and preparing their transfer over the AIB Hub. (2021-2022)
  • Lead author of harmonized rules for handling certificates at energy conversion in the REGATRACE project (2019 – 2022)
  • Lead FaStGO Project that drafted a proposal for the CEN EN16325 standard for guarantees of origin.(2020)
  • Lead the workgroup that extended the European Energy Certificate System (EECS) to include a gas scheme and rules for handling energy carrier conversion (2019)
  • Drafted legislation to extend guarantees of origin for electricity to gases and heating and cooling and see it unanimously approved in Belgian-Flemish parliament in 3 months time. (2019)
  • Audited the national electricity and gas guarantee of origin systems at multiple European Issuing Bodies (2015-now)
  • Designed and upgraded origin verification webtools for energy consumers in Belgium – Flanders: GreenCheck and Supplier Origin Comparator , based on supervision of origin disclosure to electricity consumers in Flanders (2011-2019)
