FAQs

Read the frequently asked questions below that cover the who, what, why, when and where of MiQ.

When do I need to request the issuance of Certificates?

We recommend doing this once per month after you have established final operational numbers for the month, and you have the required evidence to make an issue request. You have four calendar months from the last day of the month of operation to make an issue request. For example, you must request the issuance of certificates for January 2023 by 31 May 2023.

Do I need to own the account into which Certificates will be issued for my facility?

No. You can specify any active trading account on the MiQ Digital Registry for the ICG Certificates of your facility to be issued into. This account can be held by you or a third-party organisation.

What evidence do I need to provide when I make a request for the issuance of Certificates?

The evidence required depends on the supply-chain segment of the facility in question. MiQ provides operators with an information pack on the evidence required for monthly ICG Certificate issuance on request. Please discuss with your MiQ contact for further information.

How often should I request the issuance of Certificates?

You can request the issuance of ICG Certificates for a month once you have the relevant information and required evidence available to provide to the MiQ Digital Registry for that month’s operation.

When can I request the issuance of Certificates?

You can request the issuance of Certificates as soon as you have collated the relevant information and required evidence available to provide to the MiQ Digital Registry for that month’s operation. You have four calendar months from the last day of the month of operation to make an issue request. For example, you must request the issuance of certificates for January 2023 by 31 May 2023.

What quantity do I need to report for issuance of certificates?

The quantity reported should be the sales quantity of the facility net of shrinkage from processing, etc. The quantity must be reported in MMBtus (one certificate is valid for one MMBtu).
