The Hearing was hosted by MEP Claude Turmes, European Parliament Rapporteur for renewable energy.

MEP Turmes, MEP Fiona Hall, [Tom Lindberg](https://www.ecohz.com/employees/tom-lindberg/) from Ecohz and Pedro Faria from [CDP](https://www.cdp.net/en) discussed how [Guarantees of Origin](https://www.ecohz.com/renewable-energy-solutions/guarantees-of-origin/) has developed into a mechanism important not only for disclosing information about the origin of renewable energy, but also as a tool that can alleviate the financing challenge many renewables projects are faced with in today‘s economic climate.

Nearly 60 parliamentarians, energy producers, NGO’s and regulators from across Europe gathered for a two hours green electricity talk.

The [GO2](https://www.ecohz.com/renewable-energy-solutions/go%c2%b2/) category was launched during our hearing in the EU Parliament. Since the launch, Ecohz GO2 has been presented for numerous commercial players and stakeholder organizations.
