No, It is not permitted for a (paper) trader to buy or sell a sustainability declaration for biomethane without the link to the respective amount of physical sustainable material. The transfer of a PoS must always be accompanied by the transfer of ownership of a respective quantity of sustainable material. If System Users should find themselves with a PoS for biogas/biomethane without the respective quantity of sustainable material at the end of a mass balancing period, it is not possible to transfer those credits into the next mass balance period. Please see the latest version of ISCC EU System Document 203 "Traceability and Chain of Custody" (chapter 3.4.8) for more information.
