In France, Lhyfe, a producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen for industry and mobility, and Atmen, an integrated compliance automation platform, have decided to collaborate to set a new standard of excellence in carbon footprint traceability and transparency within the hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) sectors. Lhyfe said that it had been eagerly awaiting the approval by the European Commission of the first “RFNBO” (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin) certification schemes for renewable hydrogen. Following their publication in December 2024, Lhyfe has begun the necessary steps to obtain RFNBO certification for its production. The RFNBO certification confirms that hydrogen is produced sustainably (via water electrolysis) and from 100% renewable electricity. It includes a comprehensive carbon footprint assessment of this production process. The certification ensures compliance with the strict criteria defined by the European Union and adherence to the highest environmental standards, thereby strengthening trust among partners, clients, and investors, the firm said. Each delivery of Lhyfe’s green hydrogen can now be accompanied by a Digital Product Passport—an innovation that provides a complete and precise description of the carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced. The company has also initiated steps to obtain RFNBO certification for hydrogen produced at its various sites. Once achieved, the digital passports will include the “RFNBO-compliant” label.
