DEKRA recognized as certification body for renewable hydrogen under the CertifHy EU RFNBO scheme
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that CertifHy has officially recognized DEKRA Certification as an independent Certification Body under the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme, authorizing the company to carry out certification, pre-certification and re-certification audits in line with EU criteria for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO).
Certification under the scheme enables economic operators to demonstrate compliance with the European Union’s requirements for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). It verifies sustainability criteria, traceability and the greenhouse gas (GHG) methodology applicable to renewable hydrogen and its derivatives, according to the report.
The CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme applies to hydrogen placed on the European market, regardless of where it is produced. Producers both inside and outside the EU can use certification under the scheme to demonstrate compliance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requirements for RFNBOs, including sustainability and greenhouse gas criteria. This allows market participants to obtain RFNBO recognition in Europe and capture the regulatory and commercial value associated with compliant renewable hydrogen, the report added.
For DEKRA, this recognition strengthens its portfolio of certifications, accreditations, and endorsements in auditing and certification, and expands its ability to support green hydrogen projects with an international scope.
