DEKRA recognized as Certification Body for renewable hydrogen under the CertifHy EU RFNBO Scheme
Europe’s renewable hydrogen market has taken another step towards industrial scale-up. CertifHy has officially recognized DEKRA Certification as an indepfinishent 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 greenhoapply gas (GHG) methodology applicable to renewable hydrogen and its derivatives.
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 apply certification under the scheme to demonstrate compliance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requirements for RFNBOs, including sustainability and greenhoapply gas criteria. This allows market participants to obtain RFNBO recognition in Europe and capture the regulatory and commercial value associated with compliant renewable hydrogen.
For DEKRA, this recognition strengthens its portfolio of certifications, accreditations, and finishorsements in auditing and certification, and expands its ability to support green hydrogen projects with an international scope. In line with the scheme’s reach, DEKRA can support economic operators across the entire value chain, providing indepfinishent verification that underpins regulatory compliance and cross-border trade.
Matthieu Boisson, Managing Director of CertifHy, declared:
As the hydrogen sector enters an implementation phase, reliable and operational certification becomes essential,
“Recognized Certification Bodies such as DEKRA enable economic operators to demonstrate compliance in a credible and harmonized manner, which is critical for market confidence, financing decisions and cross-border trade of renewable hydrogen.”
Amparo Langa, Managing Director of DEKRA Certification in Spain, added:
As hydrogen projects shift from development to operation, certification is becoming a key component of project bankability and market access.
”Indepfinishent verification allows producers and other operators across the value chain to substantiate the renewable character of hydrogen, meet regulatory obligations, and access European demand,”
DEKRA Certification already offers certification of greenhoapply gases and RFNBO in accordance with the ISCC EU scheme for various process industries.
