Guidance Documentation Supporting RFNBO and Low-Carbon Hydrogen Certification

CertifHy develops practical guidance documents to support the consistent and transparent implementation of the CertifHy EU Voluntary Scheme. These materials clarify how specific scheme requirements are to be interpreted and applied in practice by producers, auditors, traders and other stakeholders.

The guidance documentation complements the official CertifHy EU Voluntary Scheme Documents and helps Economic Operators achieve technically sound, compliant and economically viable RFNBO and Low-Carbon certification.

Many guidance documents are shaped through expert input from the CertifHy Stakeholder Platform, particularly Working Group 1 (Scheme Rules & Procedures) and Working Group 2 (CertifHy EU Voluntary Scheme Implementation).

Below you will find completed guidance documents, documents currently under consultation, and items under development. Some materials are publicly accessible, while others are restricted to Stakeholder Platform members, registered CertifHy EU Voluntary Scheme System users, and Economic Operators undergoing RFNBO or Low-Carbon Hydrogen precertification.
