CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme: Building the Foundation for a Thriving RFNBO Market
CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme provides a clear and verifiable framework, benefiting all stakeholders in the development of the RFNBO market. Producers gain confidence to invest, consumers can make informed choices about truly sustainable fuels, and member states are equipped with a powerful tool to define clear RFNBO criteria within their national roadmaps for achieving EU-wide renewable energy targets.
CertifHy’s Proactive Role in Shaping the Future
CertifHy played a proactive role throughout the development process. The organization went beyond simply submitting a scheme; it actively participated in shaping the future of the industry by:
- Facilitating Collaboration: CertifHy leveraged its stakeholder platform and working groups to gather real-world questions and concerns from industry members. These were then addressed directly with the European Commission through open dialogue and workshops.
- Precertification Audits: CertifHy collaborated with certification bodies and renewable hydrogen experts worldwide to ensure precertification audits were conducted using the EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme. This not only prepared these companies for full certification, but also provided valuable insights to help refine the EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme and ensure it effectively addresses practical needs.
The Road Ahead: Full Recognition and Industry Growth
With the technical assessment complete and the validity of the scheme approved, the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme is now well-positioned for its official recognition as a EU Voluntary Scheme. This final step will allow economic operators across the globe to seamlessly integrate the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme into their roadmaps for achieving EU-wide renewable energy targets.
The approval of the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme represents a monumental step forward in the realization of a hydrogen-powered future.
