Collaborative structure

The CertifHy Stakeholder Platform operates under a collaborative governance structure. A Steering Committee, elected by the platform’s members, provides overall direction. This committee establishes Working Groups to address specific areas related to the CertifHy certification schemes and oversees their progress.

Working groups

Working Groups are temporary forums established by the Steering Committee to focus on specific aspects of the hydrogen certification schemes. These groups allow members to contribute their specialised knowledge and expertise, fostering collaboration in shaping the future of the scheme.

The role of the stakeholder platform

The CertifHy Stakeholder Platform plays a critical role in shaping the future of hydrogen certification by:

Facilitating Collaborative Scheme Development: The platform fosters discussions and knowledge sharing among stakeholders, incorporating diverse perspectives into CertifHy’s hydrogen certification schemes. Working Groups address specific areas and propose improvements, ensuring the schemes remain relevant and effective.

Identifying Regulatory Needs: Through collaboration, the platform can identify gaps or areas for improvement in current or future hydrogen certification regulations. Stakeholder input informs policymakers and regulators in developing effective legislation.

Building Consensus: The platform’s collaborative environment allows stakeholders to discuss and reach consensus on key aspects of hydrogen certification schemes. This consensus can be presented to policymakers and regulators, strengthening the case for incorporating stakeholder-backed recommendations into future legislation.

By facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing, the CertifHy Stakeholder Platform serves as a bridge between industry, scheme developers, and policymakers. This ensures CertifHy’s schemes are practical, effective, and aligned with future legislative needs.

Membership access

The CertifHy Stakeholder Platform is open to a variety of organisations involved in the hydrogen sector, including producers, distributors, consumers, technology providers, and research institutions.

Meetings and activities

The Stakeholder Platform convenes plenary sessions at least once per calendar year. Working Groups hold additional meetings (full sessions and focused topic sessions) as needed. Members also have access to exclusive online resources, webinars, and networking events.

Governance

The CertifHy Stakeholder Platform operates under a transparent and well-defined governance structure. This structure ensures balanced representation from key stakeholder groups and fosters robust decision-making processes aligned with the evolution of CertifHy’s certification schemes.
