Certification of the electricity used to produce hydrogen

This report offers an exhaustive examination of hydrogen certification schemes globally, a necessary step in advancing hydrogen as a viable energy solution for achieving decarbonization across sectors like transportation, heavy industry, and energy storage. Given that hydrogen's environmental impact varies based on production methods and energy sources, certification becomes critical in ensuring that hydrogen meets stringent low-carbon standards. Certification schemes establish parameters that define the technical and environmental quality of hydrogen, thus facilitating trade, supporting regulatory frameworks, and ensuring transparency.
