Lhyfe and Atmen partner on hydrogen traceability

The partnership offers buyers greater transparency and traceability of carbon footprint and will allow the tracking of green hydrogen through digital passports.

European green hydrogen supplier Lhyfe has said it has joined forces with certification and compliance platform Atmen to establish greater transparency within the hydrogen sector.

The companies will partner on an integrated compliance automation platform which is set to offer greater transparency and traceability across proccesses.

Deliveries of Lhyfe’s green hydrogen can now be accompanied by a Digital Product Passport, which the firms say provides buyers with a “complete and precise” description of the carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced, including detailed information on energy sourcing, embedded emissions and supply chain contribution.

This collaboration will start with the production unit in Bouin (France), which will later be extended to other Lhyfe sites.

Flore de Durfort, CEO of Atmen said: “Together, we are setting a new standard in traceability, enabling the hydrogen sector to meet the strictest sustainability requirements with precision and transparency.”

Lhyfe says it has also initiated steps to obtain RFNBO (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin) certification for hydrogen produced at its various sites. Once achieved, the digital passports will include the “RFNBO-compliant” label.

The RFNBO certification confirms that hydrogen is produced sustainably, via water electrolysis and from 100% renewable electricity, ensuring compliance with strict criteria defined by the European Union.

Antoine Hamon, Chief Operations Officer at Lhyfe, added: “With Digital Product Passports, we are enhancing trust in the sustainability of our hydrogen. We invite the sector to align with this practice, which will help develop the industry with the same spirit of trust.”
