Bureau Veritas becomes certified body for CertifHy™ in Europe

Bureau Veritas, a strategic partner supporting hydrogen energy players throughout the value chain,  becomes certified body for CertifHy™ in Europe.

The CertifHy™ Non-Governmental Certification Scheme offers certified proof of origin for hydrogen throughout Europe. CertifHy™ aims to facilitate and advance the production, procurement, and use of non-renewable, renewable, and low-carbon hydrogen.

It has developed the CertifHy™ Non-Governmental Certification (NGC) scheme in Europe to support the growth of the hydrogen market by providing a reliable tool for consumers to track hydrogen’s origin and environmental credentials. The methodology underpinning this scheme focuses on two aspects: the origin of the energy used, and the carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced. These non-governmental certificates facilitate the trade of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen throughout Europe.

Bureau Veritas performs around 300,000 audits each year, providing its clients with the same high level of quality worldwide, thanks to more than 7,400 experienced auditors and centralized support. With this new accreditation, its auditors can now also perform CertifHy™ audits of hydrogen production facilities to ensure that the energy produced meets the CertifHy™ NGC Scheme requirements.
