Lhyfe has made significant strides in the green hydrogen sector by obtaining the European Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) certification for its Bouin site in Vendée, becoming the first French producer to achieve this milestone. The certification not only validates the sustainability of Lhyfe's hydrogen production but also opens doors to new support mechanisms for the industrial sector. This certification is a result of meeting rigorous production and traceability requirements set by the European Commission. The RFNBO certification has positioned Lhyfe as a leader in the French green hydrogen market, allowing its clients to demonstrate the sustainability of their purchased hydrogen and access national and European support systems. The company's compliance process involves the Atmen platform, along with partners like CertifHy and Tüv Süd, ensuring adherence to the entire production chain's green standards. By delivering the first RFNBO-certified hydrogen batch to Sables d’Olonne, Lhyfe has marked a significant milestone in the country's green energy sector. The RFNBO certification not only benefits Lhyfe's clients in terms of reducing their carbon footprint but also aids in their eligibility for financial incentives aimed at decarbonization efforts. Lhyfe's ambitious growth plans include expanding its production sites in France and Germany, with projects ranging from 5 MW to 100 MW. The company has secured substantial grants and financing, reflecting the growing interest in green hydrogen projects. Lhyfe's dedication to certifying its sites and enhancing the availability of traceable green hydrogen on a European scale demonstrates a positive outlook for the green hydrogen sector in Europe.
