Europe’s first green hydrogen certificates issued in the Netherlands
Hydrogen exchange initiative HyXchange presents successful pilot of Guarantees of Origin for green hydrogen, operational in the Netherlands as of October this year.
The issue of green Guarantees of Origin for hydrogen in the Netherlands has started as of October 2022. Netherlands is the first country in Europe with such a system. The associated system was evaluated in recent months in a pilot by hydrogen exchange initiative HyXchange in cooperation with Vertogas, the certifying body for biogas, now also for green hydrogen. A total of eighteen market parties participated in this successful pilot (practical test). HyXchange aims to rapidly expand certificate and hydrogen trading, aimed to also facilitate trade between European countries and hydrogen imports from countries outside the EU.
