Project HydroNet

Digital emission certificates for hydrogen


CustomerEnergy segmentServiceRegion
Public authority (BMWE)HydrogenDevelopment of a digital solutionGermany

Context: Within the HydroNet project, a publicly funded pilot in Germany’s Sauerland region aiming to build a local hydrogen economy based on decentralized H2 production and the existing pipeline infrastructure, digital end-to-end encrypted emission certificates are being developed for hydrogen produced and distributed across the value chain.

What we deliver: Leading the work package for digital emission certificates, collaborating with partners to evaluate regulatory and user requirements in order to develop prototype software enabling hydrogen value chain players to track emissions digitally.

Client benefit: Empowers hydrogen ecosystem participants with trusted, verifiable emission tracking from production to end-use, fostering regulatory/standard compliance and market confidence.
