Session 1.3 CertifHy 2: overview of main achievements

Phase 2Phase 1

Define a widely acceptabledefinition of green hydrogen

CertifHy activities – global overview

Determine how to designand implement a robust EUwide GO scheme

Set-up a well-represented Stakeholder platform

2014 2016 2017 2018/9 2020s..

Finalise the scheme’s designensuring it can be the main routeto guarantee the origin of green &low carbon hydrogen across EU MS

Run a pilot scheme to test the design

• Lessons from the pilot have led to the final design of the scheme, its procedures and definitions (endorsed by the Steering Group on the 11th of March 2019)

• Methodological challenges with regards to H2 footprint calculation were addressed and a path forward defined

• The ‘Residual mix’ issue is better understood, but the way forward needs further elaboration

• A roadmap for further scale-up has been developed. It sets out our perspective for the future of CertifHy and defines the actions towards building a dual hydrogen certification infrastructure for Guarantees of Origin AND for Certification of renewable hydrogen in transport.

These will be further touched upon in other sessions later today.

27

Thanks to the CertifHy Pilot a big step has been made towards full scale implementation

Hydrogen will play an important role in the decarbonization of Europe, and is clearly mentioned in the RED 2: new instruments are to be created

We aim to develop an EU-wide system that covers both GOs and “certificates” recognisingfundamental synergies between the two.

CertifHy CertifHy: new development targets…!

CertifHy has initiated a joint working group to develop a common standard for GOs for any energy carrier

• Following RED II, Member States and designated competent bodies now have to comply with standard EN 16325.

• CertifHy stakeholders have discussed recasting this standard in order to address future needs in the framework of RED II:

• A consensus has developed on the need for coherent standardisation of GOs for all types of energies. This could be addressed through a core standard applicable to GOs for any type of energy carrier, with energy-specifics detailed in schemes.

• As standardisation is a slow process, while markets may be more dynamic, a CEN standard covering all energies will cover the fundamental issues not expected to need short-term adjustments, while issues that are subject to market developments should be covered by the schemes such as EECS for electricity GOs or CertifHy for H2 GOs.

• Recently, CEN-CLC/JTC 6 ‘Hydrogen in energy systems’ and CEN-CLC/JTC 14 ‘Energy management, energy audits, energy savings’ submitted a joint letter to ask for the establishment of a CEN-CLC Joint Working Group.

• This Joint Working Group would have the task to revise EN 16325:2013 + A1:2015 ‘Guarantees of Origin related to energy - Guarantees of Origin for Electricity’ (JW002006) developed by the CEN-CLC/JWG 2 ‘Guarantees of origin and Energy certificates’, now disbanded.
