 CertifHy EU RFNBO precertification have been successfully conducted
inside and outside the EU

HyNetherlands was the first CertifHy RFNBO precertification project. Other precertification have
followed, including H2 to Ammonia to H2 in Europe, Power to Ammonia projects in LATAM and MENA

“Certification of renewable-based hydrogen is key to

ensure product qualification, while growing parallelly the
maturity of infrastructure projects. The process
HyNetherlands went through, jointly with the partners,
strongly increased its ability towards effectively
delivering certified products to customers once
legislation is in place.” Gregory Bartholomé, Project
Manager HyNetherlands

"This certification process will help us ensure circularity

by using biogenic CO2 from non-recyclable waste to
contribute to achieving renewable energy targets as set by
the European Union with the production of renewable
fuels." Bernard Kemper, CEO EEW Energy from Waste
GmbH, 100% shareholder of EEW Energy from Waste
Delfzijl B.V.
