Setting the standard: defining clean hydrogen

The absence of clear international standards and certifications, defining what constitutes clean hydrogen, is causing market confusion and uncertainty. Variations in production methods and feedstocks results in significant differences in validating the carbon footprint of hydrogen. Robust international certification is required to ensure global industry standards and a common baseline for clean and low emission product qualifications. To ensure market integrity and fair competition, how can hydrogen producers and buyers collaborate with regulatory authorities to align, monitor and report clean hydrogen standards?

Attendee insights:

Gain a better understanding of why international standards and certifications to define clean hydrogen are critical in the development of the hydrogen economy, and how the standardisation of a cohesive and transparent hydrogen market, based on globally agreed standards, will build trust among stakeholders.
