Lhyfe obtains renewable hydrogen industry’s highest ecological standard
One of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for the decarbonisation of mobility and industry has announced that its Bouin site has been RFNBO (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin) certified since May 13.
Lhyfe has revealed that with this certificate, customers can now provide proof of the sustainability of the molecule purchased, and qualify for the national and European incentive schemes currently being introduced.
The long-awaited approval by the European Commission of the first “certification schemes” – now known as RFNBO hydrogen – enabled the company to start taking steps towards its certification.

The certification guarantees that the production and distribution chain for green hydrogen meets the strict criteria defined by the European Union and complies with EU sustainability requirements
Lhyfe is now in the process of obtaining certification for its already operational French sites in Bessières (Haute-Garonne) and Buléon (Morbihan). Its German site in Schwäbisch Gmünd should be certified shortly afterwards.
As well as offering reassurance to customers, who can now obtain an EU guarantee that the hydrogen they purchase is sustainable and capable of efficiently reducing carbon intensity, this certification will also help them improve their own carbon footprint and obtain the incentives that are gradually being put in place in France to develop supply and demand for sustainable fuels.
Matthieu Guesné, Founder and CEO of Lhyfe said: “The market has been waiting for RFNBO hydrogen to be available in France, and that is now the case. We are now in the process of certifying our two other French sites and our German site and are continuing our roll-out to offer fully traceable green hydrogen to all of industry and mobility across Europe, to help them decarbonise their activities, in a completely transparent manner.”
