1 Endorsement letter
The CertifHy Consortium sent an endorsement letter request to all stakeholders that were
involved throughout the CertifHy project (see below). That way, they had the opportunity to
express their support for the project results as well as their future interest in the
implementation of CertifHy. Stakeholders had the option to either use the CertifHy
endorsement letter template and adapt it to their preferences or write an endorsement letter
by themselves.

CertifHy endorsement letter
To whom it may concern,
During the last two years, the CertifHy project team has developed the essential elements for
a system of guarantees of origin (GOs) for hydrogen with premium characteristics. During the
project, ………………………………………………… (our organization) has been active in the step-by-
step consultation process.
Given the near finalization of the project, we would like to express our support to the projects
key results:
a) The definitions of the two types of premium hydrogen (‘CertifHy Green’ and ‘CertifHy
Low-Carbon’)
b) The guidelines for the setup of the GO scheme for premium hydrogen
c) The roadmap for the implementation of a GO scheme for premium hydrogen
We could play a role in the proposed CertifHy Platform, implementing the GO scheme. We
are willing to concretise the possible role of …………………………………………….. (our organization)
in mutual agreement with the CertifHy consortium. Consistent with the proposed role
allocation in the roadmap, we could contribute to activities*
………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Kind regards,
Brussels, 19th October
* The CertifHy roadmap envisages the following roles and activities. We invite the parties
that will be responsible for taking this process further to concretise our role together with us.
a) Creation of EU platform
To be successful, the GO scheme should be established step by step in a very structured way.
The first step of this structured process is the creation of a Stakeholder Platform providing the governance, consultation, and decision structures needed for building
Overview of CertifHy endorsement activities

consensus and for steering and driving all the activities required for subsequently establishing an EU-wide GO scheme in a separate action, including an initial pilot implementation phase. Continuity needs to be ensured for the subsequent steps to be taken towards an operating GO scheme.
This Stakeholder Platform will need to establish itself as the recognised body in charge of addressing and overcoming the various challenges raised by the implementation of an EU-wide GO scheme, for instance in terms of
interactions with national regulations,
interactions with other schemes for renewable energy such as electricity or biomethane,
dealing with technical complexity derived from the variety of production methods and energy inputs that may be used for hydrogen generation,
diversity of stakeholders.
Does your company want to become member of this EU platform ?
b) Set up pilots in which the GOs scheme can be tested
The GO scheme itself will also need to be tested in practice before going for full-scale
rollout. Under guidance of the supervisory board, details on these pilots should be
worked out, including the scope of the pilots, appointments to be made to make them
possible, and key lessons to be learnt. Next to testing the GO scheme, these pilots may
also provide additional information on the value of the premium labels while traded
through a GO. Key parties to be involved in these pilots are producers, traders and
users of the GOs, but also all actors identified in the GO handling process: the issuing
body/ies, auditors, certification and accreditation body. Also in these pilots it seems
worthwhile to engage ongoing FCH-JU projects bringing in concrete cases.
Does your company want take up any of the roles mentioned here above
(underlined).
c) Set-up of the ICT system and registry platform to implement the scheme
A full-blown GO scheme requires a relatively extensive ICT platform. This could be built
from scratch, which would require considerable capacity and efforts. However, some
existing platforms might be useful to copy from, particularly the ones available for
renewable methane.
Do you have an existing ICT infrastructure that runs GOs trading and you could modify
to H2 GOs?
d) Identification of the issuing body as the key party in the scheme
The issuing body is at the heart of the GO scheme. It issues the GOs and is responsible
for the proper inclusion of information regarding the environmental characteristics,
thereby allowing GOs to be labelled ‘CertifHy Green Hydrogen’ or “CertifHy Low-
carbon Hydrogen’. The issuing body is also the commissioner and key owner of the ICT
systems in which GOs are created, traded and cancelled. At a certain point in the
Overview of CertifHy endorsement activities

development process, the issuing body responsibility should be assigned. This can be
done to an existing or newly set up organisation.
Are you an Issuing Body or would you be willing to take over this role?
e) Creation of EU-wide buy-in for the GO system and the CertifHy labels
CertifHy findings confirm that an EU-wide GO system for green hydrogen from the
start is preferable to the establishment of national schemes that later need to be
harmonised or integrated. While this is clearly recognised at EU level, additional
efforts may be needed to create buy-in for this strategy at member state level. This
could be done by coordinated activities in the key member states in which the demand
for green hydrogen will arise.
Could you assist us in getting buy-in to adapt the CertifHy premium labels and
champion this in your Member State(s)?

2 Endorsement letters signed
The CertifHy Project is strongly supported by the industry, standardization and issuing bodies,
international organizations and individuals that support the work of CertifHy including the
definitions of Premium hydrogen, the GO scheme and roadmap for implementation and show
commitment to support the implementation of the first EU-wide GO scheme for Premium
Hydrogen. By the 3rd November, CertifHy received 18 strong endorsement letters from global
players such as Air Liquide, Areva H2Gen, BMW Group, Colruyt, European Bioas Association,
EKOenergy, Linde AG, Toyota or WaterstofNet.
