Green Hydrogen Certifier

Posted 17 Sep 2024

With the global hydrogen economy aiming to reach $8 trillion annually by 2050, hydrogen is playing an increasingly critical role in delivering a net zero future.

But how could we establish trust in an emerging supply chain?

The ability to verify and trace green hydrogen across a supply chain is incredibly important. Verifying green hydrogen ensures its production is truly sustainable, meets environmental standards, reduces carbon footprint, builds trust in green energy markets, and promotes investment in clean technologies.

The Green Hydrogen Certifier report explores how Digital Catapult has developed an end-to-end demonstration of a potential digital certification solution for hydrogen production in the UK. By combining a distributed ledger, distributed file store, and decentralised identities, it was possible to create a cohesive demonstration of a working certification solution that functions without a central controller, yet still results in verifiable provenance of low carbon hydrogen.

Download the report to explore how the solution is:

  • Enhancing trust through the verifiability of provenance of low CO2 hydrogen back to low CO2 energy sources
  • Ensuring verifiably safe hydrogen production from certified producers and equipment
  • Preventing bad or unauthorised actors from selling hydrogen in the UK market
  • Enabling transparent certification visualisation and management
