CertifHy EU RFNBO Certification

The CertifHy EU renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) voluntary scheme aims to advance and facilitate the production, procurement and use of low carbon and renewable hydrogen and e-fuels. This scheme helps fuel producers and suppliers of hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives demonstrate compliance with the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and its amendments.

As an approved certification body, SGS is authorized to provide CertifHy EU RFNBO audits.
