About H2C

The H2C Registry was borne of an observation in late 2023 that 96% of green hydrogen production projects remained at pre-construction phases With 60 months until the Paris Agreement target to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius production scale lags decarbonisation requirements. In FCI’s work with at-scale producers we noted the discrepancy between capital and off-take agreement scope, hampered by limited options to value green premiums. H2C is being designed and implemented to solve that problem.

Our Approach

Adapting and learning from previous certification approaches to low carbon and renewable energies, we worked with academics and standards experts to consider how the next generation of green premium certificates could enable broad participation in decarbonisation, whilst learning lessons from previous generations. In particular we’ve focused on developing robust additionality and causality as core principles.

Our Partners

The H2C Registry is a collaborative effort, supported by industry stakeholders for mutual benefit in realising the emissions reduction transformation and harnessing specialist expertise. In particular we recognise the need to export grade production and the development of resilient global supply chains.
