Market Briefing for Forward Attribute Trading and Positioning
This market brief explains how trading and bunker supply desks participate in forward low carbon fuel attribute markets, using PIUs as forward rights and GPCs as issued certificates under the H2C Market Rule Book. It focuses on where desks earn margin, how to price and manage risk, and how forward attribute structures sit alongside physical stems without changing existing delivery workflows. It also includes an EU value-at-stake sizing, a standard transaction schematic, and a worked case study to support internal discussion and pilot design.
Producers : Secure Advance Revenue Commitments
As a low carbon fuel producer, you are at the forefront of the energy transition, creating the fuels that will decarbonize the most challenging sectors. But the path to scaling production is steep with high capex, with a dependence on debt funding, limited off-take agreements, and complex certification standards. At H2C, we’re here to help you overcome and secure advanced revenue.
Unlock Global Markets
Green Premium Certificates (GPCs) allow you to separate claims of environmental provenance from the sale of your molecules. This opens doors to a global network of buyers, each seeking to decarbonize their supply chains while meeting local and international carbon accounting standards.
Interoperability: GPCs work across markets, adhering to local standards while maintaining global compatibility.
Transparency: Gain access to a book-and-claim system that tracks the provenance and lifecycle attributes of your products.
Market Acceleration: Demand signals from GPC buyers provide the confidence to scale production.
Securing Revenue Commitments
Our Pre-Issuance Program and Pending Issuance Certificate structure enables our Producers to secure advance orders for GPCs prior to Final Investment Decisions. We provide a standard framework for pre-issuance supported by independent verification and price discovery partners. In the maritime fuels sector these services are delivered by Lloyds Register.
Supporting Global Standards and Compliance
GPC design and structure supports interface with global regulations and claims regimes like FuelEU and EUETS. H2C works with verification and submission providers who certify production standards at a plant level and manage compliance submissions . H2C then unitises claims rights to environmental credentials [eg : RNFBO] for the purpose of financing green premiums.
Our origination team typically engage with projects at or around pre feed stage so that we can manage successful pre issuance and advance orders for certificates. We work to a standard pathway with project teams’ commercialization groups to provide incremental revenue from certificate markets, and visibility for decision makers at the point of final investment decision and beyond.

Global Supply Chains
Market success for low carbon fuels depends on connecting domestic and international production to create resilient supply chains. By supporting export focused production projects at scale, H2C plays a crucial part in helping industry to hit government and EU import targets for green hydrogen. Our certificate market unitises the claims rights each ton of fuel with guarantees of origin based on recipient market production standards including RFNBO.

Interoperable Standards
The H2C market was designed under the watchful eye of international legal and regulatory experts to provide a geo-agnostic framework for the exchange attribute certificates between producers off takers and downstream beneficiaries. We support certificate transactions in all major jurisdictions, from US to Europe and Japan. We work with local auditor partners for production facilities, and align with global carbon accounting proscribed by GHGP and SBTi.

Securing Revenue
With revenue visibility being a key requirement for final investment decisions, H2C have developed pre issuance models to provide investors and decision makers with aggregated demand for certificates. Our services support commercialization teams to secure viable strike prices for molecules, whilst contracting future certificate revenue from scope 1-3 beneficiaries. This helps projects secure off-take, and downstream beneficiaries to secure purchase agreements for net-zero transition plans.
