The Global Market for gH2+ Certificates

Green Hydrogen and its derivatives (gH2+) are the only clean technologies capable of addressing 70% of global emissions, equivalent to 42.7 billion tons out of 61.1 billion tons of CO2e. Simply put, it's the make-or-break technology we can't live without.

Despite the existence of 2,000 gH2+ projects worldwide, only 4% have secured final investment decisions. Currently, production costs are over 45% higher than those of legacy fuels. Bankers and investors require contracts to lend money and build supply, while companies aim to eliminate carbon embedded in their products and services. Governments are pushing for accelerated progress to achieve net-zero targets.

Over the past four years, we have developed H2C—the world’s first international certificate market designed to finance green premiums by connecting global beneficiaries. Together, we are creating a sustainable legacy for the next generation.

Discover how the maritime industry can meet ambitious decarbonization goals, lower Scope 3 emissions, and drive a sustainable future with innovative solutions like e-methanol.

Why

Green Hydrogen and derivatives provide portable bulk fuels to transform many heavy industrial and transport applications. Today only 4% of producers have secured off-takers who can afford their product. The H2C market changes that.

What

H2C is a global market for Green Premium Certificates, so that many global beneficiaries can deploy gH2+ to remove Scope 1-3 emissions from their products and services.

How

By contractually separating certificates from the sale of a ton of H2+ molecules, Green Premiums are funded by all beneficiaries, decarbonising supply chains, injecting finance and activating global production to replace fossil fuels.
