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.
Customers of Industry with Scope 3 Emissions
H2C certificates enable Customers of Industry to eliminate Scope 3 carbon emissions from their supply chains, improving disclosures and enabling sustainable transition plans.

Join the Global Movement for Green Hydrogen
Green Hydrogen and its derivatives are revolutionizing the way we decarbonize industries, from heavy manufacturing to transport and energy production. However, the transition to green hydrogen requires a collective commitment to financing and supporting these clean energy solutions. Green Premium Certificates (GPCs) are the key to unlocking this transformation, making it possible for a diverse range of stakeholders to participate in the green hydrogen economy.
