Driving Industry Decarbonization with Green Hydrogen

From shipping to heavy industry, green hydrogen and its derivatives are transforming global operations and reducing Scope 1 & 2 emissions.

Securing low-carbon fuels at viable off-take prices (reducing green premiums).

Supporting Scope 1 & 2 reductions while aligning with regulatory regimes.

Generating incremental revenue from Scope 3 certificates.

The Urgent Need for Change

High-emission industries like shipping, manufacturing, and energy production account for nearly 60% of global CO2 emissions, making decarbonization critical yet complex.

These sectors face:

  • Fossil Fuel Dependence: Reliance on coal, oil, and gas entrenched in supply chains.

  • Rising Costs: Green hydrogen, a key alternative, remains up to 50% more expensive than legacy fuels.

  • Regulatory Pressures: Increasing mandates and carbon pricing demand swift action.

  • Infrastructure Barriers: Transitioning to green fuels requires significant investment in retrofitting or new systems.

Without viable solutions, these challenges threaten global supply chains and climate goals. Green hydrogen and Green Premium Certificates (GPCs) offer a clear path to reduce emissions and future-proof operations while enabling industries to meet compliance standards and maintain competitiveness.

Green Hydrogen Powering Decarbonization

Green hydrogen and its derivatives (gH2+) provide a transformative solution for hard-to-decarbonize industries, enabling significant reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.

Green hydrogen offers industries a tangible pathway to align with global climate goals, build sustainable supply chains, and secure a competitive edge in the low-carbon economy.

Versatile Applications: From green ammonia in shipping to hydrogen in steelmaking and energy production, gH2+ fuels are revolutionizing industrial processes.

Carbon Neutrality: Green Premium Certificates (GPCs) guarantee verified provenance, allowing businesses to confidently track and report emissions reductions.

Market Integration: gH2+ integrates seamlessly into existing supply chains, helping industries meet regulatory requirements and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Scalable Transition: With GPCs, industries can fund the green premium collaboratively, accelerating adoption while minimizing financial barriers.

Benefits of gH2+ Adoption

Green hydrogen unlocks transformative benefits for industries looking to decarbonize and stay competitive in a low-carbon economy:

Carbon Reduction: Achieve significant Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions with a verified, sustainable fuel source.

Regulatory Compliance: Meet evolving carbon mandates and avoid penalties with certified Green Premium Certificates (GPCs).

Supply Chain Leadership: Signal sustainability leadership by driving decarbonization across your entire value chain.

Green hydrogen positions industries to cut emissions, meet sustainability goals, and lead in the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Future-Proofing: Adopt a solution that prepares your operations for a net-zero future while reducing reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets.

  • A ton of green hydrogen in fertiliser production may eliminte 2 tons of CO₂ emissions, enabling more sustainable agriculture.

  • What if you could pull green fuels into your supply chain to eliminate emissions? Certificate markets enable this.

  • Products and Services contain indirect emissions emanating from fossil fuels use. For Sustainability Professionals it’s hard to control emissions embedded in complex supply chains.

  • Using green hydrogen to produce steel can reduce emissions by up to 9 tons of CO₂ per ton of steel.

Green Premium Certificates [GPCs] enable elimination of emissions in complex supply chains

1

Achieve Net-Zero Targets

H2C links hydrogen producers to Scope 3 claimants by unbundling Green Premium Certificates, funding green hydrogen, and ensuring transparent, verified decarbonization across global supply chains​​​.

Certificates provide a method to eliminate upstream carbon emissions, often out of reach of traditional investments, innovation and procurement rigour. By unitising the claims rights to zero carbon fuels, we enable all supply chain beneficiaries to finance elimination of fossil fuel dependence in industries that make up critical parts of supply chains.

2

Accelerate the Transition

Certificate markets accelerate permanent transitions. They finance direct elimination of emissions in supply chains rather than relying on third party action. By powering the energy transition, they fund future viability of gH2+ advancing price parity with higher emitting energy. Over time green premiums reduce as green energy replaces fossil fuels.

3

Secure Action Plans

With brand value and sustainability intrinsically linked for all stakeholders, H2C certificate solutions enable firms to demonstrate decarbonization within their action plans, providing proof of action to stakeholders. Today participants in certificate markets invest ~$60bn annually and markets are set to exceed ~$100bn by 2030 with the addition of bulk green fuels.

4

Compliance & Risk Management

Climate risks include loss and damage to both infrastructure, markets and reputation. By embedding zero carbon energy within supply chains around 69% of emissions use cases can be addressed in previously hard to abate sectors. Certificates fund elimination of emissions, reducing strategic costs, improving compliance and cutting risk.

What are Green Premium Certificates

Green Premium Certificates are instruments in H2C’s market which can be bought, and sold. They represent the unitized claims rights in gH2+ powered supply chains, where specific value can be attributed to the zero carbon provenance. Between producers and off-takers they provide legally binding guarantees of origin and unitized claims rights to production standards. For supply chain beneficiaries they represent a ton of CO2 eliminated by replacing fossil fuels.

  • Support multiple standards including RFNBO

  • Provide legally binding unitized rights

  • Secured through advanced purchase

  • Held in H2C book-and-claim registry

  • Internationally interoperable and complementary
