A Unified and Verified Certificate Market Accelerating the Transition

The H2C Market was borne of an observation in late 2023 that 96% of green hydrogen production projects remained at pre-construction phases. With low carbon fuels requiring higher prices and longer commitments to reach production, we started to build a market where everyone in the supply chain could participate and benefit.

H2C expedites international low carbon fuel markets' viability, growth, liquidity and resilience, supporting stakeholders across various sectors in achieving their environmental and economic objectives.

We do this with our proprietary Green Premium Certificate and PIU structure and working with interoperable standards to manage compliance and disclosures.

We are committed to expediting the global transition to a low-carbon economy by facilitating interoperability between local markets, compliance and registry partners.  We provide a platform for catalytic finance to aggregate demand and deliver strong signals to investors to stimulate supply.

Our priority is to develop systems and partnerships which inject catalytic capital to finance green premiums and accelerate demand and supply.

We consider ourselves as custodians of acceleration and collaborators in accelerants.
