Green hydrogen has no clear definition
Green hydrogen standard to launch in May
Standard intends to provide investors and consumers with certainty that hydrogen labelled as green is sufficiently low carbon
A global standard for green hydrogen projects developed by not-for-profit foundation the Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2) will be launched on 17 May. The standard intends to provide investors and consumers with certainty that hydrogen labelled as green is sufficiently low carbon. “There is no global consensus on what is green hydrogen,” GH2’s green hydrogen standard director Sam Bartlett told Wood Mackenzie’s hydrogen conference. “That is a barrier to expanding the industry. Producers, customers and consumers need to have a common language.” The standard will certify whole projects rather than processes, enabling those projects to obtain and trade guarantee-of-origin (GOO) certificates.
