Netherlands issues first green hydrogen certificates
Guarantee of origin certificates used in pilot project organised by Gasunie-backed exchange platform Hyxchange
The Netherlands has become the first country in Europe to issue green hydrogen guarantee of origin (GOO) certificates, Dutch exchange platform Hyxchange says. The certificates were registered by Vertogas, a subsidiary of Dutch state-owned gas company Gasunie, and used in a pilot project carried out this month by Hyxchange—a joint venture between Gasunie, Port of Rotterdam Authority, Port of Amsterdam, Groningen Seaports and North Sea Port. Eighteen companies took part in the trials. “Hyxchange aims to rapidly expand certificate and hydrogen trading, and to facilitate trade between European countries and hydrogen imports from countries outside the EU,” the exchange says. 18 – Participan
