Lhyfe, a pioneering producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen for industry and mobility, and Atmen, an integrated compliance automation platform, have decided to collaborate to set a new standard of excellence in carbon footprint traceability and transparency within the hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) sectors.
Advancing transparency with the hydrogen digital passport
With a commitment to maximum transparency and its rapid expansion in multiple European countries, Lhyfe sought to exceed current regulations even before obtaining its RFNBO certification. Thanks to its partnership with Atmen, Lhyfe now has a robust traceability system with unprecedented precision and granularity.
Each delivery of Lhyfe's green hydrogen can now be accompanied by a Digital Product Passport — an innovation that provides a complete and precise description of the carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced, including detailed information:
- Energy sourcing: Where, when, and how the electricity used in the production process was generated.
- Embedded emissions: Step-by-step breakdown of the carbon intensity calculations.
- Supply chain contribution: The impact of each processing and logistics stage on the hydrogen's carbon footprint.
This collaboration starts with the production unit in Bouin (Vendée, France) and will be extended to other Lhyfe sites.
The company has also initiated steps to obtain RFNBO certification for hydrogen produced at its various sites. Once achieved, the digital passports will include the ‘RFNBO-compliant’ label.
This partnership delivers unparalleled traceability and compliance for Lhyfe's green hydrogen, equipping clients with the tools needed to align with their emission and decarbonisation goals transparently.
Simplifying compliance with regulations like RFNBO
By combining Lhyfe's expertise in renewable hydrogen production and Atmen's advanced automation software, this partnership simplifies compliance with strict sustainability regulations such as RFNBO.
- Precision in reporting: High-accuracy carbon intensity calculations ensure full transparency.
- Compliance automation: Automatically generated Digital Product Passports reduce human intervention for improved efficiency.
- Granular client alignment: Producers can meet their clients' emission and decarbonisation targets with unprecedented detail.
Flore de Durfort, CEO of Atmen, stated: “Atmen is delighted to partner with Lhyfe, one of the most innovative and fastest-growing hydrogen producers in Europe. Together, we are setting a new standard in traceability, enabling the hydrogen sector to meet the strictest sustainability requirements with precision and transparency.”
Antoine Hamon, Chief Operations Officer at Lhyfe, commented: “Our collaboration with Atmen is a major step in realising our commitment to transparency for our clients, both in terms of sustainability and traceability. With Digital Product Passports, we are enhancing confidence in the sustainability of our hydrogen. We invite the sector to align with this practice, which will help develop the industry with the same spirit of trust.”
