INEOS Inovyn becomes Europe’s first green H2 ISCC PLUS fully certificated producer
INEOS Inovyn is the largest operator of electrolysis technology in Europe, producing 60,000 tpy of low-carbon H2 across multiple sites.
The company achieved a new ISCC certification, reflecting its ambition to reduce carbon emissions. From June 2023, H2 production at the group’s Antwerp site is now certified under ISCC PLUS—a global voluntary certification program for bio-based, circular and renewable raw materials across all markets.
It makes INEOS Inovyn the first certified company in Europe to have its required greenhouse gas data fully audited, providing added value to customers by enabling the traceability of sustainable materials along supply chains. Customers using our renewable H2 will now be able to develop sustainable downstream products which benefit from this certification—along with reducing their Scope 3 emissions.
Our Antwerp site produces H2 through Chlor-Alkali electrolysis—the electrolysis of brine producing chlorine, caustic soda/potash, sodium hypochlorite and H2. The electricity used to produce this H2 comes directly from wind turbines off Belgium’s North Coast.
“We use renewable electricity from existing and local Power Purchase Agreements to produce renewable H2. I’m proud that our H2 is now labelled renewable-energy-derived material and hope this drives the market towards greater sustainability.”
“H2 produced from the Chlor-Alkali industry is vital as the European H2 market grows, this ISCC PLUS certification means there is only one product on the market today with robust and transparent sustainability credentials,” said Wouter Bleukx.
