Atmen and CertifHy announced a strategic partnership, signed during last week's World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, which names Atmen as the first officially recognised Compliance Technology Provider (CTP) for the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme. This collaboration seeks to establish a streamlined digital infrastructure for producers to operationalize, document, and demonstrate compliance efficiently.

The solution: Automating RFNBO compliance. Atmen’s compliance platform simplifies and digitizes the certification process, ensuring economic operators can efficiently meet regulatory requirements. By integrating live compliance modeling, document generation, and emissions tracking, the platform eliminates complexity and allows operators to focus on production while staying aligned with evolving regulations. As a designated CTP, Atmen ensures full compatibility with the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme, making compliance more transparent and accessible.

CertifHy, founded in 2014, is a frontrunner in the certification of renewable H₂ and e-fuels. It operates schemes like the EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme to help economic operators demonstrate compliance with the EU’s strict sustainability rules regarding the origin of renewable electricity. By formally recognising Atmen as a CTP, CertifHy enables a more efficient certification pathway that eliminates bottlenecks and improves communication between economic operators, certification bodies, and regulators.

“Operators will see major bottlenecks disappear,” said Flore de Durfort, CEO and Co-Founder of Atmen. “With this partnership, we create a clear communication chain and a trusted source of interpretation. Atmen and CertifHy share a vision of bringing certification into a more user- and system-friendly practice.”

Neutral tech for multi-scheme interoperability. Atmen’s platform is designed for neutrality, ensuring seamless integration across multiple certification schemes. While its recognition as a CTP by CertifHy underscores its alignment with EU RFNBO requirements, its broader interoperability potential offers economic operators a unified system for managing compliance across evolving sustainability frameworks.

The collaboration is already in motion, addressing key compliance questions such as carbon input validation, virtual PPA eligibility, and downstream emissions reporting. Atmen and CertifHy will continue refining the integration of certification processes into the Atmen platform, ensuring alignment with future regulatory updates and industry needs.

“Recognizing Atmen as a CTP allows us to streamline how market participants interact with our scheme,” said Matthieu Boisson, Managing Director at CertifHy. “Digital infrastructure is essential for scaling certification without sacrificing rigor, and this partnership gives us both speed and consistency.”
