• Two leaders in the energy transition come together to develop best-in-class green certification process
• Standardized and automated solution drives efficiency for PtX supply chains

Rueil-Malmaison, France – January 29, 2025 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and Atmen, an integrated compliance and green certification platform provider, have partnered to advance digital solutions for sustainability compliance and traceability in power-to-X (PtX) supply chains.

With operations in over 100 countries, Schneider Electric is renowned for maximising energy efficiency and driving sustainable development through innovative digital technologies. Atmen specialises in simplifying and automating green certification for producers of hydrogen and e-fuels, enabling compliance with sustainability regulations in a seamless and efficient manner.

The collaboration will integrate Schneider Electric’s advanced digital platforms with Atmen’s certification technology to enhance cybersecurity, data quality, and operational fluidity.

To support sustainability compliance across PtX industries, the partnership will develop a standardized solution combining Atmen’s software expertise with Schneider Electric’s technology.

“This collaboration unites Schneider Electric’s world-class expertise in energy management and automation of complex industrial sites with Atmen’s specialisation in energy and sustainability regulation, operational compliance, and green certification,” said Flore de Durfort, CEO, Atmen. “Together, we bring complementary strengths—Schneider Electric’s leadership in data security and cybersecurity and Atmen’s expertise in data-driven industrial asset operations—to deliver a solution that simplifies compliance, enhances traceability, and supports the energy transition at scale.”

At Schneider Electric, we contribute to a cleaner, brighter future by offering solutions that facilitate the lowest cost of hydrogen, achieved through competitive pricing of renewable electricity, optimized design and the implementation of secure monitoring and control systems.

“Atmen’s innovative approach to green certification adds critical value to our mission of driving the digital transformation of Green Hydrogen and PtX projects,” said Philippe Arsonneau, SVP Infrastructure Segment, Schneider Electric. “By combining forces, we are ensuring that PtX supply chains have the tools they need to meet stringent sustainability requirements while enhancing operational efficiency.”

This partnership highlights the shared commitment of Schneider Electric and Atmen to drive the energy transition and accelerate the adoption of sustainable, traceable practices across entire PtX value chains.

Nantes (France) and Munich (Germany), 20 January 2025, 7:30 AM: Lhyfe (Euronext: 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.

Lhyfe, on the Path to RFNBO* Certification

Since its creation, Lhyfe has strived to meet the highest ecological standards for its hydrogen. It had been eagerly awaiting the approval by the European Commission of the first “RFNBO” (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin) certification schemes for renewable hydrogen. Following their publication in December 2024, Lhyfe has begun the necessary steps to obtain RFNBO certification for its production.

* The RFNBO certification confirms that hydrogen is produced sustainably (via water electrolysis) and from 100% renewable electricity. It includes a comprehensive carbon footprint assessment of this production process. The certification ensures compliance with the strict criteria defined by the European Union and adherence to the highest environmental standards, thereby strengthening trust among partners, clients, and investors.

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.

“Atmen is thrilled to partner with Lhyfe, one of the most innovative and fastest-growing hydrogen producers in Europe,” said Flore de Durfort, CEO of Atmen. “Together, we are setting a new standard in traceability, enabling the hydrogen sector to meet the strictest sustainability requirements with precision and transparency.”

“Our collaboration with Atmen is a major step in realising our commitment to transparency for our clients, both in terms of sustainability and traceability,” commented Antoine Hamon, Chief Operations Officer at Lhyfe. “With Digital Product Passports, we are enhancing trust 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.”
