In a significant development for the hydrogen and e-fuels industry, TÜV NORD EnSys GmbH & Co. KG has partnered with Munich-based technology firm Atmen. This collaboration aims to assist hydrogen and e-fuels project developers in navigating the complexities of EU sustainability compliance and certification - a critical aspect of business operations even before supply chains are fully operational.
Central to this partnership is Atmen's "H2 Compliance Monitor", designed to enhance developers' understanding of EU green compliance requirements. By simulating energy flows and carbon intensity along the value chain, and assessing forecasted operational flows for compliance, the technology tool efficiently addresses compliance challenges and suggests a path for optimal supply chain design. As a result, a compliance report is generated. The tool is developed to save time and foster trust among offtakers, partners, public institutions and investors right from an early stage of project development.
TÜV NORD EnSys and Atmen will jointly market this product, combining Atmen's technological solution with TÜV NORD´s extensive knowledge and technical advisory services. TÜV NORD EnSys adds value to the partnership by collaborating on the H2 CRC methodology and offering additional services like tailored certification roadmaps and detailed energy simulation to the customers. This approach ensures a comprehensive strategy for achieving EU sustainability compliance.
Flore de Durfort, CEO of Atmen, commented on the partnership: "Working with TÜV NORD EnSys to offer our clients a sophisticated simulation, screening and optimization tool represents a significant step in our effort to reduce manual workloads. This collaboration allows our clients to better understand regulatory requirements, streamline their projects for sustainability, foster trust and accelerate projects path to Final Investment Decision (FID)."
Silvio Konrad, Chairman of the Management Board of TÜV NORD EnSys, also expressed satisfaction with the collaboration:"We are pleased to collaborate with Atmen, bringing together our expertise to assist customers from the early stages of hydrogen project development to operational execution. This partnership is about leveraging technology to embed the critical dimensions of compliance and potential certification in the engineering phases of hydrogen supply chains. It is about de-risking projects by building trust around their sustainability."
This partnership marks an important step forward in supporting sustainable practices within the hydrogen and e-fuels sector.

Key Highlights:
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.
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:
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.
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.
“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.”
Lhyfe is a European group devoted to energy transition, and a producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen. Its production sites and portfolio of projects seek to provide access to green and renewable hydrogen in industrial quantities, and enable the creation of a virtuous energy model capable of decarbonising entire sectors of industry and transport.
In 2021, Lhyfe inaugurated the first industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant in the world to be interconnected with a wind farm. In 2022, it inaugurated the first offshore green hydrogen production pilot platform in the world.
In 2023, it inaugurated two new sites, and currently has several sites under construction or expansion across Europe.
Lhyfe is represented in 12 European countries and had 200 staff at the end of June 2024. The company is listed on the Euronext market in Paris (ISIN: FR0014009YQ1 – LHYFE). Lhyfe.com
