Individuals
Individuals have equal access to the trade of our green hydrogen certificates, and can use them to offset their carbon footprint
Why green hydrogen certificates
Green hydrogen is a key solution to tackle climate change - demand is increasing and with many governments introducing stronger climate change policies it is expected to rise further. The production of green hydrogen is powered entirely by renewable energy, so it generates no polluting emissions into the atmosphere. Certification is required to verify that the green hydrogen produced is in fact produced via renewable energy only.
Our green hydrogen certificates are verified and issued automatically via our proprietary (patent pending) certification process that is integrated with the hydrogen producers, reducing the cost to issue and increasing the value of the certificates.
Using certificates to
offset
Once purchased, the certificates can be ‘relinquished’ in order to be used as a carbon offset - this process is irreversible and prevents future trading of the certificates.
In return for ‘relinquishing’ the certificates, a non-fungible token is issued that represents the associated quantity of green hydrogen, and provides a verifiable link to the physical underlying green hydrogen for transparency and audit purposes.
Trading certificates
Green hydrogen certificates can be traded independently of the underlying physical hydrogen. Demand for certificates is primarily driven by companies buying carbon offsets and individuals who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint, both for regulatory and voluntary purposes.
Our certificates are issued as blockchain tokens, enabling the trade of certificates via the CertificateMiner platform as well as any public exchange. The CertificateMiner platform also offers further incentives for purchasing and staking certificates, with the aim creating a green energy ecosystem and ensuring demand for the certificates.
