Germany’s Tyczka Hydrogen has become the first company certified by CertifHy under its EU RFNBO Scheme. The certificate was issued by TÜV SÜD

Tyczka Hydrogen, a subsidiary of the Tyczka Group, operates across the full hydrogen value chain — from green hydrogen production to compression, filling, transport and application technology.

CertifHy said the certification validates Tyczka Hydrogen’s compliance with the requirements of the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBOs). It confirms that their trading and distribution operations qualify under EU rules as contributing to the delivery of renewable hydrogen and e-fuels to the market.

“Tyczka Hydrogen is now the first energy trader to be certified under any of the recognized voluntary schemes for RFNBOs, setting an important precedent,” said Matthieu Boisson, General Manager at CertifHy. “This highlights the essential role of certified energy carriers and traders in bringing renewable hydrogen to where it is needed.”

CertifHy operates two schemes — the CertifHy EU Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) Voluntary Scheme and the CertifHy Non-Governmental Certificate (NGC) Scheme — which aim to verify the sustainability and origin of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives.

Tyczka group, headquartered near Munich, has annual sales of €500 million in gases including biogenic LPG and green hydrogen, together with associated technology.
