RFNBO and funding readiness
If a project is to meet RFNBO requirements, the energy, data and certification path has to be prepared for the specific model. A general statement of using renewables is not enough.
Who it is for
Hydrogen developers and asset owners preparing for certification of renewable hydrogen or for funding applications.
What we do
- Review the energy supply model, data and documents.
- Identify gaps in traceability and evidence.
- Outline a possible certification route.
- Prepare materials for funding readiness.
Data we need
- Planned power supply arrangement and grid situation.
- Project concept and timeline.
- Existing contracts, studies and decisions.
What you receive
- A readiness assessment.
- An evidence checklist.
- A plan to close identified gaps.
Boundaries
- Certification and financing decisions belong to independent certification bodies and funding institutions.
- No automatic eligibility or award is implied.
- Rules can change; the assessment reflects the rules applicable at the time of work.
How it works
- Qualification conversation.
- Written scope and fee.
- Document and data review.
- Readiness assessment.
- Gap-closing plan.
Schedule and fees
Scope, schedule and fee are agreed in writing for each assignment after a short qualification conversation and a review of the data available. The schedule depends on the completeness of the data and on third parties such as equipment suppliers and authorities. A first conversation to check whether the work makes sense is free; individual analysis and documentation work is paid.
Questions
Do you issue RFNBO certificates?
No. Certification is carried out by independent certification schemes and bodies. We help prepare the evidence and process.
What should we prepare before a readiness review?
Start with the planned electricity supply model, the project concept, existing contracts and available energy data. We identify missing evidence and agree a plan to prepare it; the independent certification body decides whether requirements are met.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
We do not publish fixed prices or lead times. After a short qualification conversation we propose a written scope, fee and schedule that reflect your data and the specialists needed.
