How can Indian producers export green hydrogen to the EU?

Indian producers can map GHCI-aligned evidence to RFNBO requirements and prepare documentation packages for accredited review. HyGOAT powers this workflow - structuring evidence and generating export-ready documentation.

What export markets are open to India for green hydrogen?

Key pathways include EU (RFNBO), Japan (JCM), South Korea (CHPS), and Singapore. Each pathway has distinct requirements that should be assessed before formal submission.

What is the H2Global second tender?

The H2Global second tender is a large-scale green hydrogen derivatives procurement process run by HINTCO.

Q: What is RFNBO compliance?

RFNBO compliance is the EU RED III framework for renewable hydrogen pathways. It includes strict temporal and geographic correlation requirements and lifecycle emissions rules defined in delegated acts.

What is RFNBO Compliance?

RFNBO (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) is the European Union's certification framework for renewable hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels under RED III (Renewable Energy Directive). It requires hydrogen to meet strict temporal correlation and geographic correlation rules with renewable electricity generation.

For Indian producers targeting the EU market (10 MTPA by 2030), RFNBO compliance means proving that hydrogen production is synchronized with renewable energy generation and located in the same bidding zone-ensuring true additionality and preventing grid strain.

Temporal Correlation

Hydrogen production must match renewable energy generation within the same hour

Geographic Correlation

Renewable energy source must be in the same electricity bidding zone as production

HyGOAT supports RFNBO readiness workflows with temporal matching checks and documentation preparation for EU export processes
