Promoting an Environmentally – Responsible Hydrogen Economy by Enabling Product Environmental Footprint Studies

Complementing & Advancing

HyPEF advances methodological specifications for policy-oriented and market-relevant life cycle environmental assessment and benchmarking of hydrogen-related products.

Complementing & Advancing

HyPEF complements methodological guidelines available for Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and the latest recommendations on LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of FCH systems by developing category rules specific to FCH products (FCH-PEFCRs).

Testing & Consultation

Three specific FCH product categories (hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen use) serve as pilots for the drafting of tailored FCH-PEFCRs to be tested in 12 case studies. A consultation process with experts and a quality review will be carried out to ensure the delivered FCH-PEFCRs are relevant for use in the FCH community and to inspire policymaking in the field of new energy technologies.

Recommendations & Benchmarking

HyPEF’s methodological advancements will enhance the development of regulatory frameworks for FCH systems to support policy-making for an eco-friendly hydrogen economy and promote market benchmarking for the responsible deployment of FCH products.

HyPEF brings together top European FCH technologists, environmental research institutes and consultancies to support and promote the establishment of an environmentally-responsible hydrogen economy.
