Nobian has achieved RFNBO (Renewable Fuels of NonBiological Origin) certification for the green hydrogen produced at its Frankfurt, Germany, site. With the certification of the green hydrogen produced at its Frankfurt site, Nobian has taken another step towards creating a robust and reliable Renewable Fuels of NonBiological Origin (RFNBO) portfolio.

For Nobian, this is the next step in a long-term strategy to accelerate the transition to low-carbon chemical production across Europe. At the Frankfurt site, up to 6,000 tons of green hydrogen per year will now be supplied from Nobian’s chloralkali electrolysis process, powered entirely by renewable electricity.

Securing RFNBO certification means Nobian’s customers can depend on green hydrogen that meets the EU’s strictest sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction criteria. Under the ISCC EU framework, producers must demonstrate:
• Full traceability of renewable electricity
• Compliance with stringent emissions thresholds
• Transparent documentation across the entire production chain
For customers, this translates into a trusted, regulation-aligned solution to advance their own decarbonisation pathways.

“By certifying our Frankfurt site, we further strengthen our low-carbon product portfolio with RFNBO certified products. This supports our customers to lower their carbon footprint and helps to develop a sustainable hydrogen economy,” said Markus Mingenbach, Senior Vice President Chlor-Alkali & Chloromethanes at Nobian. “This certification underscores Nobian’s commitment to providing low-carbon hydrogen solutions across our network and reflects how we put our Grow Greener Together ambition into practice every day.”
Julien Courtois, Senior Product & Business Development Manager Hydrogen at Nobian emphasised: “Adding the Frankfurt production site to our RFNBO offering solidifies Nobian’s leadership as Europe’s largest producer of certified green hydrogen.”
