Automating Compliance for a Seamless Certification Process
Rotterdam, Netherlands – May 27, 2025 – Atmen and CertifHy today announced a strategic partnership, signed during last week's World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, which names Atmen as the first officially recognised Compliance Technology Provider (CTP) for the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme. This collaboration seeks to establish a streamlined digital infrastructure for producers to operationalize, document, and demonstrate compliance efficiently.
Atmen’s compliance platform simplifies and digitizes the certification process, ensuring economic operators can efficiently meet regulatory requirements. By integrating live compliance modeling, document generation, and emissions tracking, the platform eliminates complexity and allows operators to focus on production while staying aligned with evolving regulations. As a designated CTP, Atmen ensures full compatibility with the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme, making compliance more transparent and accessible.
CertifHy, founded in 2014, is a frontrunner in the certification of renewable hydrogen and e-fuels. It operates schemes like the EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme to help economic operators demonstrate compliance with the EU’s strict sustainability rules regarding the origin of renewable electricity. By formally recognising Atmen as a CTP, CertifHy enables a more efficient certification pathway that eliminates bottlenecks and improves communication between economic operators, certification bodies, and regulators.
“Operators will see major bottlenecks disappear,” said Flore de Durfort, CEO and Co-Founder of Atmen. “With this partnership, we create a clear communication chain and a trusted source of interpretation. Atmen and CertifHy share a vision of bringing certification into a more user- and system-friendly practice.”
Atmen’s platform is designed for neutrality, ensuring seamless integration across multiple certification schemes. While its recognition as a CTP by CertifHy underscores its alignment with EU RFNBO requirements, its broader interoperability potential offers economic operators a unified system for managing compliance across evolving sustainability frameworks.
The collaboration is already in motion, addressing key compliance questions such as carbon input validation, virtual PPA eligibility, and downstream emissions reporting. Atmen and CertifHy will continue refining the integration of certification processes into the Atmen platform, ensuring alignment with future regulatory updates and industry needs.
“Recognising Atmen as a CTP allows us to streamline how market participants interact with our scheme,” said Matthieu Boisson, Managing Director at CertifHy. “Digital infrastructure is essential for scaling certification without sacrificing rigour, and this partnership gives us both speed and consistency.”

About Atmen: Atmen (atmen.co) is a regulatory technology company providing the data infrastructure that powers trusted certification of industrial products. Atmen focuses on automating certification and enabling large-scale, verifiable supply chain transparency across energy-intensive industries.
Founded in January 2023 by energy and regulation experts Flore de Durfort, Quentin Cangelosi and Erika Degoute, Atmen builds technology that ingests granular operational data to enable the certification of industrial goods, starting with clean gases and fuels. Headquartered in Munich, the company's platform is deployed across industrial sites in 9 countries, automating certification workflows and enabling verifiable proof of product attributes throughout the supply chain.
A new EU-funded project (SURFER) will support Europe’s energy transition by creating more resilient, decarbonised energy systems by advancing hydrogen electrolysers. Atmen joins the consortium to demonstrate how flexible electrolysers can support the penetration of renewables on the power grid.
Variable renewable energy sources (VRES), such as solar and wind, have become the cheapest energy sources available. However, the intermittent nature of VRES presents significant energy storage issues, and this has limited their deployment. At the same time, the production of green hydrogen from electrolysers is projected to represent a significant fraction of the energy usage in Europe’s future, decarbonised energy system. As electrolysers are very quick to start and stop, hydrogen can function as an energy buffer for renewable energy.
The Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking’s project SURFER (Supporting Uptake of Renewables with Flexible Electrolysers for Resilient energy systems) aims to facilitate the widespread deployment of variable renewable energy sources by demonstrating the use of flexible electrolysers as dynamic energy buffers. It also aims to stabilise multiple types of energy networks, focusing primarily on power grids, but also considering heat valorisation and isolated or weak grids.
SURFER brings research and industry partners like Atmen together to demonstrate, in real operating environments, how flexible electrolysers can support the stability of the power grid. This capability is essential for scaling both renewable power and renewable hydrogen in Europe.
The project brings together research institutions, industrial operators, grid actors, and digital compliance experts, including Atmen, to study and demonstrate how flexible electrolysers can be integrated into the power grid.
“SURFER addresses two of Europe’s key energy challenges at once: reducing the cost of green hydrogen and enabling higher adoption of renewables”, says project coordinator at SINTEF, Dr. Federico Zenith.
“High shares of renewable electricity introduce volatility and new constraints for power systems,” says Quentin Cangelosi, Co-founder of Atmen. “SURFER brings research and industry partners like Atmen together to demonstrate, in real operating environments, how flexible electrolysers can support the stability of the power grid. This capability is essential for scaling both renewable power and renewable hydrogen in Europe.”
SURFER's multi-disciplinary consortium consists of leading research institutions, hydrogen producers, grid operators, equipment manufacturers, and safety and certification experts. Together they will address the complexities of electrolyser dynamics and energy system integration, significantly advancing beyond the state-of-the-art.
The main goal of the project is to enable electrolysis plants to make additional revenues from power grid stabilisation, also making the latter more resilient and decarbonised with increased VRES adoption and maximisation of their use. The project will improve energy security and drive down costs, thanks to additional sources of revenues and heat integration, thus supporting Europe's energy transition goals.
Through multiple demonstrations across diverse European sites, including operational environments in France, Germany, and Norway, the project will improve the integration of these electrolyser technologies into the energy system. The partners will be the first in the world to provide grid services with electrolysis plants on a commercial basis.
The project will demonstrate the capabilities of Proton-Exchange Membrane ELectrolyser (PEMEL), Alkaline Electrolyser (AEL) and Solid Oxide ELectrolyser (SOEL) to rapidly modulate their operation to accommodate variations in renewable energy supply, grid demand and waste heat when available. The partners have made available their already existing, large-scale sites, rated up to 10 MW for PEMEL, 1.5 MW for AEL and 300 kW for SOEL.
Munich – 30. October, 2025 – Siemens and Atmen have signed a Global Strategic Partnership Agreement (GSPA) to jointly promote interoperable digital and compliance solutions for green hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) projects.
The partnership combines Siemens’ digital capabilities with Atmen’s regulatory automation platform to jointly promote solutions that support compliant power-to-X supply chain development. By aligning digital plant design with certification requirements from the start, the two companies aim to help developers accelerate readiness for evolving schemes and standards, such as those included in the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
“Atmen’s modules could now integrate seamlessly with Siemens’ digital twin and control tower technologies, turning scattered data into a continuous flow,” said Flore de Durfort, CEO of Atmen.
“Siemens’ tools assist companies in building and operating smart supply chains and testing scenarios. Paired with Atmen’s certification platform, engineers and procurement teams get the info needed to stay compliant, resilient, and ensure products meet standards.”
The agreement establishes a structured collaboration between the two companies. Siemens and Atmen seek to coordinate on a shared pipeline of opportunities, align early in tenders and strategic projects, and participate jointly in selected trade fairs and customer engagements.
A bi-annual steering committee, led by senior managers from both companies, aims to review market trends and collaboration opportunities. A dedicated working group then facilitates coordination on ongoing business development and portfolio alignment.
“Our partnership aspires for innovation, credibility, traceability and sustainability from design through operation,” said Peter Ammann, Head of Center of Competence for Siemens’ Hydrogen business.
“Siemens’ and Atmen’s strengths combined pave the way for green hydrogen’s end-to-end value chain becoming a cornerstone of a decarbonized global energy system.”
The partnership is non-exclusive and does not involve technology integration at this stage. Instead, both companies will continue to develop their respective platforms independently, while enabling interoperability in customer projects of mutual interest and involvement.
Together, Siemens and Atmen aim to significantly reduce project risk, lower the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH), and enhance trust in the traceability and sustainability of hydrogen and PtX projects across Europe and beyond.
