In July this year, the Danish Energy Agency pre-recognised the ISCC EU certification approach for Renewable Fuels of Non-biological Origin (RFNBOs). We have now issued the first ISCC RFNBO certificate to the electrolysis plant of Grøn Brint A/S, marking a significant step in sustainable hydrogen production.
The official recognition for the ISCC EU RFNBO and RCF (Recycled Carbon Fuels) certification approach by the European Commission (EC) is still pending and eagerly anticipated by ISCC and many market participants. Following various RFNBO pilot certifications – including also the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions savings – and achieving the latest milestone, we are looking forward to starting the official ISCC EU RFNBO certification once the recognition by the EC is granted.
As an established, global and multi-stakeholder certification system with certified value chains in 130 countries and 13 years of experience in certifying System Users under the Renewable Energy Directive, we will continue building our expertise and reputation in the growing RFNBO market. Within ISCC, the RFNBO scope can be added to existing certificates. In addition, we offer simple connectivity to all the existing ISCC certified companies and supply chains.
Since last year, we have conducted three live, interactive online training courses on the certification of RFNBOs, already qualifying many local auditors. This sounds interesting to you? Keep an eye on the ISCC website for information on upcoming training courses.
ISCC also hosts an annual Technical Stakeholder Meeting on RFNBOs, bringing together experts and industry players. Transparent documentation of the previous meetings is available to the public on the ISCC website. The next Technical Stakeholder Meeting on RFNBOs will take place on 6 February 2025.

We thank Grøn Brint A/S and our cooperating Certification Body Baltic Control® for the great cooperation and for bringing the first ISCC RFNBO certification to the market!
