Electrolytic production
Sell certified volumes at a premium with proof of the renewable supply, the production conditions and the resulting carbon intensity attached to every delivery.
Digital Product Passport platform for hydrogen
Prove where your hydrogen came from — and what it’s worth.
Certified hydrogen only earns its premium if the claim survives storage, blending, transport and conversion. H2DPP gives producers, traders and their auditors one verified record of origin, emissions, custody and certification — from the electrolyser to the customer’s gate.
- Built for RFNBO & low-carbon pathways
- Aligned to ISO 22095 chain of custody
- Audit-ready by default
The business case
Certified hydrogen is only worth more if you can prove it.
The certificate is the easy part. The hard part is keeping the proof attached to the molecules through every tank, pipeline, transfer and conversion step between you and the buyer.
Where value leaks today
Evidence assembled after the fact
- Proof lives in spreadsheets, PDFs and email threads
- Every audit is rebuilt by hand, at real cost
- Claims can be counted twice without anyone noticing
- Buyers cannot verify what they are paying a premium for
- Each scheme, buyer and authority wants a different format
- A single gap in the chain devalues the whole consignment
What changes with H2DPP
Evidence that accumulates as you operate
- One verified record per volume, production through delivery
- Audit packs assembled continuously, not the week before
- Each certified claim can be used and retired exactly once
- Customers get proof they can check for themselves
- One dataset, exported in the form each party requires
- Gaps surface while you can still fix them
The outcome is commercial, not just administrative: a premium you can defend, an audit you can pass, and a buyer conversation that ends in a document rather than an argument.
The platform
What H2DPP does for you.
A working Digital Product Passport for hydrogen and its derivatives — delivered as a product, configured to the schemes and counterparties you actually deal with.
-
01
Hydrogen provenance
Record where every volume was produced, from which energy source, under which conditions — and keep that origin attached as the volume moves.
-
02
Chain-of-custody management
Supports the custody models your scheme requires — identity preservation, segregation and mass balance — and keeps them straight when hydrogen from several sources shares the same infrastructure.
-
03
Emissions & sustainability data
Carbon intensity and lifecycle emissions calculated on the recognised methodologies, carried with the volume and reported in the units each scheme and buyer expects.
-
04
Certification & compliance support
Scheme evidence stays attached to the right volume, and the rules of the certification boundary you are operating in are applied as you go rather than checked afterwards.
-
05
Claim verification
Counterparties can confirm that a claim is genuine, current and unspent — without you handing over commercial data they have no business seeing.
-
06
Complete audit trail
Every entry is timestamped and attributable. Auditors and verification bodies get a trail to inspect instead of a reconstruction to challenge.
-
07
Supply-chain transparency
Share exactly what each partner, buyer or authority needs, at the level of detail you choose, with a record of who was given access to what.
-
08
Passport publishing
Every consignment gets a passport your customer can scan or open from a link — readable by a person, and readable by their systems.
Outcomes our customers ask for
- Defensible green premium
- Faster, cheaper audits
- No double counting
- Buyer-ready disclosure
- Fewer rejected claims
Use cases
Where it earns its place.
Hydrogen supply chains fail traceability in specific, predictable places. These are the ones customers bring us first.
Shared storage & pipelines
Hydrogen from several producers in one tank or network. Each owner’s quantity and each buyer’s claim stay correct, reconciled and separately reportable.
Trading & offtake
Hand the buyer’s compliance team the evidence pack they ask for on the day the deal closes, not six weeks later.
Ammonia & derivatives
Conversion does not break the record. The sustainability claim carries into the derivative under the allocation rules of the governing scheme, and stays traceable in both directions.
Import & cross-border supply
Bring imported volumes into a form that EU schemes and customs-facing reporting will accept, with the origin evidence intact rather than asserted.
Mobility & refuelling
Show at the dispenser, and in the fleet operator’s reporting, that the hydrogen delivered was the certified hydrogen that was paid for.
Who it’s for
One record. Five very different jobs.
Everybody in a hydrogen chain needs the same facts and almost never needs them in the same form. Pick your seat at the table.
Turn a certificate into a price
- A passport per consignment, ready when the volume ships
- Emissions and origin data captured once, reused everywhere
- Evidence your certifier and your customer both accept
- Claims that cannot be sold twice by accident
Move the molecules without losing the claim
- Custody and ownership tracked even when they diverge
- Correct quantities out of shared tanks and networks
- The claim carried through conversion to derivatives
- An evidence pack you can hand a buyer unedited
Audit a trail instead of a reconstruction
- Read-only access scoped to the client and period you audit
- Every figure traceable to the record that produced it
- Exceptions and reconciliation gaps surfaced, not buried
- Less time on evidence gathering, more on judgement
H2DPP does not certify anything. It makes the operator’s evidence inspectable so that your scheme’s decision rests on data you can trace.
Supervision without a document request
- Consistent data across operators, not per-company formats
- Double counting detectable rather than merely prohibited
- Reporting aligned to EU frameworks as they take effect
- Access rights that respect commercial confidentiality
Add a hydrogen passport to what you already sell
- Integrates with the systems already producing the data
- White-label and co-delivery arrangements available
- Joint pilots with a defined scope and a fixed timeline
- Shared DPP practice across hydrogen, textiles and batteries
Compliance
The rules are already binding. The evidence has to keep up.
Unlike textiles, hydrogen does not wait on a product-specific ecodesign act. RFNBO rules, the market package and the low-carbon methodology are in force now — and every one of them asks you to show your working.

How H2DPP helps you meet them
- Scheme-aligned evidence
- Emissions on the recognised methodologies
- Chain of custody on ISO 22095 models
- Records built for inspection
Hydrogen also falls within the strategic technologies in scope of the ESPR, so the EU Digital Product Passport Registry and the horizontal DPP standards are part of the same trajectory. We track them so your passports stay valid as the requirements land.

Getting started
Start with one real chain, not a programme.
You do not need an enterprise transformation to get a working hydrogen passport. You need one supply chain, the data that already exists around it, and a few weeks.
Scoping workshop
Half a day on your actual chain: where the hydrogen goes, which scheme governs it, who needs to see what, and where today’s evidence breaks. You leave with a scope and a number.
Pilot
One production site and one route, running on your real data, with the passport your buyer or certifier would actually receive. Weeks, not quarters.
Rollout & integration
Connect the systems already producing the data — metering, energy management, ERP — extend to further sites, routes and derivatives, and bring counterparties on.
Why DeepCloudLabs
- Digital Product Passports are what we build, not a side line
- Three regulated categories in production thinking — hydrogen, textiles, batteries
- Standards-led, so your passports survive the next revision

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us.
What do we actually get?
A hydrogen Digital Product Passport platform: your volumes and consignments carry verified origin, emissions, custody and certification data; your customers get a passport they can scan or open from a link; your auditors get a trail they can inspect; and your team gets one place to answer the question “prove it”.
Does this replace our certification scheme?
No. CertifHy, ISCC EU and RedCert remain the certifying bodies and their rules still decide what you may claim. H2DPP is the system that keeps their evidence attached to the right volume as that volume is stored, blended, shipped, converted and finally delivered — which is where certified claims normally come apart.
How does it fit the systems we already run?
H2DPP takes data from the systems that already produce it — metering and process historians, energy management, ERP, existing certificate registries — and publishes passports and reports back out. It is designed to sit alongside your stack, not to replace it, and it does not require you to re-platform to get a first passport out.
Our data is commercially sensitive. Who sees what?
You decide, per counterparty. A customer can verify that a claim is genuine, current and unspent without seeing your prices, volumes or supplier relationships. Auditors get scoped access to the client and period they are examining. Every grant of access is itself recorded.
Can we start before a passport is legally required?
That is the better time to start. Hydrogen certification is already binding, buyers are already asking for proof, and the operators who can produce it are the ones defending a premium today. Starting early also means the evidence for your first mandatory reporting period already exists rather than having to be reconstructed.
What about certificate-based (book-and-claim) volumes?
Where a scheme permits certificate-based trading, H2DPP handles it. Where it does not — RFNBO certification under RED III, Article 30, being the obvious case — the platform will not let you record a claim that the governing scheme forbids. That boundary is enforced by the system rather than left to a policy document and someone’s memory.
What happens when hydrogen becomes ammonia?
Conversion does not break the record. The sustainability claim carries into the derivative according to the allocation rules of the governing scheme, and the history stays traceable in both directions — so a buyer of the ammonia can still see what the hydrogen was.
Is this a blockchain product?
No. What matters commercially is that records are append-only, independently auditable and verifiable by a counterparty who does not trust you by default. We use cryptographic verification where a counterparty genuinely needs it, and we do not charge you for infrastructure your use case does not require.
How long does a pilot take, and what does it cost?
A pilot on one production site and one route is measured in weeks. Scope and price come out of the scoping workshop, which is where we would rather start than in a proposal document. Book a walkthrough and bring your hardest chain.
Bring us your hardest supply chain.
A commingled tank, a conversion step, a consignment that has to prove delivery to a buyer who will not take your word for it. We will walk it through the platform and show you what your passport would look like.
