The carbon intensity of hydrogen depends on the system around it

Hydrogen is only as low carbon as the electricity, equipment, water, storage and transport behind it. The same label can describe very different pathways depending on the grid, electrolyser, utilisation rate and delivery model. Minviro builds the assessment around the production route you are developing, so buyers and certification schemes can see the evidence behind the claim.

Pathway LCAs for hydrogen and fuel cell systems

We model electricity supply, electrolyser performance, water, compression, storage, transport and balance-of-plant equipment. For fuel cell manufacturers, we extend the footprint across the stack, materials, assembly and operating assumptions that shape the product result.

Scenario comparisons before the project is locked

Grid connection, renewable sourcing, utilisation, storage duration and distribution route all change the outcome. We make those scenarios comparable, so developers can choose the pathway that works commercially and delivers the carbon performance buyers expect.

Certification and customer evidence from one model

Certification schemes, offtakers and investors may need different boundaries and evidence. We scope the assessment to the relevant scheme rather than treating one LCA as universal compliance. Hydrogen is within CBAM scope; covered imports require its own installation-level embedded-emissions methodology, not a standard product LCA alone.

Separate the label from the actual pathway

Hydrogen colour labels do not capture every choice in the system. We model electricity, equipment, water, storage and transport so the carbon result reflects how the product is made and delivered.

Choose the pathway with the evidence attached

A project can look attractive until utilisation, storage or grid assumptions change. We compare the full system, giving developers and investors a clearer view of both the carbon performance and the trade-offs behind it.

Give offtakers a result they can review

Give offtakers a result they can review

Offtakers and certification schemes need more than a low headline number. We document the method and inputs behind the footprint, so the result can move through technical review with fewer unanswered questions.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Ready to evidence your hydrogen pathway?

Whether you are preparing for certification, comparing production scenarios or answering an offtaker request, the right scope depends on the system boundary and data available. A 20-minute call will show us both.
