Complementing & Advancing
HyPEF complements methodological guidelines available for Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and the latest recommendations on LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of FCH systems by developing category rules specific to FCH products (FCH-PEFCRs).
Testing & Consultation
Three specific FCH product categories (hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen use) serve as pilots for the drafting of tailored FCH-PEFCRs to be tested in 12 case studies. A consultation process with experts and a quality review will be carried out to ensure the delivered FCH-PEFCRs are relevant for use in the FCH community and to inspire policymaking in the field of new energy technologies.
