Abstract
Currently, 8% of the Dutch emissions originate from non-renewable hydrogen, yet, renewable hydrogen is gaining traction. This research looks at the effects of a hydrogen guarantee of origin (GOO) certificate on large scale renewable hydrogen production in the Netherlands. The GOO specifies if hydrogen originates from a (non)renewable source. This qualitative research used a cross-sectional approach with eight semistructured interviews. Also, an example case was used, SinneWetterstof, a 1,34 Megawatt electrolyser. Three main results were found. Firstly, governance mechanisms play an essential role in (ill)defined aspects regarding the hydrogen GOO. Furthermore, this GOO creates a leading-edge position for renewable hydrogen. Secondly, the GOO creates new economic streams, which are improved by (local)premiums and prestige buyers. Thirdly, future legislation and a GOO scheme increase the market maturity of (renewable) hydrogen. In conclusion, a hydrogen GOO is crucial to develop renewable hydrogen further, creating a future with more renewable hydrogen in the Netherlands.
