INEOS Inovyn Becomes Europe’s First Green Hydrogen ISCC PLUS Fully Certificated Producer

The title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from INEOS.

These two bullet points, act as sub-headings.

• INEOS Inovyn’s Antwerp hydrogen production, has been certified under the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) PLUS scheme.
• We become the first European company to have our renewable hydrogen fully audited with greenhouse gas data certification.

This paragraph describes how the hydrogen is produced.

Our Antwerp site produces hydrogen through Chlor-Alkali electrolysis – the electrolysis of brine producing chlorine, caustic soda/potash, sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen. The electricity used to produce this hydrogen comes directly from wind turbines off Belgium’s North Coast.

The Castner-Kellner process, that I worked on at ICI in the 1960s produced similar products.
