Berlin, 9 September 2025 | H2 MOBILITY is now offering a GHG quota service for operators of hydrogen refuelling stations in Germany. Through this service, the company provides third parties with access to the GHG quota trading system, consolidates and sells avoided greenhouse gas emissions, and ensures legally compliant documentation. This enables market access and guarantees non-discriminatory participation for all providers.
The trading of greenhouse gas savings (GHG reductions) is complex and challenging for many hydrogen refuelling station operators. Strict regulatory requirements, time-consuming verification procedures, and volatile market mechanisms make participation resource-intensive. In addition, minimum thresholds for GHG reductions often restrict access to the market.
H2 MOBILITY’s service covers the secure, year-round marketing of emission savings, timely and legally compliant documentation, regular price updates, and a modular service structure. A key feature is the aggregation of GHG reductions from multiple operators, and the strategic timing of sales to strengthen negotiating power. This approach enables participation for operators who have previously been excluded from the GHG market due to limited expertise or insufficient volumes.
“Our GHG quota service eases the burden for hydrogen refuelling station operators. As a reliable partner, we handle market access, documentation and sales. This enables maximum returns with minimal effort while supporting the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure,” says Martin Jüngel, Managing Director and CFO of H2 MOBILITY.
This new business area strengthens H2 MOBILITY’s position as the largest operator of hydrogen refuelling stations in Europe. The initiative is part of the company’s overarching strategy to provide innovative solutions across the hydrogen value chain, fostering efficiency and sustainability while driving the scale-up of hydrogen mobility.
GHG Quota Trading
The GHG quota trading system is a government tool designed to promote sustainable mobility. It requires oil companies to gradually reduce their CO₂ emissions or purchase corresponding certificates. Operators of hydrogen refuelling stations and other renewable energy sources in the transport sector can benefit by selling their avoided greenhouse gas emissions as certificates to quota-obligated entities. This mechanism creates financial incentives for climate-friendly technologies and makes a significant contribution to cutting CO₂ emissions.
Certificate prices are determined by supply and demand, as well as by regulatory frameworks, with steadily rising GHG reduction targets playing a central role. The potential for providers such as hydrogen refuelling station operators is considerable and is expected to increase further with upcoming regulatory changes, such as the planned introduction of a sub-quota for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs).
