Gas transmission company Gasgrid has issued Finland’s first-ever guarantees of origin for green hydrogen produced by P2X Solutions at its Harjavalta plant. A guarantee of origin is the only way to demonstrate to the market that gas has been produced from renewable energy sources.
“In spring 2025, we inaugurated Finland’s first industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta, where hydrogen is produced with clean renewable energy. I believe that the guarantee of origin granted to us is a clear competitive advantage in the future hydrogen market, and we want to be a pioneer in this area as well,” says Herkko Plit, CEO of P2X Solutions.
“This is a historic and concrete step in the commercial utilization of hydrogen gas, demonstrating the progress of the hydrogen economy. The guarantee of origin also strengthens confidence in the traceability of renewable hydrogen,” says Janne Grönlund, Head of Gas Business at Gasgrid and Sara Kärki, Head of Hydrogen Development at Gasgrid.
“There is demand for guarantees of origin because renewable gases play a significant role in achieving Finland’s and Europe’s carbon neutrality goals. The guarantee of origin proves that clean gases, such as hydrogen, are produced from renewable energy sources. Without guarantees of origin, gas producers cannot sell or market gas as renewable,” says Service Manager Heli Haapea at Gasgrid, who is developing the system for guarantees of origin.
In Finland, the gas transmission company Gasgrid acts as the administrator of the gas guarantee of origin register and the issuer of guarantees of origin. Gasgrid is authorized to issue both national and European guarantees of origin to gas and hydrogen production facilities in Finland. A guarantee of origin is the only way to ensure that clean gases, such as hydrogen, synthetic methane, and biogas, are produced from renewable energy sources.
P2X Solutions, a producer of green hydrogen and a pioneer in Power-to-X technology, registered with Gasgrid’s gas guarantee of origin system in December 2024 and has now applied for its first hydrogen guarantees of origin.
