The Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the National Energy Administration of China have released the first methodology for voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction in hydrogen production, specifically for projects utilizing wind and solar energy. The methodology allows projects to generate additional CCER revenue from hydrogen produced via renewable energy electrolysis.

Key stipulations include that the renewable energy used must come from the project's own power generation facilities, which can be wind or solar, and these facilities cannot engage in other emission reduction trading. Additionally, projects must adhere to strict water resource management regulations and ensure that monitoring data is connected to the national carbon market platform. Compliance with national laws and industry policies is also mandatory.
