World's First ISCC EU RFNBO Ammonia Certification Renewed After Annual Audit

DA’AN, China, October 27, 2026 – The Da’an Green Ammonia Project has successfully passed its annual surveillance audit under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC EU) scheme, securing a one-year extension of the world’s first ISCC EU certification for Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) Ammonia.

The successful renewal reinforces the project’s compliance credentials and supports its continued expansion into international green-fuel markets.

The project, operated by Da'an Jidian Green Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd., obtained the world’s first ISCC EU RFNBO Ammonia certification in October 2025. The certification marked a significant milestone for China’s green hydrogen-based energy industry, demonstrating compliance with stringent EU sustainability requirements and helping open international markets to Chinese green ammonia.

The certification has already supported commercial exports. In July 2026, the project shipped 3,750 tonnes of green ammonia to South Korea, setting a global record for the largest single-batch green ammonia export. The shipment demonstrated how renewable electricity generated in the Songnen Plain can be converted into traceable green ammonia for international trade.

Since obtaining its initial certification, Da'an Jidian Green Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd. has maintained a systematic data-management process. The company collects production and operational data every month, regularly submits greenhouse gas accounting statements and mass balance records, and gathers supporting documentation across the entire production chain. Cross-checking procedures help ensure the accuracy of source data and maintain end-to-end traceability, providing a reliable foundation for annual audits.

To keep pace with evolving certification requirements, the company has strengthened both external technical support and internal capabilities. Professional consulting organisations provide monthly, quarterly and annual technical guidance, while the company has organised three training sessions covering updated ISCC EU requirements, internal audit procedures and sustainability declarations.

It has also conducted clause-by-clause risk assessments against the revised standards, reviewed original production records and strengthened its evidence-tracking procedures. Identified issues were entered into corrective-action registers and addressed through a closed-loop management process. Multiple mock audits were conducted to check compliance documentation against the audit requirements, resulting in improvements to 24 supporting documents.

During the latest annual audit, the ISCC audit team examined greenhouse gas emissions across the green ammonia production process, compliance documentation and the project's end-to-end traceability system.

Following the review, the project’s operational data and supporting documentation were confirmed to meet the applicable ISCC EU requirements, allowing it to successfully pass the annual surveillance audit and extend its certification for another year.

From securing the world's first certification for RFNBO ammonia to entering international markets, achieving record-breaking exports and establishing a regular compliance-management system, the HYGLOBAL Da'an Green Ammonia Project has developed an integrated pathway covering technology demonstration, international certification, commercial exports and long-term operations.

Looking ahead, the company plans to build on its first-mover advantage in certification and further expand its presence in overseas green-fuel markets. With stable and reliable green production capacity, it aims to support the global energy transition and establish HYGLOBAL as a recognised and trusted international green-energy brand.
