Core Features
CertaLink Energy Certification Manager is structured around automated sustainability verification and digital traceability for low-carbon fuels and energy commodities. Its main capabilities include:
Blockchain-Based Certification Infrastructure — The platform uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to create tamper-resistant sustainability certificates and traceability records for renewable energy products.
Automated Sustainability Certificate Generation — CertaLink automatically generates sustainability declarations once operational and verification conditions are met through approved certification schemes.
Power-to-X Traceability — The platform tracks renewable electricity, hydrogen, e-fuels, and related products across multi-stage Power-to-X production chains.
Industrial Data Integration — CertaLink can connect with instrumentation systems, industrial control infrastructure, and smart meters to access operational production data in near real time.
RFNBO and Renewable Fuel Verification — The platform supports verification workflows for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs), including greenhouse-gas balancing and electricity sourcing criteria.
Closing Insights
CertaLink reflects Siemens Energy’s broader involvement in emerging hydrogen and Power-to-X infrastructure markets rather than conventional ESG software. The platform was developed jointly with TÜV SÜD and dena in response to growing regulatory pressure for verifiable sustainability claims in low-carbon fuels and renewable energy supply chains. Siemens Energy presents the system as infrastructure for creating tradable, certifiable low-carbon commodities, particularly green hydrogen and synthetic fuels. It has recently been deployed in projects such as Nobian’s chlor-alkali electrolysis plant in Germany and the Haru Oni e-fuels demonstration project in Chile.
On pricing, Siemens Energy states that organizations are charged an onboarding fee during the initial set up of CertaLink Energy Certification Manager, followed by an annual membership fee after onboarding is completed. Additional charges are then applied whenever new sustainability certificates are generated through the platform. This usage-based approach aligns the software more closely with certification infrastructure and transaction systems than with traditional enterprise sustainability software subscriptions.
