Transportation Sector: Increase Profits with HBE Certificates

Do you charge your vehicle using your own electricity? If so, you can earn money with every charge through HBE certificates.

Earn HBE credits with your own energy

As a transportation company that uses electric vehicles and generates its own electricity, you can earn HBE certificates. These certificates are worth a direct monetary value per kilowatt-hour charged.

Are you charging using battery storage at the right time? If so, you’ll receive up to four times as many HBE credits. This way, you’ll get the most out of both your solar energy and your charging infrastructure.

What are HBE certificates?

RBUs, or Renewable Fuel Units, are certificates you receive for supplying renewable energy to vehicles, such as electric trucks or buses.

Fuel suppliers are legally required to purchase renewable energy. They fulfill this obligation by buying HBE certificates from companies like yours. Do you use your own solar power to charge your vehicles? If so, you are entitled to these HBE certificates—and therefore to compensation.

Earn money with HBE’s every time you charge

Immediate return

  • For every 278 kWh of renewable charging power, you receive one HBE. The market value ranges from €10 to €15.

Up to 4 times more with storage

  • With battery storage, you can charge at the best time. That way, every kilowatt-hour counts 100%, and you earn more.

No extra work

  • HBE data is automatically recorded. You upload the data; we handle the recording, reporting, and optimization.

Additional revenue model

  • In addition to saving costs, your charging station now also generates recurring revenue without requiring any modifications or extra work.

With Boltainer, you get more HBE units out of every load

At Boltainer, we provide smart battery systems that store self-generated power and deploy it at the right moment. It’s not just any battery—it’s a system that calculates, predicts, and automatically optimizes for transportation companies.

This way, you earn more HBE credits per kilowatt-hour, without any extra effort. We do more than just supply: we work with you to find the best solution, handle the installation, and stay involved with monitoring and support.

Why we do things differently at Boltainer

“We believe that energy storage isn’t a cost—it’s an opportunity. With our battery systems, you get more value out of every kWh. We combine powerful hardware with intelligent software to give you control over both your energy consumption and your energy yield.”

Answers to frequently asked questions

Can't find your question here? Please contact us.

How much is an HBE worth?

The market value ranges from €10 to €15 per unit. The more efficiently you charge using self-generated electricity, the more HBEs you receive—and the higher your return.

Do I need solar panels to earn HBE’s?

Not necessarily. But if you charge using grid power, only 39.9% counts toward your total. With your own solar energy, every kilowatt-hour counts in full. With storage, you get the most out of it.

How does Boltainer assist with HBE certification?

We handle the technical setup, ensure integration with the NEa registry, and automate monitoring and reporting. All you have to do is upload the data.

What if I charge at multiple locations?

Our batteries are portable and scalable. You can deploy them flexibly at permanent or temporary charging locations—ideal for companies with a mobile or dispersed fleet.
