Prospects and pathway of hydrogen energy industry toward participating in carbon trading markets
Both hydrogen energy industry and carbon trading markets are fundamental tools for enterprises to achieve the goal of low-carbon emission and the social low-carbon transition.In order to stimulate the potential of emission reduction and make this industry in high-quality development come true,some problems about the hydrogen industry participating in the trading markets were put forward and analyzed after untangling two of them.In addition,countermeasures and sugges-tions were made.Results show that(i)hydrogen energy,as a kind of clean and carbon-free energy source,boasts signifi-cant prospects in carbon emission reduction,which is an essential way for profound decarbonization;(ii)its participation is confronted with shortcomings,for example,limited market coverage,imperfect industrial chain,and deficient methods to evaluate the emission;and(iii)introducing the hydrogen energy industry into the markets,consummating the industrial chain,and upgrading evaluation methods can stimulate the potential of hydrogen energy in carbon emission reduction and achieve the deep integration of both hydrogen energy industry and carbon trading markets.In conclusion,this participation is conducive to promoting their collaborative development and materializing the optimization on energy structure.
