Reuters reveals Deutsche Boerse’s EEX to launch hydrogen index in 2022

Reuters exclusively reported that Deutsche Boerse’s power and gas exchange EEX plans to launch an index to price hydrogen next year to aid trading of the commodity that is expected to play a big role in the shift to a green economy. The index, details of which will be released before the end of the year, aims to publish a price of hydrogen that will reflect prices as they emerge from the over-the-counter market and bilateral trades in import and export agreements. It would be the first publicly-traded index tracking hydrogen as a commodity.
