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.
