Enhancing Transparency And Efficiency In Green Hydrogen Logistics Via Blochain And Smart Contracts

Authors : Chaib Widad .

Abstract

Objective: This research proposes a multi-layered blockchain-based framework designed to provide a decentralized and immutable ledger for GH2 logistics. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for real-time monitoring and smart contracts for algorithmic execution, the architecture ensures that every hydrogen batch is linked to verifiable renewable inputs and specific sustainability criteria. Methodology: The study adopts a design science research (DSR) approach, synthesizing evidence from a systematic literature review with the development of a conceptual architecture. The framework is benchmarked against international standards, including ISO 14687 and the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), to ensure regulatory and institutional alignment. Implications: The results demonstrate that the proposed framework provides enhanced end-to-end traceability, systematically preventing "greenwashing" through tamper-proof carbon accounting. By reducing transaction costs and providing a standardized layer of trust, this framework facilitates credible international trade and fosters a scalable global market for green hydrogen.
