Abstract
The green hydrogen supply chain involves multiple stakeholders whose interactions influence production quality, market trust, and system sustainability. This study examines how blockchain technology can reshape these interactions by enhancing stakeholders' interaction in supply chain system of green hydrogen and addressing consumer concerns about hydrogen purity. Using a game-theoretic model, we compare a conventional supply chain with a blockchain-enabled system, where key players - upstream producers and downstream retailers - make strategic decisions on pricing, quality, and blockchain adoption. Our findings show that blockchain implementation fosters stakeholder trust, leverages pricing strategies, and has the potential to improve overall supply chain efficiency. Furthermore, incentive mechanisms, including tax benefits and manufacturer rewards, encourage blockchain adoption, reinforcing sustainability goals. This research provides a structured analysis of how digital innovations can enhance supply chain procedures and offers strategic insights for policymakers and industry leaders aiming at a transparent and competitive hydrogen economy.
