Introduction

This paper begins with an overview of key issues pertinent to hydrogen labelling by looking at the element hydrogen closely, its functions, utilisation, forms, and ways that it can beneficially impact the environment. The next section examines carbon capture, utilisation and storage and hydrogen labelling, and includes recognition of CCU labelling, particularly in relation to labelling CCU-based products serves as an important method of measuring, disseminating and increasing knowledge of environmental benefits. Section three examines the role of product labelling in climate change mitigation. The extent to which a uniform Life Cycle Assessment guideline could better implement CCU is also considered. Section four examines the directions for labelling in energy transition. Finally, section five concludes this paper, and includes consideration of the overall lessons that can be learned from both hydrogen and CCU labelling, among other matters.
