Abstract

Sustainable development of hydrogen energy industry plays an important role in new energy utilization and clean energy generation application. However, there are still potential constraints. This paper examines the external environment of hydrogen energy industry market utilization, policy regulation and enterprises behavior. Based on data mining technology for industry-focused semantic network and text emotional analysis, the existing weak links in incentives and implementation aspects are revealed. Research and development investment and application effects are the current focus, environmental and CSR are still not and market atmosphere has an important guiding role.The empirical research further shows the key impel role of technological innovation and corporate social responsibility performance in enterprises performance improvement. Corporate governance efficiency under demand transmission also important. Based on the chain relationship between market organization, behavior and performance, strengthening technological innovation incentive and promoting their ability to fulfill social responsibility plays an important role in driving enterprises sustainable profitability. Especially there exist the initial promotion effect and the scale effect. Thus, forms a competitive market for the hydrogen energy industry, enhances investor confidence, then forming a new SCP mode of linkage development of enterprises and industries, can promote hydrogen energy rapid development under the decarbonization mode. Suggestions are given.
