China s hydrogen energy and energy storage development trends

How to develop China's hydrogen energy industry?

Based on the goals of peaking carbon dioxide emissions, carbon neutrality, and China’s mid- and long-term energy development plan, the development of China’s hydrogen energy industry must proceed from the national conditions and from the actual needs of energy development, while moving in the direction of green and low-carbon technologies.

How will China's Energy Revolution impact the hydrogen energy industry?

China’s deep implementation of energy revolution and vigorous development of renewable energy will push the development of hydrogen energy industry into a new stage. China has made a solemn commitment to “strive for the peak of carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060”.

Why is hydrogen a fundamental technology in China?

Hydrogen application is growing as a fundamental technology in China because of concerns regarding carbon neutrality, industry distribution, and renewable energy. As a world-class manufacturing country, China already has preconditions for the industrialisation of hydrogen energy.

What is China's first top-level hydrogen industry design?

A significant milestone was reached in 2022 with the release of China's first top-level hydrogen industry design: Medium and Long-Term Planning for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035). This plan clarifies hydrogen's three strategic positions: 1) It is an integral part of the national energy system.

What is China's long-term plan for the hydrogen industry?

In March 2022, China issued the Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035) (hereinafter referred to as “Plan”) , making the irst nationwide mid-to-long-term plan specifically for the hydrogen industry in China.

What are the advantages of China's hydrogen energy industry?

At the same time, they have absolute advantages in upstream hydrogen resources, midstream storage, transportation and equipment manufacturing and downstream customers, and have planned and laid out the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, which are the leaders of China’s hydrogen energy industry in the future.
