China has emerged as a global leader in hydrogen production and consumption, with a focus on developing essential technologies for a clean and efficient energy system. Zhao Yingmin, head of the Chinese delegation at COP29 in Baku, emphasized the importance of hydrogen energy in global energy transition. The Chinese government aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, with hydrogen playing a crucial role in these targets. Plans have been rolled out to increase renewable hydrogen production and reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly. Hydrogen is set to become an integral part of China's national energy system, with initiatives to utilize it in vehicles, industrial sectors, and steel-making facilities. Despite challenges like high production costs, the hydrogen energy industry in China is on a positive development trajectory. Ma Yongsheng, chairman of Sinopec, highlighted the need for improved standards and international cooperation in hydrogen development, noting the sector is still in its early stages of development.
