Hubei province in China has unveiled an ambitious draft plan to accelerate the growth of its hydrogen industry by 2027. The province aims to double the scale of its hydrogen industry, targeting an output value of 100 billion yuan. The plan emphasizes technological advancements, strengthening industrial and supply chains, and building a hydrogen storage and transportation network. Wuhan is envisioned as the central hub for Hubei's hydrogen industry, with plans to establish a national hydrogen equipment center focusing on electrolysers and fuel cells. The province will explore pilot projects for hydrogen-blended and pure hydrogen pipelines, along with prioritizing the construction of hydrogen refueling stations. Subsidies will be provided for transportation-related hydrogen projects, fuel cell component manufacturers, and innovation centers. Hubei also intends to form a provincial hydrogen energy industry alliance to set industry standards and promote fuel cell use in various sectors. The plan aims to support renewable hydrogen technologies, innovation in solid-state hydrogen storage and fuel cells, and major projects with investment subsidies.
