China is intensifying its focus on low-carbon hydrogen as part of a national decarbonisation effort, with plans to accelerate its development in the industrial sector. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with other agencies, unveiled a scheme to boost the application of low-carbon hydrogen, urging refiners and chemical companies to increase its use to cut down emissions. The plan also encourages research into green methanol and green ammonia, derived from hydrogen, for power generation and transport. Additionally, there are initiatives to expand the use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and develop hydrogen-powered ships, aircraft, and locomotives by 2027. The Energy Law in China now treats hydrogen as an energy resource, a move expected to reduce restrictions and drive investments in the sector. With China being a significant producer of green hydrogen, the country aims to leverage its low-cost production capabilities to become a major global exporter of green hydrogen. However, the geopolitical landscape for hydrogen is evolving, with the EU imposing restrictions on Chinese-made equipment to protect the market. Despite this, the future looks bright for China in leading the way in green hydrogen production and playing a vital role in the global clean energy race.
