Mainland China has positioned hydrogen as a vital element in its low-carbon energy transition strategy, with a strong commitment to leveraging hydrogen for decarbonization. The country is set to install approximately 2.5 GW of hydrogen electrolyzer capacity by the end of the year, enabling the production of 220,000 tpa of green hydrogen—6 ktpa more than the rest of the world combined. China's national plan targets green hydrogen production of 200,000 tpa by the end of 2025, a goal that is likely to be surpassed by the end of this year. The nation's substantial progress in adopting electrolyzer technology has solidified its position as a global leader in hydrogen infrastructure, although a significant portion of its hydrogen supply currently originates from grey hydrogen sources. To achieve its carbon neutrality goals, China must transition to low-carbon hydrogen production methods, as outlined in its national hydrogen plan released in 2022. While progress has been made, China faces challenges in defining 'low carbon' and 'renewable' hydrogen, necessitating alignment with global standards for more impactful change.
