#China_Hydrogen_News 【China Hydrogen News】The National Development and Reform Commission of China Promotes Integrated Hydrogen Demonstration Projects to Support the Development of Green and Low-Carbon Technology On September 20th, the General Office of China's National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice to initiate the application process for the second batch of green and low-carbon advanced technology demonstration projects. This application focuses on "production, storage, transportation, and utilization" integrated hydrogen demonstration projects, with a special emphasis on supporting the construction of hydrogen transportation pipelines. In addition, the demonstration projects of green hydrogen equipment technology verification bases will also be supported, including key technologies such as alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer testing, hydrogen storage system and process inspection, mobile refueling system evaluation, and hydrogen quality analysis testing. These projects aim to clarify the application scenarios of hydrogen energy and ensure its compliance with national industrial policies. The release of this notice signifies that China has taken another step forward in technological advancement and industrial layout in the field of hydrogen energy. By supporting integrated hydrogen energy demonstration projects, China can not only promote the innovation and application of hydrogen energy technology but also facilitate the commercialization and scaling up of green and low-carbon technology. This is of great significance for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, optimizing the energy structure, and achieving carbon neutrality goals.

“China is probably one of the most active countries trying to popularise hydrogen and develop the hydrogen economy,” said Jenhao Han, managing director of Asia at Hy24, a Paris-based global investment firm exclusively focused on the hydrogen industry. At a forum in Beijing in April, Ouyang Minggao, a Tsinghua University professor, said China has great advantages in taking the lead in manufacturing green hydrogen-related products and equipment such as electrolysers, fuel cells and fuel-cell vehicles, as well as ammonia and methanol, two carriers of hydrogen. He called hydrogen the “fourth pillar” of China’s economy, following the country’s success in solar panels, electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries, which accounted for 1 trillion yuan (US$138 billion) of exports last year and powered China’s 5.2 per cent gross domestic product growth. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, can also help ease China’s solar and wind overcapacity issue. Last year, China added a record 301 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity, nearly 60 per cent of the global total. However, the country’s power infrastructure was unable to consume much of the generated power. “Green hydrogen projects can help absorb some of the renewable power produced in northwestern China, where most of the large-scale wind and solar projects are located and power demand is low,” said Yao Zhe, a Beijing-based global policy analyst at Greenpeace East Asia. #GreenHydrogen #Electroloysers #China https://lnkd.in/eQFqfekH

Western governments fear #China could take the lead in yet another major #green #energy market: #hydrogen. But, as Katrina Northrop reports, the hydrogen industry is far from settled. For years, Chinese #solar companies have led the world in harnessing the power of the sun. Now the country is competing hard in the race to produce more energy from the universe’s most abundant element — hydrogen. The latest landmark for China’s developing industry came last week, when Shanghai-based hydrogen #technology company REFIRE Group filed for an initial public offering in Hong Kong that could raise more than $100 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. Refire produces essential equipment such as #electrolyzers, which produce hydrogen with electricity, as well as #fuel cells which use the gas to power products such as electric vehicles. Firms like Refire have already helped China achieve a significant role in the emerging hydrogen power supply chain. The country is the largest producer and consumer of hydrogen globally, and as of last year, controls more than one-third of global electrolyzer manufacturing: Europe and North America respectively control 27 percent and 15 percent, according to the Clean Hydrogen Monitor. As the market rapidly scales up, #policymakers and companies outside of China worry that the hydrogen industry will follow the same trajectory as solar — where the Chinese #government poured subsidies into supporting companies, pushing down prices for panels and other products so far that it effectively wiped out foreign competitors. The global landscape for the hydrogen industry, however, is far from settled. For the article in full, follow the link below:

#China_Hydrogen_News 【China Hydrogen News】Inner Mongolia in China is vigorously promoting research and development in hydrogen energy technology to accelerate the transformation of its energy structure.   In mid-October, the Energy Bureau of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China released the "Several Policy Measures for Energy Technology Innovation in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region," announcing that it will promote scientific and technological research and development in key areas of hydrogen energy, such as independent control of key equipment, high efficiency in production, and safe storage and transportation over long distances on a large scale. The policy supports enterprises in applying for national and autonomous region major demonstration application projects, involving key technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and hydrogen compressors, as well as the construction of hydrogen energy equipment verification bases and application demonstration projects. Against the backdrop of China's goals for "carbon peak and carbon neutrality," this policy measure in Inner Mongolia will not only systematically advance the research and development, pilot transformation, and engineering application of hydrogen products and technologies, providing strong policy support for the development of the local hydrogen energy industry, but it will also continue to promote the continuous transformation and upgrading of China's energy structure towards a green and low-carbon direction.

Asia is rapidly expanding its low-carbon hydrogen capacity to drive decarbonization across power, transport, and steel industries. With 12% of global feasibility projects and growing capacity, countries like China and India aim to lead in hydrogen technology, boosting sustainability and energy independence.
