In recent years, China has emerged as a powerhouse in hydrogen energy production, making significant strides towards sustainable energy solutions. By the end of 2024, the country had solidified its position as a global leader, surpassing 36.5 million metric tons in both hydrogen gas production and consumption. This achievement was supported by over 560 hydrogen energy-specific policies implemented nationwide and the integration of hydrogen energy development into the government work reports of 22 provincial-level regions. The industry's growth was further fueled by investments diversifying across the entire hydrogen energy spectrum, from research and development to innovative applications. Northern regions of China, with their strong foundation in traditional industries and abundant energy resources, played a vital role in driving hydrogen energy projects. The country's focus on transitioning its power system to green electricity and engaging private enterprises in the energy sector reflects a strategic move towards enhancing the quality and speed of hydrogen energy development in the upcoming years. With a promising outlook for frontier technologies like hydrogen energy and a shift towards clean energy dominance, China's hydrogen energy sector is poised for further advancements and breakthroughs.
