Last updated: 13 January 2023

The Chinese government laid out a medium- and long-term development plan for hydrogen, for the period 2021-2035. China targets to bring 50000 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles on the road by 2025 and to build a number of hydrogen refuelling stations. The plan targets green hydrogen production using renewable feedstock resources to reach 100000-200000 tonnes per year by 2025. Besides transport, the plan envisages the use of clean hydrogen in other sectors: energy storage, electricity generation and industry. Currently, China is already the world largest producer and consumer of hydrogen.
