Inner Mongolia 6th provincial Hydrogen Development Plan
China’s northern province Inner Mongolia established two critical hydrogen policies – a Hydrogen Industry 14th Five-Year Plan and a Hydrogen Industry Development Execution Plan, aiming to take a leading position in China’s embryonic green hydrogen sector.
The two policies outline the ambition to build a green hydrogen production base in the province totalling 0.5 million tons per year renewable hydrogen production capacity, 100 refuelling stations, and 5000 fuel cell heavy-duty trucks by the end of 2025.
Meanwhile, the province also will unleash ten demo projects in the fields of green hydrogen metallurgy, green hydrogen power-to… -

Inner Mongolia Policy to promote the hydrogen energy industry
Provincial Hydrogen Development Plan – High-Quality Growth Strategy (2025 Targets)
As the fourth hydrogen-related policy issued in two months, this execution plan builds on the province’s 14th Five-Year Hydrogen Industry Plan (Feb 2025). It sets more ambitious targets than the national plan, aiming to accelerate hydrogen deployment across sectors. By 2025, the province targets:
15+ green hydrogen demonstration projects
500,000 tons/year green hydrogen production capacity
1 million tons/year industrial by-product hydrogen recovery capacity
100+ hydrogen refueling stations
10,000+ fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), including 5,000+ heavy-duty trucks
10+ demonstration projects applying… -

Japan-Mongolia Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA)
The Japan-Mongolia Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) entered into force on June 7, 2016. The agreement includes most energy products and their constituents including but not limited to: iron, metals, steel, battery packs and cells, anodes, heat pumps, electric cars, and ICE cars. Specific rule of origins applies to confer originating status in order to qualify for preferential tariff treatment e.g. wholly produced in the parties' territories, materials undergoing change in tariff classification or satisfying a minimum local value content of 40 - 50%.

(Inner Mongolia) Coal Industry Development 14th Five-Year Plan - Coalbed Methane Development and Utilization Supporting Scheme
Inner Mongolia has published the coalbed methane development and utilisation strategy document to support its coal industry development between 2021 and 2025. It has set a target to investment 936 million yuan (140 million USD, as of 23 June 2022) in coalbed methane, boost production capacity to 155 million m3/year and utilisation to 124 million m3/year. The scheme outlines several upcoming plans for the sector: explore methane reserves in a list of key coal mines; build demonstration zones; advance technological innovation in coalbed methane extraction; strengthen environmental protection regulations and supervision; and support industry development with preferential financial…

Uzbekistan
Despite being energy self-sufficient thanks to its gas sector, Uzbekistan's ageing infrastructure struggles to meet growing domestic demand. Losses, overuse and financing remain problematic. Wide-ranging reforms focused on improving and diversification the energy sector are being introduced and the government has adopted the Strategy of Actions 2017-2021, which prioritizes improving energy efficiency and increasing generating capacity and use of renewables. Uzbekistan is part of the EU4Energy Programme, an initiative focused on evidence-based policymaking for the energy sector.

Armenia
Imports of oil and gas cover 77% of Armenia’s energy needs. Current energy policy is focused on developing indigenous energy sources, mainly renewable, and on replacing the country’s main nuclear reactor. Energy Efficiency policy has also become a bigger priority as energy security and reliability remain key focus areas. Armenia is part of the EU4Energy Programme, an initiative focused on evidence-based policymaking for the energy sector.

Hungary
Hungary was among the first countries globally, in June 2020, to make a legal commitment to become carbon neutral by 2050 and plans to phase out coal by 2030 at the latest. Enhanced energy efficiency, increased renewable and nuclear electricity and electrification of end-use sectors are identified as the key drivers towards the 2050 target. Hungary plans to build two new nuclear unit and while solar PV has grown notably, wind lacks behind its potential but the change in siting limits for wind turbines are likely to have a positive impact on the sector.
