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… -

Pilot demonstration program
China’s National Energy Administration published a plan for pilot initiatives across 11 areas of the hydrogen value chain targeting commercial deployment by June 2028. Each project should demonstrate technological progression, commercial potential, substantial carbon reduction benefits, and replicable frameworks. For hydrogen production, electrolyzers should be of at least 100 MW predominantly powered by paired renewable energy, with no more than 20% of renewable power fed into the grid. Minimum length for hydrogen pipelines is 100 km and minimum size for storage projects is 20000 Nm3. NEA focuses on uses for refining, coal-to-liquid replacement, power generation and long…

Hydrogen Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)
China’s medium- and long-term hydrogen plan targets 50,000 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles and 100,000–200,000 tonnes/year of green hydrogen production by 2025, supported by the rollout of hydrogen refueling stations. The strategy promotes clean hydrogen use across transport, energy storage, power generation, and industry. Already the world’s largest hydrogen producer and consumer, China aims to shift toward renewable-based hydrogen. In March 2022, the National Energy Administration emphasized prioritizing renewable hydrogen and strictly limiting fossil-based hydrogen production.
