Overview / Topics / Hydrogen and fuel cells

Hydrogen and fuel cells

Fuel-cell vehicle demonstration city clusters and hydrogen industry support.

Summary

Hydrogen and fuel cells: the fuel-cell vehicle demonstration city clusters, the 2022 long-term hydrogen plan and the hydrogen standards system.

China's stance

Hydrogen is positioned as part of the future energy system and a strategic emerging industry. Support replaced purchase subsidies with rewards to city clusters for meeting targets (以奖代补), with the money steered to industrialising key fuel-cell technologies rather than vehicle assembly.
