A mix of technologies on hydrogen expected to rise in China; country to expand blue and green hydrogen simultaneously.
Here’s an article posted in Upstream Online.
According to the article,
- China’s hydrogen market is set to see a mix of technologies developing in the coming years.
- Green hydrogen, powered by solar PV and other renewables, is expected to develop at scale.
- The Chinese government has set a target for renewable energy sources to cover 20% of the country’s total energy demand by 2025.
China has implemented several policies and incentives to promote green hydrogen adoption in order to achieve its targets. Here are some notable ones:
- Subsidies and Funding:
- China offers financial support through subsidies, grants, and low-interest loans for green hydrogen projects. These incentives encourage investment in research, development, and deployment of hydrogen technologies.
- Renewable Energy Integration:
- Policies encourage integrating renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar) with hydrogen production. By using surplus renewable electricity for electrolysis, China aims to efficiently produce green hydrogen.
- Hydrogen Infrastructure Development:
- China invests in a robust hydrogen infrastructure, including refueling stations, pipelines, and storage facilities. This infrastructure supports hydrogen-powered vehicles and industrial applications.
- Collaboration with Industry and Research:
- The government collaborates with industry players, research institutions, and international partners to accelerate green hydrogen technology. Joint ventures and knowledge-sharing initiatives are encouraged.
- Demonstration Projects and Pilots:
- China supports pilot projects showcasing green hydrogen feasibility and benefits. These serve as models for scaling up adoption across regions.
