China's hydrogen energy industry is transitioning from pilot projects to a phase of "orderly breaking," with policy, technology, and international cooperation playing key roles.
The National Energy Administration issued the "China Hydrogen Energy Development Report (2025)", highlighting the industry's progress and outlining strategies for future growth.
China leads globally in hydrogen production and renewable hydrogen capacity, accounting for over one-third of global consumption, with renewable energy hydrogen production capacity exceeding 250,000 tons per year.
Key advancements include megawatt-level electrolyzers, high-pressure pipeline projects, and the promotion of fuel cell vehicles, with approximately 24,000 vehicles deployed.
The report identifies challenges in cost, standards, and supply chain dependencies that must be addressed for large-scale rollout.
The "Three North" region focuses on green hydrogen production, while the eastern region emphasizes technology and high-end applications.
China is the world's largest exporter of electrolyzers, and relevant enterprises have accelerated the layout of international cooperation projects along the "Belt and Road".
