China’s Hydrogen Strategy: National vs. Regional Plans

By Yushan Lou and Anne-Sophie Corbeau

While the US and European medias have dedicated significant bandwidth to the topic of lowcarbon hydrogen in the United States and Europe, they have reported far less on unfolding developments around that topic in China. This disparity is especially notable because China stands as the foremost global player in hydrogen production and consumption.1 The country’s substantial market size and extensive industrial infrastructure not only facilitate fast technological advancements in the hydrogen space, but also offer the potential to achieve economies of scale— two developments that can significantly influence the global hydrogen market landscape. In light of these circumstances, it is essential to understand China’s hydrogen strategy, including how the country plans to start decarbonizing its current hydrogen consumption and expand future use and production.

A notable feature of China’s hydrogen strategy is that it is not, in fact, singular, but instead comprised of a national strategy and a multitude of regional strategies. Since the release of China’s Medium and Long-Term Strategy for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035) (referred to as “the National Plan”) in March 2022,2 there has been significant development in the country’s hydrogen space. However, the National Plan’s targets for renewable hydrogen production may appear conservative given the scale of hydrogen consumption in the country: a range of 100,000 to 200,000 tons per year by 2025 represents only 0.3 to 0.6 percent of the 33 million tons (Mt) of fossil-based hydrogen consumed in China in 2020.3 (For context, in 2022, electrolytic hydrogen’s production level was still below 100,000 tons globally, and as of early 2023 about 4.5 Mt of renewable hydrogen globally by 2025 has been committed to, planned, and

announced.4 Some regions appear more bullish, including the EU with its aspirational renewable hydrogen target of up to 1 Mt by 2024.5) By contrast, provinces, cities, and municipalities across China have introduced their own hydrogen development plans that establish far more ambitious renewable hydrogen goals. Hence, the provincial plans viewed together may offer a more accurate picture of China’s hydrogen industry over the coming decades than the National Plan.

This commentary analyzes these somewhat divergent national and local hydrogen strategies comparatively to provide a nuanced understanding of China’s evolving hydrogen landscape. Its key findings are as follows:

● The targets of China’s provinces combined are far more ambitious than its national targets, with Inner Mongolia leading the way. The latter province is aiming to reach 480,000 tons of renewable hydrogen production per year by 2025 (2.5 to 5 times the national target). China may have set a conservative national renewable hydrogen target to test the waters, allowing local governments to charge ahead.

Inner Mongolia could reach around 60 percent of its 2025 target based on projects that are currently under construction (and excluding those still in the planning stage, which may or may not materialize). This region alone would largely meet the national target for renewable hydrogen. While the provinces’ targets may not be fully met, they provide a more realistic view of what China can accomplish.

● Though climate mitigation is certainly one key underlying driver of China’s hydrogen strategy, industrial and economic motivations seem more prominent in the short term. China has placed less emphasis on carbon intensity than the EU and the US, as evidenced by the Chinese government’s lack of a formal definition of renewable hydrogen.

An Overview of China’s Hydrogen Landscape

China holds a substantial share of global hydrogen production, contributing roughly one-third of total output at around 33 Mt per year.6 This production heavily relies on fossil fuels (79 percent)— and about 21 percent of it originates as industrial by-product—resulting in 360 Mt of CO emissions.7 Meanwhile, the contribution of renewable hydrogen remains marginal, accounting for less than 0.1 percent of production.8 As shown in Figure 1, China’s industrial sector plays a pivotal role in driving the country’s hydrogen consumption.9

Rather than evenly distributed across the country, hydrogen production in China is concentrated in the northwest and northeastern regions (see Figure 2). The highest production levels are in the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia (hereafter “Inner Mongolia”) and Shandong, each of which accounts for more than 4 Mt per year, followed by Xinjiang, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, at more than 3 Mt per year.

The northwest and northeast regions are also known for high coal output, underscoring the strong link between hydrogen production and coal resources. Abundant coal reserves in places like Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Shandong (north China), which cater to the nearby petrochemical and chemical sectors, support hydrogen production and consumption, which typically occur within the same facility.10 The northwest is also positioned to become a hub for renewable hydrogen supply due to its high abundance of renewable energy resources.11 However, given that east and southeast China are anticipated to emerge as significant demand centers soon, a new challenge in the form of a geographical disjuncture between hydrogen supply and demand will likely present itself. China’s lack of transport infrastructure represents an additional challenge: the country currently possesses only 400 kilometers of hydrogen pipelines.12 Recent initiatives to develop infrastructure such as short-distance hydrogen pipelines, hydrogen refueling stations, and liquid hydrogen storage facilities are primarily concentrated in four major industrial clusters—the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base (see Figure 2)—so may not be able to connect renewable hydrogen supplies with primary demand centers.

China’s National and Regional Hydrogen Development Strategies Compared

In September 2021, China announced what it called its “dual carbon goal” of carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.13 As a first step toward achieving that goal, China’s State Council introduced an Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030, which emphasized the role of hydrogen in sectors such as steel, petrochemicals, and transportation (including heavy-duty freight), as well as technologies such as renewable hydrogen production.14 This was soon followed by the announcement of China’s National Plan, which lays out the vision for China’s hydrogen industry by 2035. The National Plan strategically positions hydrogen as: (1) an important part of China’s future energy system; (2) an important carrier for achieving a low-carbon energy transition in China; and (3) a key emerging industry and development direction of future industries in China.15 While most of China’s specific targets in this strategic plan are for 2025, many other countries’ national hydrogen strategies outline quantified targets for 2030 (and beyond), which can create the perception that their strategies are more ambitious. China’s plan, however, includes the longterm vision to fully establish the hydrogen industry value chain by 2035. Nonetheless, among the most important of these 2025 targets is the deployment of 50,000 fuel cell vehicles and the production of 0.1 to 0.2 Mt of renewable hydrogen toward a broader goal of reducing annual CO2 emissions by 1 million to 2 million tons by 2025.16

Other highlights from the National Plan include an aim to establish a hydrogen supply system that uses both industrial by-product hydrogen and renewable hydrogen; meanwhile, the use of carbon capture and storage technologies to produce hydrogen from fossil fuels is absent from the strategy. The short-term emphasis on utilizing by-product hydrogen (which is unique to China) is due to the substantial volume of wasted by-product hydrogen (largely fossil-based) extracted from industrial waste gas in sectors such as coking, chlorine, and propane dehydrogenation. Aligned with this plan, numerous local governments (e.g., Anhui, Shanxi, Jilin, Hebei, Shandong, and Hunan) prioritize byproduct hydrogen as the primary supply source through 2025. The development of collection and purification technologies for this hydrogen is also given priority across regions.

The National Plan marked a significant shift in China’s overall energy strategy by making hydrogen a fundamental component of its emerging energy system, positioning the country well to achieve global leadership in hydrogen technologies such as fuel cell vehicles and electrolyzers. Out of the 34 regions that make up China,17 18 have independently introduced their own hydrogen industry 14th Five-Year Plan, a strategic blueprint outlining a province’s economic and social development goals over a five-year period, while the others have incorporated hydrogen into their broader industrial strategies (see Table 1). Given their consideration of diverse provincial resources, infrastructure capacities, and strengths, these regional-level strategies hold valuable insights. One critical conclusion that can be drawn from them is that local policy and industry developments are already moving far beyond the conservative targets of the National Plan. The regions’ cumulative targets for renewable hydrogen amount to over 1.1 to 1.2 Mt by 2025, or 5 to 12 times the national target (see Table 1).18 For instance, Inner Mongolia has an ambitious objective of 480,000 tons of renewable hydrogen by 2025, more than twice the national target.

Localized hydrogen strategies are tailored to leverage regional advantages and infrastructure, leading to varied approaches across provinces. Regions with abundant renewable resources, such as Sichuan with its hydropower potential, prioritize renewable hydrogen production via hydropower. In contrast, coal-rich regions, such as Shanxi, primarily focus on industrial by-product hydrogen from coal-chemical production. Regions with an abundance of both renewable and coal resources, such as Inner Mongolia, adopt a diversified approach.

Different regions also prioritize different applications according to their unique needs. For instance, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Shaanxi aim to deploy hydrogen for fuel cell forklifts and trucks to contribute to mining operations, while Zhejiang focuses on leveraging hydrogen for combined power and heating as well as fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in its public and port logistics transportation system. On the other hand, all regions emphasize establishing hydrogen refueling stations and deploying FCEVs (see Table 1), with many identifying specific quantities of each that should be achieved. This is consistent with China’s longstanding policy of promoting FCEV development, both passenger vehicles and trucking, through the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and other related technological innovations.50 The National Plan only reinforces this policy.

Overall, China’s regional strategies show that local governments will play a crucial role in the early stages of China’s hydrogen development, enabling the central government to “test the waters” in the hydrogen sector.51 Local government officials and senior management in stateowned enterprises are also collaborating with central ministries to implement hydrogen-related policies, such as incentivizing FCEV development and establishing demonstration projects for other hydrogen applications, and the potential for career advancement incentivizes them to align with the national government’s development objectives, which include the advancement of a hydrogen economy and aligning the “dual carbon” goal.52

Inner Mongolia: A Leader in Renewable Hydrogen Development

Inner Mongolia occupies a distinctive position among China’s regions: its 14th Five-Year Plan on hydrogen development, announced in 2022, sets the most ambitious renewable hydrogen production target by far at 480,000 tons per year by 2025. The region has undergone rapid expansion in terms of installed renewable hydrogen production capacity, often developed by major state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and will host the world’s largest renewable hydrogen coal-to-chemical project, which is currently under construction.53

Several factors contribute to Inner Mongolia’s ability to assume a leadership role in hydrogen development in China. The region:

● possesses substantial solar and wind potential, with a technically exploitable wind and solar energy resources of around 57 percent and 21 percent of China’s potential, respectively, making it ideal for renewable hydrogen production.54

● has a pre-existing local hydrogen demand. Local industries, such as steel manufacturing, ammonia production, and oil refining, are known to demand significant amounts of hydrogen.55 The region’s 14th Five-Year Plan for hydrogen development highlights that over 1.3 Mt of industrial by-product hydrogen (from coal-chemical processes) is generated annually, 87 percent of which is consumed by industries.56 Replacing coal-based hydrogen ensures a substantial near-term demand for renewable hydrogen.

benefits from its proximity to the eastern economic hub (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region). The 400-kilometer Ulanqab-Beijing pipeline is not only China’s first long-distance hydrogen pipeline, but also the first to be included in national planning. With an initial capacity of 0.1 million tons per annum (Mtpa) and the potential to expand to 0.5 Mtpa, it connects Ulanqab in Inner Mongolia to Yanshan in Beijing.57

In order to determine whether local targets are a better benchmark than the national renewable hydrogen target, it is crucial to estimate whether Inner Mongolia will achieve its 2025 target.

Based on publicly accessible statistics, Inner Mongolia hosts 50 renewable hydrogen projects, of which three, yielding a combined 10,884 tons/year hydrogen production capacity, are operational. Moreover, 21 projects with a cumulative capacity of over 300,000 tons/year are under construction and projected for completion by 2023 or 2024 (see Table 2). This represents 63 percent of the 480,000 tons/year by 2025 goal established by the province’s five-year plan. Another 26 projects with an aggregate production potential of 1 million tons/year are planned, with around 460,000 tons expected to be online by 2025.

Inner Mongolia may still fall short of its ambitious 2025 target, since there is uncertainty whether planned projects will actually materialize. The region’s ability to reach its ambitious target depends on projects currently under construction as well as additional planned projects that are supposed to begin construction soon (see Table 2). Given that planned projects may never materialize, they can be excluded from the 2025 framework, but those under construction should be included because they are expected to be completed by 2024 at the latest. Based solely on operational projects and those already under construction, Inner Mongolia’s anticipated annual hydrogen output surpasses the national 2025 target of 100,000–200,000 tons/year. With planned projects included, Inner Mongolia’s potential annual renewable hydrogen production capacity could reach 1.4 million tons, exceeding the aggregated renewable hydrogen production targets announced across all regions. Most projects are located within the industrial zone adjacent to the petrochemical plants in which they would replace gray hydrogen.

SOEs are heavily involved in the development of renewable hydrogen projects (see Appendix). Within Inner Mongolia, 32 of the 50 existing projects are spearheaded by SOEs, and an additional 6 involve collaborative efforts between SOEs and private enterprises. In contrast, private companies are responsible for only 12 projects. This pattern indicates that China’s approach to advancing renewable hydrogen is characterized by state-driven facilitation of the market.

Defining Hydrogen

Questions may be raised about the extent to which the hydrogen produced from these plants will be renewable. The China Hydrogen Alliance, a state-backed think tank, proposed the Standard and Evaluation of Low-Carbon Hydrogen, Clean Hydrogen, and Renewable Hydrogen framework in 2021. However, this framework establishes a relatively unambitious threshold of 14.51 kilograms carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO2e) per kilogram hydrogen (kgH2) for low-carbon hydrogen (a value that is above the current carbon intensity of fossil-based hydrogen produced through steam methane reforming) and 4.9 kgCO e/kgH for renewable hydrogen (while the EU’s threshold is 3.38 kgCO2e/kgH2).58 Moreover, the differentiation between hydrogen produced from renewable sources and other variants remains ambiguously addressed in official Chinese government documents, including the recently published hydrogen industrial guideline.59

Indeed, both the central government and local governments refer to “hydrogen” and “green hydrogen” without providing explicit definitions. Ambiguity around hydrogen production methods is also reflected in the PRC Energy Law (Draft), which does not differentiate between various hydrogen production approaches.60 Consequently, China’s current hydrogen policy lacks mechanisms to regulate the sources or carbon intensity of hydrogen (e.g., by requiring that “renewable hydrogen” be produced exclusively from renewable electricity to power the electrolyzer).

This lack of a precise definition is not so surprising given that many regions and countries are still in the process of considering how to precisely define renewable hydrogen. The EU approved a definition only in June 2023 in a Delegated Act,61 while the US is still considering how to calculate the carbon intensity of hydrogen in the Inflation Reduction Act. However, on the provincial level in China, there does seem to be an attempt to articulate a definition for renewable hydrogen. In 2023, the Inner Mongolia government, as well as several other provincial governments, began to distinguish between grid-connected and off-grid hydrogen production projects. Grid-connected projects are able to use grid electricity, while off-grid electrolyzers use direct power supply from wind and solar plants.62 However, one notice published by the Inner Mongolia Bureau of Energy states that “grid-connected projects, in principle, should not purchase electricity from the grid….the electricity purchased by the power grid company shall not exceed 20 percent of the total renewable power generated by the project.”63 If “grid-connected” projects do not use grid electricity, these new projects would notably satisfy the definition of “temporal correlation” (as used in Europe), which emphasizes that hydrogen producers must ensure that renewable electricity generation and hydrogen production coincide temporally. Despite limited focus on carbon intensity in Chinese discussions of renewable hydrogen production in official government documents, this rule in Inner Mongolia indicates an attempt to produce electrolytic hydrogen solely from renewable energy.

Conclusion

Local policy and industry developments in China are already moving far beyond the national strategy and its conservative targets, making them a better indicator of China’s ambitions, especially related to renewable hydrogen development. Notably, Inner Mongolia’s hydrogen production target is more than twice the national target and seems potentially within reach based on projects under construction.

Unlike strategies employed in the EU and the US, China’s current hydrogen development strategy is still primarily driven by the desire for economic and industrial growth rather than immediate climate mitigation, as evidenced by the limited emphasis it places on measuring hydrogen’s carbon intensity. While several regions have suggested restrictions on fossil-based hydrogen, such as banning coal-based production as part of a gradual, long-term shift toward renewable hydrogen, there is limited broader effort to stop fossil-based hydrogen. However, climate mitigation does exert influence. This is visible at the national level through the National Plan’s elevation of hydrogen as a key component of China’s low-carbon energy transition, and even more so at the regional level, such as Inner Mongolia’s promotion of renewable hydrogen to replace gray hydrogen utilized by various coal-chemical industries.

China’s approach to hydrogen development also sets it apart from other countries, as it emphasizes utilizing industrial by-product hydrogen, particularly in coal-producing regions, in the short term. Moreover, its approach to developing hydrogen applications is pragmatic, with a strong short-term emphasis on the transportation sector (particularly fuel and heavy-duty trucks), building on the success of China’s electric vehicles industry.

Overall, China’s hydrogen development landscape presents a complex mix of challenges and opportunities. As the global community navigates the intricacies of the hydrogen economy, understanding China’s unique approach, characterized by a blend of centralized directives and regional initiatives, is paramount, providing insights into the future trajectory of the world’s largest hydrogen market.

Note: This list of projects may not be comprehensive, as new projects may have been initiated and exiting ones updated after the finalization of this paper. The following points should be noted: (1) Exhaustiveness and updates—details of the listed projects are represented to the best of our knowledge based on available data at the time of writing; (2) Project status accuracy—some projects may have transitioned from the “planned” phase to the “under construction” phase without formal announcements; and (3) Discrepancies in estimated production capacity—in instances where different sources provide varying estimates for hydrogen production capacity for the same project, the smaller, more conservative number was accepted as the default.
