Nation poised to become global leader in hydrogen vehicle industry
It's NOT the US (but it could have been)
China Daily, August 29, 2022
The hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle sector is gathering momentum in China, the world's largest hydrogen producer, as companies are making breakthroughs and local governments are introducing supportive policies.
By 2025, China will have about 50,000 fuel-cell vehicles on its roads, according to a plan jointly released in March by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration.
"The actual figure will be far beyond that", said Xie Chaopeng, vice-president of FTXT, a subsidiary of Great Wall Motors that specializes in hydrogen fuel cell technology.
..."Our products will be superior in some respects in 2023, and our products scheduled to hit the market in 2025 will be at the same level with Hyundai and Toyota," he said. more

Shanghai hydrogen moves into high gear

Shanghai announced on Friday it will establish a regional hydrogen pipeline network and a national trading platform, amid a slew of supportive policies to speed up the industry's development.
The move is part of the country's concerted efforts to reduce carbon footprint and meet emission targets, experts said.
The city had already pledged to build about 70 hydrogen fueling stations and have its size of hydrogen industrial chain surpass 100 billion yuan ($14.6 billion) by 2025.
Further efforts are still needed to increase the use of new energy in place of fossil fuels for the generation of hydrogen power. Experts said hydrogen power generated using new energy can help achieve China's green commitment...more

The 2020's will be known in the Hydrogen universe as the years that China came to dominate the Hydrogen industry, much like the 2000's when China took over the solar industry. And Americans watched BOTH- you'd think they would have learned something besides how to perform enhanced drone strikes on farmers and their families during the last 20 years. Pathetic.
