On October 14, the National Energy Administration (NEA) officially launched the first batch of hydrogen pilot programs, designed to advance the integration of hydrogen into China’s energy sector.
Following a rigorous expert review process, the NEA gave approval to 41 demonstration projects across the country. These include large-scale initiatives such as the wind-solar-hydrogen integrated production and green ammonia synthesis project by Shenneng in Etuoke Banner, Inner Mongolia, as well as a series of hydrogen coupling application projects in nine regions—including Changchun, Songyuan, and Baicheng in Jilin Province.
These pilot programs represent a significant milestone in China’s strategy to develop a comprehensive hydrogen energy ecosystem covering the entire chain of production, storage, transportation, and utilization.
