Since pledging to the “3060” carbon neutrality target, the structure of China’s domestic energy consumption has been drastically altered. In China, efforts are being made to construct an energy system that is clean, low-carbon, secure, and productive, limiting the total amount of fossil energy used while utilizing renewable energy sources as replacements. Hydrogen, considered a renewable and clean energy source, is receiving unprecedented political and industry support. China's government has identified the hydrogen industry as a priority to transition to energy and achieve carbon neutrality.
