Research and implication of China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell industrial policies
As an important part of China's energy system,hydrogen energy provides an important support for ensuring national energy security,achieving the"dual-carbon"goal and cultivating new economic growth points.The hydrogen energy industrial policies have a direct effect on the the healthy,high quality and sustainable development of this industry.In this paper,the policy systems of hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry at national and local levels are reviewed,the existing problems in China's hydrogen energy industry are analyzed,and the relevant policy suggestions on speeding up the construction and high-quality development of hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry in China are proposed as follows.First,improve the top-level policy design,clarify management functions,standardize the regulatory approval process,and guide cross-regional coordinated development with consideration of local conditions and avoid duplication of construction.Second,clarify the raw material and energy attributes of hydrogen,or implement classified management.Third,establish and improve hydrogen safety management mechanisms at the national level,innovate regulatory means and management methods,carry out sandbox pilot projects,and ensure technological innovation.Fourth,improve hydrogen energy trading and carbon reduction mechanism,and establish a national hydrogen exchange.Fifth,grasp the relationship between the construction of hydrogen energy standards and the development speed of hydrogen energy industry,and improve the construction of standard system,focusing on inapplicability elimination and lag addressing while keeping exploration.Sixth,focus on the application of hydrogen energy in the field of transportation,steadily advance from points to areas,and actively cultivate and expand other hydrogen energy application scenarios.Seventh,build a diversified low-carbon energy system,support the integrated development of natural gas and hydrogen industries,and actively carry out research and demonstration pilots related to hydrogen production from natural gas,hydrogen-blending natural gas transmission and distribution,and hydrogen-blending natural gas utilization.In conclusion,there are still many policy bottlenecks in each link of China's hydrogen energy industry,which restrict the development of hydrogen energy industry to some extent.The research results have important reference value for the formulation of hydrogen energy industrial policies,and will help to promote the high-quality and rapid development of China's hydrogen energy industry.
