Industrial policies of hydrogen energy in Sichuan-Chongqing area
Without carbon emission,the renewable hydrogen energy becomes a major carrier and an essential element to promote both transformation and upgrading of traditional petroleum industry and make the"dual carbon"goal come true.As a main part of new energies,its healthy and sustainable development cannot be achieved without any policy guidance and support.So,from the perspective on the whole industrial chain of hydrogen energy including production,storage,trans-portation,processing and utilization,the hydrogen-energy development in Sichuan-Chongqing area was surveyed.And in-dustrial policies in this area from 2019 to 2023 were fully investigated so as to provide decision-making references for the government and guide the healthy development.Results show that(ⅰ)recently,some supporting policies on hydrogen energy have been issued intensively in this area,which roughly cover all key nodes of the whole industrial chain;(ⅱ)in terms of development routes,hydrogen preparation is the focus in Sichuan whereas its application side in Chongqing;(ⅲ)consump-tion policies in both areas emphasize on the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles;(ⅳ)hydrogen energy subsidies in these two areas include the subsidies for industrial development,the awards of scientific and technological innovation platform,but various subsidy fields,specific requirements and subsidy standards in different cities;(ⅴ)regulations are relatively con-servative and involve hydrogen in the list of hazardous chemicals;and(ⅵ)only two cities in Sichuan-Chongqing area,such as Chengdu and Panzhihua,release rules about establishment and management of hydrogen-refueling stations.
