The hydrogen energy industry is crucial to the high-quality development of the industrial sector.Green hydrogen is an indispensable component of future energy systems and a powerful tool for decarbonizing industry and transportation.Since 2022,China's hydrogen energy industry has entered a stage of rapid development,which is mainly characterized by four characteristics:first,the accelerated growth of hydrogen production with coal as the dominant source;second,the intensive introduction of policies related to hydrogen energy development by national and local governments;third,the planning and construction of green hydrogen projects has initially shown a diversified pattern;fourth,the Three North area is expected to become China's green hydrogen production base.However,China's hydrogen energy industry still has some problems that are inconsistent with high-quality development requirements.That is,the fossil-fuel based hydrogen production has increased significantly,which has increased the pressure on the national carbon emissions;the electrolysis hydrogen production technology still lags behind the international advanced level;there are still shortcomings in some equipment in the hydrogen energy production,storage,transportation and utilization;and local hydrogen energy policies and financing are too biased towards hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.In order to promote the healthy development of the hydrogen energy industry and fully release its contribution to the high-quality development of the industrial sector,governments at all levels need to determine the boundaries of the role of green hydrogen rationally based on the logic of energy transformation,and reasonably control the priorities and promotion pace of various green hydrogen applications,and further improve green hydrogen-oriented financing and regulatory policies.
