Beijing Backs Hydrogen with Billions in Prizes as Industry Hunts Cheaper Green Fuel
Beijing has launched a performance‑based pilot scheme that offers up to Rmb1.6 billion per city cluster to scale hydrogen use, with national aims to cut hydrogen prices to Rmb25/kg on average by 2030 and to grow fuel-cell vehicle numbers to 100,000. Industry sees the policy as welcome but says cutting electricity costs and validating new electrolyser technologies are essential to make green hydrogen competitive.
China Orders City‑Cluster Hydrogen Pilots — Aims to Double Fuel‑Cell Fleet to 100,000 by 2030
Beijing has launched competitive city‑cluster pilots to scale hydrogen across transport and industry, aiming to double fuel‑cell vehicle numbers and reach roughly 100,000 by 2030. The plan couples financial awards with strict performance review to drive down green hydrogen costs and demonstrate replicable commercial applications in heavy transport and industrial decarbonisation.
Foshan’s Hydrogen-Bus Gamble: Subsidies Buy an Industry Cluster — Not Always Service on the Road
Foshan invested heavily in hydrogen fuel‑cell buses to foster a local hydrogen industry, buying roughly 1,000 vehicles and supporting refuelling infrastructure. High fuel costs, falling ridership and limited fiscal space have left many buses parked after they reach subsidy thresholds, exposing the gap between industrial demonstration and operating economics.
