《中国氢能和绿色燃料试点典型案例（2026）》发布 遴选15个案例The 'China Hydrogen Energy and Green Fuel Pilot Typical Cases (2026)' Released, Selecting 15 Cases

On November 5th, at the 9th Hongqiao International Economic Forum sub-forum on 'High-Quality Development of Hydrogen Energy to Promote Global Energy Transition,' the National Energy Administration officially released the "China Hydrogen Energy and Green Fuel Pilot Typical Cases (2026)." As of now, China's renewable energy-based hydrogen production capacity has exceeded 350,000 tons per year, and green ammonia and methanol production capacity has exceeded 1.3 million tons per year, with production scale being globally leading.

Hydrogen energy and green fuels are abundant in sources, clean and low-carbon, and widely applicable, and are becoming key tools for countries around the world to promote energy transition and address climate change. By the end of 2025, there will be 66 countries and regions that have released hydrogen energy development strategies.

Forum information indicates that China is currently focusing on building the world's largest hydrogen energy industry system. In 2025, the global hydrogen production and consumption scale is about 109 million tons, with renewable energy-based hydrogen cumulative installed and operational capacity of about 500,000 tons per year, of which China accounts for over 50%.

The "China Hydrogen Energy and Green Fuel Pilot Typical Cases (2026)" was organized by the Science and Technology Department of the National Energy Administration and compiled by the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance. It selects 15 representative cases from the first batch of hydrogen energy and green fuel pilots, divided into two main categories: project pilots and regional pilots, covering four major directions: large-scale production, low-cost storage and transportation, integrated applications, and common support.

In the direction of large-scale production, the Jilin Zhongneng Jian Songyuan green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project has built a 200,000-ton-class green ammonia unit; the first phase of the Envision Chifeng carbon-free hydrogen-ammonia project in Inner Mongolia, with a 320,000-ton/year green ammonia plant, has been completed and put into operation, with a comprehensive utilization rate of wind and solar resources exceeding 90%.

In the direction of low-cost storage and transportation, the hydrogen long-distance pipeline from Damaoqi, Inner Mongolia, to Baotou City is approximately 195 kilometers long, with a designed annual hydrogen transport capacity of 100,000 tons; the long-distance, low-cost, high-efficiency gaseous hydrogen transport project in Guangzhou, Guangdong, has developed 30 MPa bundle-type hydrogen transport containers, with a single transport capacity of 650 kilograms of hydrogen.

In the direction of integrated applications, the Xinjiang Sinopec Kuqa Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project had safely and stably operated for more than 1,100 days by September 2026; the first phase of the Ningxia Guoneng Renewable Hydrogen Carbon Reduction Demonstration Zone project can save about 30% of equipment investment costs. In the direction of common support, the Inner Mongolia Hydrogen Energy Equipment Demonstration and Testing Platform project has connected fundamental research, technology development, and industrial application chains.

Bian Guangqi, Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Department of the National Energy Administration, stated that China has the world's largest renewable energy system and a complete manufacturing system, with outstanding advantages in green hydrogen supply, technological equipment manufacturing, and application market cultivation.
