第九届虹桥国际经济论坛氢能分论坛在沪举办The 9th Hongqiao International Economic Forum Hydrogen Energy Sub-Forum was held in Shanghai

On November 5th, the sub-forum of the 9th Hongqiao International Economic Forum titled 'Promoting High-Quality Hydrogen Energy Development for Global Energy Transition,' hosted by the National Energy Administration and the Ministry of Commerce, was held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. Song Hongkun, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the National Energy Administration; Erwin Ramirez, Minister of Development, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Nicaragua; Feng Laifa, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and General Manager of the National Energy Group; and the head of the China International Import Expo Bureau attended the forum and delivered speeches. Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Omar Yaghi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Huang Weihe, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zheng Nanfeng, among others, delivered keynote speeches.

In his speech, Song Hongkun stated that with the current global pressures on energy security and low-carbon transition overlapping, hydrogen energy is an important component of the future energy system and a key carrier for promoting energy transformation. As of now, China's renewable energy hydrogen production capacity has exceeded 350,000 tons per year, and the production capacity for green ammonia and methanol has exceeded 1.3 million tons per year. The "15th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of a New Energy System" proposes that by 2030, the scale of renewable energy hydrogen production will reach 2 million tons. The next five years will be a crucial period for the hydrogen energy industry to transition from pilot demonstrations to large-scale, market-oriented development.

This forum attracted representatives from governments, energy companies, research institutions, and industry associations from multiple countries and regions. The participants conducted in-depth exchanges on topics including the full-chain coordination of hydrogen energy, hydrogen storage and transportation, key technology innovations, global standards coordination, large-scale development of low-carbon hydrogen, practical green hydrogen industry applications, and international cooperation in the hydrogen energy industry.

The forum released achievements such as the "Typical Cases of Hydrogen Energy and Green Fuel Pilots in China (2026)" and the "China Hydrogen Energy Development Report (2026) (English version)", providing references for the promotion of pilot experiences and international cooperation.

The forum was attended by relevant officials from the National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Commerce, energy authorities of Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Henan, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), local governments of hydrogen energy pilot areas such as Baotou, Baicheng, and Suzhou, as well as central energy enterprises including the China Energy Group, State Pipe Network, State Grid, China Huadian Corporation, and Dongfang Electric.
