Hydrogen energy industry flourishes in Shanxi
China DailySince 2020, under the national "double carbon" strategy, North China's Shanxi province has made use of its resource to vigorously develop clean energy. "Shanxi's focus on the hydrogen energy industry is a strategic decision based on its resource advantages, industrial structure, practical needs, application foundation, and development potential," said an official from the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Shanxi Province. "In the context of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, entering the hydrogen energy sector and accelerating the establishment of a new energy structure are key to Shanxi's high-quality and comprehensive transformation." The 2023 TELC revealed that Shanxi's hydrogen energy industry development index stood at 285.05, ranking second among major hydrogen development regions in China. By 2025, Shanxi aims to establish a comprehensive hydrogen industrial chain, injecting momentum into the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry and the low-carbon transformation of Shanxi's energy sector.
