The company said the introduction of hydrogen to such industry will place China in a leading position to pioneer new solutions to create momentum for change and to benefit from it. It will also give the nation an opportunity to become an exporter of low-carbon industrial products and technology, as well as low-carbon industrial expertise, the report added.
China is the world's largest user of pure hydrogen, consuming some 14.6 million metric tons annually, or 20 percent of global demand. According to S&P Global Platts, more than 95 percent of the hydrogen consumed is used for oil refining and ammonia synthesis.
Ivy Yin, energy transition analyst at S&P Global Platts, said that compared with overseas suppliers, China's hydrogen electrolyzers are already much cheaper for proton exchange membrane and alkaline technologies. Proton exchange membrane, or PEM, fuel cells are considered the most versatile type of such cells currently in production. They produce the most power for a given weight or volume of fuel cell.
Yin said, "China is expected to become a key global hydrogen equipment supplier by bringing down manufacturing costs, similar to the way in which it has led global solar panel production."
While penetrating new markets with low-carbon energy still requires huge investment in infrastructure - including hydrogen transportation, storage and delivery - as well as renewable electricity generation, these challenges are not unique to China, she said.
Along with renewables and nuclear energy, there is a need for carbon neutral hydrogen to continue increasing its share of China's energy mix to displace coal and gas, Yin added.
Cheaper option
According to strategic research provider BloombergNEF, China's aim for carbon emissions to peak by 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 will result in major emitters, including the power, transportation and other industries taking serious measures. This action will enable hydrogen to play a valuable role in "decarbonizing" long-haul trucks carrying heavy loads.
Mi Siyi, an analyst at BloombergNEF, said estimates show that these trucks could be cheaper to run by using hydrogen fuel cells, rather than diesel engines, by 2031.
The China Hydrogen Alliance, a government-supported industry group, predicts that the gas will make up at least 5 percent of the nation's energy mix by 2030, while the domestic hydrogen industry is expected to attract more than 300 billion yuan (USD47.4 billion) this year.
Royal Dutch Shell is equally positive about the future for the clean fuel, believing that hydrogen use by 2060 will rise considerably from negligible levels today, mainly due to its application in industry and long-distance transportation.
The exponential increase in hydrogen demand will create opportunities for provinces with cheap renewable energy resources, the company said.
According to Yin, carbon neutral hydrogen uses excess renewable power supplies to produce green hydrogen when supply exceeds demand.
"Hydrogen can also be stored and easily transported across long distances, which is difficult for renewable energy due to the significant challenges associated with cross-regional power transmission," Yin said.
Chinese companies - public and private - are starting to draw up hydrogen development plans.
China Petroleum and Chemical Corp began constructing the world's largest green hydrogen project in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in November.
The plant is expected to produce 20,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually after it starts operating next year, and is part of the company's USD4.6 billion investment plan in the hydrogen sector through 2025. Sinopec also aims to boost its annual hydrogen production capacity to 500,000 tons by 2025.
Alan Hayes, an analyst at S&P Global Platts, said the Xinjiang project is an important test case that includes development of renewable power generation, new hydrogen production and new hydrogen storage. It can also replace high-carbon-based hydrogen with a low-carbon option for consumers.
"Not many other projects include the full hydrogen production and consumption chain, including development of renewable power generation, new hydrogen production and new hydrogen storage," he said.
The company has also vowed to build the world's largest hydrogen refueling network, with 1,000 stations by 2025, compared with just 100 nationwide by the end of last year. China currently boasts 200 hydrogen refueling stations and aims to have 300 by the end of this year.
In November, national energy giant State Power Investment Corp launched a demonstration project in Tibet autonomous region, focused on using hydrogen in preference to renewable-based power. Meanwhile, Baosteel, the country's largest steel producer, has also pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, focusing on hydrogen-based steel production.
Plans drawn up
Cities nationwide are also preparing plans to tap the hydrogen sector, with more than 30 provinces and regions including this industry in their 14th Five-Year Plan, aiming to further take advantage of the cleaner fuel.
By 2025, the municipal authorities in Beijing aim to have 10,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on the roads and 37 refueling stations for the gas, part of an ambitious plan to develop the hydrogen energy industry.
Shanghai is also planning to lead development of this industry by introducing 10,000 cars powered by hydrogen and more than 30 refueling stations by next year.
Shanxi province, a traditional area for coal mining, has pledged to become a national hub for the hydrogen industry, adopting development of the gas as part of its "energy revolution".
Yin, from BloombergNEF, said northern and northwestern provinces rich in renewables will benefit from the burgeoning hydrogen sector, as they have considerable wind and solar energy resources.
Multinationals are also planning to further tap the potential of hydrogen in China, confident in the nation's huge market potential. Companies such as Siemens, Thyssen-Krupp, Toyota, Ballard and Hyundai are drawing up hydrogen business plans in the country, eyeing the potential for the sector's development.
Hydrogen, currently produced mainly from natural gas, generates significant carbon emissions, known as "gray" hydrogen. "Blue" hydrogen has its carbon emissions captured and stored, or reused, while "green "hydrogen is generated by renewable energy sources without producing carbon emissions.
The nation's green hydrogen production capacity, based on renewable energy, is expected to reach 50,000 tons annually this year and is forecast to grow in years to come, according to the China Hydrogen Alliance.
It said the cost of harnessing solar and wind energy has continued to fall over the past 10 years, further boosting hydrogen's commercial viability.
According to Royal Dutch Shell, by 2060, up to 85 percent of the hydrogen used in heavy industry, agricultural machinery, heavy-duty road transportation, short-haul aviation, and shipping will be green hydrogen produced through electrolysis powered by renewable and nuclear energy.
However, Yin said China may take time to develop its role as an importer of green hydrogen and could lag behind markets such as Japan.
Royal Dutch Shell said infrastructure related to hydrogen will witness large increases in investment, particularly from the 2030s onward, as technologies and markets mature and are used to reduce emissions in sectors where it is hard to introduce electrification.
Annual investment to support the energy transition to net zero is estimated, on average, to be 1 percent higher than in recent years. However, in terms of energy supply, a significant reallocation of investment from fossil fuels to low-carbon electricity and low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen is required, the company said.
Directing some of this spending toward hydrogen - for example building hydrogen transportation and storage infrastructure - can stimulate demand in the short term and support climate-sustainable growth in the long term, it added.

Hydrogène De France : Hydrogène de France accelerates the development of Renewstable(R) plants with a major milestone achieved in Barbados
https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/...le-R-plants-w-39484267/
02/16/2022 | 02:05am EST
The largest hydrogen power and storage project in the Caribbean, Renewstable® Barbados ("RSB") is the second hydrogen power project developed by Hydrogène de France to welcome a majority investor.
Hybrid power plant project producing clean, stable and competitive electricity, 24 hours a day, without polluting emissions;
Producing baseload power for 16,000 Barbadians from solar and locally produced green hydrogen;
Majority equity contribution provided by Rubis as a shareholder alongside HDF.
Bordeaux, February 16th, 2022 – Hydrogène de France (“HDF Energy” or the “Company”) – Euronext Paris : HDF –announces that Renewstable® Barbados (“RSB”), the largest hydrogen power project in the Caribbean, has taken a new major step in its development with Rubis acquiring a 51% stake in its capital. This transaction follows the strategic agreement signed between the two energy companies in June 2021. HDF Energy is also in active discussions with the Barbados Sustainable Energy Co-operative Society to offer 30% of the project prior to construction.
The largest clean hybrid power plant in the Caribbean, committed to local development
Developed by HDF Energy, RSB is a large grid-friendly energy power plant project that will supply clean, resilient, stable and competitive baseload electricity 24/7 to 16,000 residents. Located in St Philip, RSB will aid the island state in achieving its 100% renewable energy mandate by 2030 without the intermittency concerns that typically limit the deployment of solar and wind power on island grids. Using only the sun as a primary source of electricity (50MW solar), RSB combines 128MWh of green hydrogen and battery storage to deliver a continuous output of power, day and night.
Totally carbon-free, RSB has been designed to effectively replace certain aging, costly and polluting assets that currently burn Heavy Fuel Oil or Jet Fuel, with a similar level of reliability. Not impacted by any commodity market, RSB also eliminates the exposure to fuel price volatility throughout its 25-year operating life.
RSB is committed to promoting the dual use of solar energy and agriculture on the site. A large-scale sheep farming facility (1830 head) will be accommodated within the solar power plant to maintain dual use of the land and generate local jobs.
During its 2-year construction period RSB will create around 200 directs et indirect jobs, and support around 25 permanent local jobs during its operation. Both HDF Energy and Rubis have their regional head offices in Barbados and currently employ over 1,500 professionals across the entire region.
RSB, the 2nd project developed by HDF Energy to welcome investors, paves the way for the duplication of Renewstable® power plants at a global scale
The USD100+ million RSB project is a duplication of CEOG (en.ceog.fr), the first Renewstable® project in construction developed by HDF Energy located in French Guiana. It is being built by Siemens Energy and financed through a state-of-the-art project finance scheme. Rubis is also an equity investor of CEOG through SARA (the refinery of Martinique), alongside HDF Energy and the infrastructure fund Meridiam. Lenders include world leading private and institutional banks.
With already 18 similar projects underway and a presence in key geographies, HDF intends to significantly increase the number of its Renewstable® projects and become a global leader in hydrogen power.
Damien Havard, CEO of HDF Energy said: “We are extremely delighted to have Rubis joining RSB, the second Renewstable® project after CEOG. Many similar projects are currently being developed by HDF Energy across the globe, using the same proven bankable business model and focusing on a valuable baseload power service for local grids. With this second project in the development phase, we reinforce HDF Energy's unique expertise in hydrogen power and large infrastructure project development and anchor our global leadership in the field of large hydrogen power projects. With its strong commitment to decarbonization and local development expertise, Rubis is a robust partner in the development and financing of our projects.“
Clarisse Gobin-Swiecznik, Managing Director of Rubis: “This second investment in a green hydrogen power plant reinforces our growing collaboration with HDF Energy. We strongly believe in the Renewstable® technology already implemented with CEOG as a viable solution to provide energy at an affordable cost to populations with challenging energy supply logistics. This new project illustrates our will to develop new carbon-free sources of energy, especially in countries where Rubis is operating.”
