China could meet 25pc of global hydrogen demand
The country is ramping up output and could produce 100-150mn t/yr by 2060, says working group of Ministry of Science and Technology
China will have installed enough renewable energy generation capacity by 2060 to produce 100-150mn t/yr of green hydrogen, according to forecasts given at the recent China-Africa Hydrogen Forum. China’s installed capacity of solar projects and wind farms is expected to total 4,810GW by 2060, according to Shi Yixiang, a member of the hydrogen energy technology expert group for the National Key R&D Plan under the Ministry of Science and Technology. The installed capacity will be enough to generate 7,900TWh/yr, and the surplus from this will be sufficient to produce 100-150mn t/yr of green hydrogen, says Shi, also a professor at the energy and power engineering department of Tsinghua Univer
