China Green Hydrogen: from Production to Hard-to-Abate End Uses

China is the largest contributor of carbon emissions in the world, accounting for one-third of global emissions. Industry and transport were two of the key emitting sectors, 45% and 9%, respectively, of the country#s total energy sector emissions in 2021. A transition to clean and sustainable energy in China is urgently needed. China#s targets on combating climate change include reaching a carbon peak by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, and setting green hydrogen as one of the critical energy paths to meet decarbonization pledges. The objective of the project is to catalyze green hydrogen production and application in Ningdong, Dalian and Shenyang, China, especially in hard-to-abate sectors, with the aim to decarbonize and support the energy transition. This will be achieved through the mutual efforts of all stakeholders, particularly the government. The Chinese government has promulgated a series of policies to boost green hydrogen energy in the country. Local governments have committed budgetary funding to co-finance the project. United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has been mandated by the government as the project implementing agency to lead the mobilization of resources for the project. The key expected outcomes of the project include climate change mitigation, with the
