Abstract

Hydrogen energy is recognized as an important fundamental element to construct an integrated energy supply system dominated by clean energies. Hydrogen development and utilization have become a significant energy development direction for China. However, the inadequate development of hydrogen infrastructures is one of the main reasons hampering the large-scale application and promotion of hydrogen energy in China. This study deeply analyzed the current situation and trend of China’s hydrogen infrastructures (focusing on hydrogen refueling stations), and discussed about the difficulties and challenges in developing the hydrogen infrastructure industry in China. Referring to the advanced experiences of several developed countries, we proposed an overall development goal and route for China's hydrogen infrastructures, and put forward some reasonable suggestions on system safeguard and related policies. The study results would provide a useful reference for the formulation of China’s guidance policies on hydrogen development.
