Recently, the office of the Sichuan Provincial Government released the "Action Plan for Further Promoting the Development and Application of the Hydrogen Energy Industry Chain in Sichuan Province (2024-2027)" (hereinafter referred to as "the Action Plan").
Recently, the office of the Sichuan Provincial Government released the "Action Plan for Further Promoting the Development and Application of the Hydrogen Energy Industry Chain in Sichuan Province (2024-2027)" (hereinafter referred to as "the Action Plan").
The Action Plan emphasizes leveraging Sichuan's advantages in renewable energy and its foundation in high-end hydrogen equipment industry. The goal is to enhance the layout of the hydrogen energy value chain, diversify application scenarios, strengthen technological innovation and talent development, and establish a comprehensive hydrogen energy management system.
By 2027, the plan aims for breakthroughs in high-end hydrogen equipment performance and key core technologies. It also aims to improve the localization level of basic materials and core components. A complete ecosystem covering "production-storage-transportation-refueling-use" will be established, with large-scale applications in key areas. This is expected to significantly reduce overall application costs, enhance industrial strength, and place Sichuan among the top tier in China. Additionally, a new multi-energy complementary system involving water, wind, solar power, hydrogen, and natural gas is anticipated to take shape.
The Action Plan outlines four key tasks: optimizing the entire value chain layout; accelerating market-driven large-scale applications; focusing on original innovation while enhancing technology development and talent training; and establishing a comprehensive management system to improve safety levels. It also specifies four support measures: refining assurance mechanisms; supporting original innovations; expanding promotional applications; and strengthening financial empowerment.
To ensure the effective implementation of this action plan starting from November 6th, 2024 and valid for four years, it emphasizes collaboration among all stakeholders while solidifying safety responsibilities.
