What are the prospects for hydrogen fuel cells in China?

First, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry related policies in China

In October 2016, China standardization institute resources and environment branch and China electrical equipment industry association released “The hydrogen infrastructure development in China blue book (2016)” first proposed the roadmap for the development of the hydrogen industry in China. The medium and long-term hydrogenation stations and fuel cell vehicles in China are planned. It mainly includes: by 2020, the number of refueling stations will reach 100; fuel cell vehicles up to 10,000; hydrogen energy rail transit vehicles up to 50; by 2030, there will be 1,000 refueling stations and 2 million fuel-cell vehicles. By 2050, the network of refueling stations will have been completed, and the number of fuel-cell vehicles will reach 10 million. The "Made in China 2025" clearly puts forward the development plan of fuel cell vehicles, which elevates the development of hydrogen fuel cells to a strategic height. In addition, cities such as Shanghai and Wuhan have also issued policies related to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and Shenzhen and Beijing are also formulating relevant policies.

Second, market size of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China

According to statistics from OFWEEK industrial research institute, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle pilot operation projects have been carried out in China in 2017, almost all of which are focused on commercial vehicles. In 2017, the national production of fuel cell commercial vehicles was 1,226, of which logistics vehicles accounted for 94%. Since January 2017, China has produced a total of 150 hydrogen fuel buses, among which Beiqi Foton automobile co., ltd. and Shanghai automotive commercial vehicles co., ltd. are the top two producers, occupying 84% of the market share.

Third, a hydrogen fuel cell car maker in China development stage

With foreign fuel cell companies such as Toyota, modern production enterprise development route, hydrogen fuel cell car enterprises in China are mainly distributed in the field of commercial vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle has to realize mass production. Hydrogen fuel cell passenger car is still in the demonstration operation phase, including Shanghai automotive industry corporation for investment in fuel cell passenger car, the largest cumulative reach 81 demonstration run.

Fourth, development forecast of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China

In terms of fuel cell commercial vehicles, some Chinese automobile enterprises have entered the mass production stage. Under the continuous promotion of relevant national policies and industries, China's fuel cell commercial vehicles will enter the regional maturity stage from 2020 to 2025 and explosive growth stage from 2025 to 2030. In the aspect of fuel cell passenger vehicle, it is expected to enter the stage of mass production from 2020 to 2025. It is estimated that China's production of fuel cell commercial vehicles will reach 30,000 in 2025 and enter the stage of large-scale development after 2025.
