By October 2025, China's renewable energy capacity is expected to reach 2.17 billion kilowatts, accounting for 58% of total capacity. The country aims for non-fossil energy to exceed 30% by 2035 and for wind and solar capacity to reach 3.6 billion kilowatts.

Green hydrogen, produced from renewable energy, is identified as crucial for energy transition and decarbonization. By the end of 2024, China's green hydrogen production capacity is projected to surpass 120,000 tons annually, constituting about half of global capacity.

Key sectors for green hydrogen application include industrial decarbonization, transportation, energy storage, and building energy supply. Despite advancements, challenges such as technology readiness and high costs hinder large-scale commercialization. Continued technological and ecosystem development is anticipated to enhance green hydrogen's contribution to a low-carbon energy system.
