Hydrogen vehicles on their way

Sector's development to accelerate, but detailed national plans and guidelines are yet to be released

Premier Li Keqiang included the development of hydrogen stations for new energy vehicles for the first time in his Government Work Report this year.

Insiders take this as the government's endorsement of the hydrogen energy economy, believing it is high time that hydrogen, a clean source of fuel that does not result in the release of carbon dioxide, is on track to drive China's development while helping the nation's transition to a clean, low-carbon energy mix.
