China to boost clean energy deployment
To encourage and accelerate the deployment of hydrogen energy and promote sustainable growth, China plans to build four "hydrogen corridors" in the Yangtze River Delta region based on the expressway network in the area by 2021, with additional hydrogenation infrastructure facilities linking cities in the region.
The four corridors will link Shanghai, Suzhou, Nantong, Rugao, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Huzhou and Zhangjiagang, which have been actively developing their hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicle industries, according to the Hydrogen Corridor Development Plan in the Yangtze River Delta Region released by the China Society of Automotive Engineers (CSAE) on Friday.
More than 40 hydrogen refueling stations will be built in the region between 2019 to 2021 and link major expressways including the Shenyang-Haikou Expressway, the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway and the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway.
