The hydrogen energy industry is one of China's national strategic emerging industries and it has become a new pathway for the fresh round of regional industrial competition.

China's Central Hubei province recently rolled out a dozen policies to support the development of the hydrogen energy industry and sponsor all sections of the hydrogen energy industrial supply chain, including the production, storage, shipping, refills and application of hydrogen energy.

Hydrogen energy enterprises are granted a maximum award of 10 million yuan ($1.41 million). Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ) has been recognized by the province as a core area to develop a national hydrogen energy industry demonstration zone.

For this reason, the zone held a meeting on Nov 10, inviting 14 local leading hydrogen energy companies. They said the new policies would boost their confidence to achieve new highs in their own fields.

Currently, there are 41 hydrogen-powered buses, 10 hydrogen fuel cell sanitation vehicles and five hydrogen fuel cell cars for landscape greening work that are operating in the zone.
