[SMM Hydrogen Energy Policy Update] Sichuan Hydrogen Energy Incentive Policy Fulfillment Announcement: 510 Hydrogen Vehicles and Multiple Project Types Selected

On October 17, 2025, the Department of Economy and Information Technology of Sichuan Province issued a public notice on the implementation of incentive policies for further promoting the development and application of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, marking the substantive implementation stage of local hydrogen energy industry support policies. The core information and annex contents are as follows:

I. Core Composition of the Public Notice Projects (Including Annex Classification Details)

This public notice includes projects that meet the application directions and requirements, which are divided into three major categories, with specific information corresponding to Annexes 1-3. The details are as follows:

(I) Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure Projects (Corresponding to Annex 1, "Summary Table of Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure")

Core Information of the Annex: The table covers specific construction locations of the hydrogen refueling infrastructure projects (such as detailed addresses of cities, prefectures, districts, and counties), construction scale (including key parameters such as hydrogen refueling station grade, daily hydrogen refueling capacity, and hydrogen storage capacity), construction progress (e.g., whether completed, commissioning time), name of the applicant unit, and contact information. It clarifies that these projects provide core energy replenishment support for the operation of local hydrogen energy vehicles and are key infrastructure components of the hydrogen energy industry chain.

(II) Hydrogen Energy Application Scenario Projects (Corresponding to Annex 2, "Summary Table of Hydrogen Energy Application Scenarios")

Core Information of the Annex: The table lists the basic information of three application scenario projects sequentially by project number, including project name (e.g., a hydrogen energy comprehensive utilization project in a certain park, a hydrogen-powered heavy truck demonstration project in a logistics park), application field (covering categories such as transportation, industrial energy supply, and comprehensive energy services in parks), implementing entity (name of the enterprise or consortium), project construction content (e.g., hydrogen energy equipment configuration, application scale, linked industry segments), and expected benefits (e.g., annual carbon reduction, number of jobs created, industrial demonstration value), showcasing Sichuan's exploration directions in the implementation of diversified hydrogen energy scenarios.

(III) Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Demonstration Projects (Corresponding to Annex 3, "Summary Table of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Demonstrations")

Project Scale: 13 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle demonstration car models, totaling 510 hydrogen vehicle units

Core Information of the Annex: The table details specific information for each type of demonstration car model, including vehicle category (e.g., heavy-duty trucks, light logistics vehicles, buses), vehicle producer (e.g., names of domestic mainstream hydrogen fuel cell automakers), vehicle technical parameters (e.g., fuel cell power, driving range, load capacity/passenger capacity), demonstration application unit (e.g., logistics enterprises, bus companies, park operators), number of vehicles (13 car models corresponding to different quantities, totaling 510 units), and demonstration operation routes/areas (e.g., fixed logistics routes, urban bus routes, internal park transportation areas), clarifying the specific implementation scenarios and technical standards of the hydrogen vehicle demonstrations.

II. Policy Implementation and Public Announcement Process

1. Basis for Review

Strictly implemented in accordance with the requirements of the "Interim Measures for the Strict Implementation of Whole-Process Management and Supervision of Special Fund Projects for Industrial Categories" (Chuan Jingxin Caizi [2025] No. 187) and the "Notice on Further Promoting the Fulfillment of Incentive Policies for the Development and Application of the Entire Hydrogen Energy Industry Chain" (Chuan Jingxin Banhan [2025] No. 272), ensuring the entire process is compliant and transparent.

2. Review Stages

Projects must undergo a six-level review process: "Preliminary Review by Municipal (Prefectural) Departments — Expert Evaluation — On-site Verification — Municipal (Prefectural) Public Announcement and Recommendation — Re-review by the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology — Duplication Screening." The final list of projects to be included in the public announcement is determined, ensuring project quality and the authenticity of applications.

3. Public Announcement Information

Announcement Period: October 17, 2025 – October 24, 2025 (a total of 7 calendar days)

Channels for Objection Feedback:

Contact Unit: Sichuan Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology

Business Inquiry Hotline: 028-86265861; Supervisory Hotline of the Office Discipline Inspection Commission: 028-64664281

Mailing Address: No. 66, Renmin East Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu City (Postal Code: 610015)

Feedback Requirements: Feedback submitted in the name of a unit must bear an official seal; feedback submitted in an individual's name must include the real name and contact information, along with the factual basis and supporting evidence for the objection, to facilitate verification.

III. Significance of the Public Announcement

This announcement not only identifies the recipients of Sichuan's hydrogen energy industry incentive policies but also publicly discloses the core parameters of the projects through attached tables, providing clear demonstration samples for the industry. Covering key segments of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, from hydrogen refueling infrastructure to diverse application scenarios, and further to large-scale hydrogen vehicle demonstrations, it will further advance the transition of Sichuan's hydrogen energy industry from "pilot exploration" to "large-scale implementation," offering replicable and scalable practical experience for the development of the hydrogen energy industry in south-west China.
