[SMM Hydrogen Energy News: National Energy Administration: China's Renewable Energy Hydrogen Production Accelerating Toward Large-Scale Development] On April 27, the National Energy Administration released Q1 energy data, indicating that China's renewable energy hydrogen production entered a new stage of large-scale development. As of March month-end, nationwide completed and under-construction green hydrogen capacity exceeded 1 million mt/year, of which operational capacity exceeded 250,000 mt/year, doubling YoY, with under-construction capacity exceeding 900,000 mt/year. Northeast and North China were core production regions, with Jilin and Inner Mongolia leading the way. Wind and solar power-hydrogen coupling and integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol models accelerated implementation. Going forward, plans will be developed for the "15th Five-Year Plan" hydrogen energy development, with policy frameworks to be improved to drive high-quality industrial development.

Year-End Spike, New-Year Slump: Hydrogen's 15th Five-Year Journey

China's fuel cell vehicle sales hit a record high in Dec 2025 (3,500+ units), but plunged to under 100 in early 2026. The year-end surge was driven by subsidy deadline deliveries, not real demand. As the 15th Five-Year Plan shifts from purchase subsidies to usage-based incentives, the industry must now focus on cost reduction and commercial viability.
