2025-05-25 To comprehensively promote the large-scale and high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry and improve the local hydrogen energy industry supporting system and application ecosystem, the Ziyang Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology publicly released a policy announcement, soliciting public opinions on the revision of the "Several Policy Measures of the Ziyang Municipal People's Government on Supporting the High-Quality Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (Draft for Comments)," and simultaneously released an official policy interpretation, safeguarding hydrogen energy industry development with dedicated support policies.
The new policy under public consultation introduces multiple favorable measures aroundhydrogen refueling station construction and operation,continuously addressing shortcomings in hydrogen energy infrastructure. Ziyang will establish a dedicated fast-track approval channel for hydrogen refueling station projects, significantly shortening project approval timelines and improving implementation efficiency. For integrated hydrogen production and refueling stations located outside chemical industrial parks, the local government will provide a one-time construction reward of up to 2 million yuan. Meanwhile, restrictions on station construction scenarios will be relaxed, allowing the construction of enterprise self-use hydrogen refueling facilities in compliant areas such as industrial parks, logistics parks, open-air parking lots, and bus depots.
For scenarios involving station construction through renovation of existing industrial land, the policy explicitly sets a 2-year exclusive transition period, during which enterprises may use existing industrial land to build integrated hydrogen production and refueling stations and conduct compliant hydrogen refueling services. After the transition period, the relevant construction land may complete the "industrial-to-commercial" land use adjustment in accordance with regulations. Regarding operational subsidies, Ziyang has set clear support standards: for compliant hydrogen refueling stations with hydrogen pricing no higher than 25 yuan/kg and daily average refueling capacity of 500 kg or above, operational subsidies will be granted at a maximum standard of 20 yuan per kilogram, with an annual subsidy cap of5 million yuan per station, effectively reducing station operational pressure.
To improve the entire industry chain layout of hydrogen energy and achieve industry chain strengthening and gap-filling, Ziyang has introduced dual reward policies for industrial investment and technological transformation. The city focuses on encouraging the implementation of projects across the entire hydrogen energy chain covering production, storage, transportation, refueling, and utilization, encompassing key upstream and downstream fields such as core equipment, key parts, and specialty materials. For key hydrogen energy industry projects that are successfully completed and put into production, a one-time investment reward of up to10 million yuan may be granted. Meanwhile, the policy supports local traditional enterprises in transformation and upgrading, guiding enterprises to conduct hydrogen energy-oriented technological transformation benchmarked against industry-leading standards. Projects that complete technological transformation and are officially put into use may enjoy a one-time technological transformation subsidy of up to 1 million yuan per project, facilitating the transformation of traditional industries toward the hydrogen energy track.
In the hydrogen energy scenario innovation application field, Ziyang continues to broaden promotion boundaries and enrich diversified implementation scenarios. The new policy focuses on supporting hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle demonstration projects, providing local funding support at 50% of the national prevailing demonstration application credit subsidy standard for market entities participating in demonstration operations. In addition, local enterprises operating hydrogen-powered rail locomotives, mining trucks, forklifts, two-wheeled hydrogen vehicles, hydrogen-powered aircraft, as well as those developing new-type application scenarios such as backup power supply, combined heat and power, and hydrogen energy storage power generation based on hydrogen energy, may all enjoy local supporting subsidies at 50% of the equivalent national subsidy standard, comprehensively activating the vitality of the hydrogen energy end-use applications market.
Furthermore, the new policy focuses on large-scale hydrogen consumption and industry cost reduction and efficiency improvement, introducing targeted incentive policies. For fossil energy-to-hydrogen substitution technological transformation projects of high energy-consuming and high carbon-emitting industrial enterprises, a one-time reward of up to 1 million yuan may be claimed after meeting standards and being put into use. Meanwhile, a regular hydrogen use subsidy is established, providing subsidies at a standard of 2 yuan/kg based on the enterprise's actual annual hydrogen consumption, with a maximum annual subsidy of 1 million yuan per enterprise. To explore new models of hydrogen energy utilization, Ziyang will also support natural gas pipeline hydrogen blending demonstration projects, with a one-time construction subsidy of up to 1 million yuan for each compliant demonstration project, promoting large-scale, low-cost popularize application of hydrogen energy through multiple measures.
