国家能源局：攻关风光灵活高效制氢、规模安全储氢关键技术NEA: Tackle Key Technologies for Flexible, Efficient Wind-Solar Hydrogen Production and Large-Scale, Safe Hydrogen Storage

Green Fuel International Business Network has learned that on July 10, the National Energy Administration issued the Energy Sector Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Action Plan (2026-2028), which explicitly calls for carrying out R&D on frontier low-carbon, zero-carbon and negative-carbon technologies.

The plan focuses on key fields such as clean and efficient use of fossil energy and large-scale utilization of renewable energy, and intensifies forward-looking, strategic research on major frontier technologies. Specifically, it includes: accelerating breakthroughs in supercritical carbon dioxide power generation, CCUS and other key technologies; tackling key technologies for flexible and efficient hydrogen production from wind and solar power and for large-scale, safe hydrogen storage; and achieving breakthroughs in core technologies such as green hydrogen synthesis catalysis, low-carbon synthesis processes and long-distance storage and transportation.

Wind-and-solar flexible and efficient hydrogen production technology is designed to address the flexible matching between renewable power generation and hydrogen production, enabling efficient use of renewable energy. Large-scale safe hydrogen storage technology focuses on the engineering challenges of large-scale safe hydrogen storage, providing a safety guarantee for the scaled development of the green hydrogen industry chain. Breakthroughs in green hydrogen synthesis catalysis and low-carbon synthesis processes will further broaden the application space for green hydrogen in industry.

In addition, the plan proposes strengthening R&D on energy-saving energy equipment, reinforcing digital and intelligent empowerment, supporting enterprises in building digital carbon management platforms, and promoting precise measurement, real-time collection and intelligent analysis of energy consumption, so as to achieve online monitoring, accounting and flexible regulation of energy consumption and carbon emissions.
