China harnesses hydrogen tech to power green shift

Xinhua | huaxia | 2025-03-29

China's first unmanned hydrogen-electric hybrid mining truck -- powered by hydrogen energy and electric batteries, and capable of cutting over 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually -- stole the spotlight at the recent China International Hydrogen Congress (CIHC) 2025.

Deployed at the Shengli coal mine in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, where winter temperatures could plunge to minus 40 degrees Celcius, this high-tech hauler doesn't flinch, proving that the green tech can thrive in harsh conditions, according to project lead Geng Hao. "Even in extreme cold, its hydrogen system stays rock-solid."

Other frontier hydrogen energy technologies, including hydrogen-powered shunting locomotives and smart hydrogen refueling robots, are also on display at the exhibition, exemplifying China's achievements in expanding hydrogen applications and building a green hydrogen ecosystem...

....In recent years, China has made significant strides in advancing policies for hydrogen development. In March 2022, Chinese authorities released a plan on the development of hydrogen energy for the 2021-2035 period, outlining the establishment of a hydrogen supply system and application promotion goals...more
