Low-carbon hydrogen stands at the forefront of global efforts to transition toward cleaner energy systems, providing a versatile and scalable solution to decarbonize key sectors such as transportation, industry, and power generation. In China, hydrogen energy development is accelerating, supported by progressive policy frameworks, technological advancements, and regional collaboration.
On 18th February, the Energy Working Group is glad to invite you to our next working group meeting on Low-Carbon Hydrogen Trends and Opportunities, where we are honoured to invite Ms Li Qinling, Senior Production and Research Manager of the Yangtze River Delta Hydrogen Energy Technology Research Institute to debrief us on the policy landscape and market potential in low-carbon hydrogen and bring together three insightful industry leaders from Air Liquide, Maersk and Envision Energy to share and discuss business practices and technological applications of the three forms of low-carbon hydrogen—hydrogen (H2), green methanol, and ammonia. With this meeting, we hope to provide a comprehensive perspective for building a sustainable low-carbon hydrogen ecosystem.
