Tangshan, a city that produced 13% of China\u2019s steel and 6% of the world\u2019s output in 2021, announced<\/a> on 29 June that it intends to turn itself into a hydrogen production hub for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its \u201cTangshan Hydrogen Industry Development Plan\u201d, released that day, the city government set a target of building a 5 billion RMB (US$746 million; by revenue) industry for hydrogen technology development and downstream applications by 2023. To achieve that goal, it intends to attract three to five leading enterprises in the hydrogen industry to invest in Tangshan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located to the east of Beijing in Hebei province, Tangshan plans to capitalise on a rising demand for hydrogen, propelled by the development of fuel cell vehicles in the region. A pilot programme<\/a> approved by the central government last year plans to put at least 5,300 fuel cell cars on the streets of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Tangshan pledges to have 700 running on its own roads by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, the city envisions its massive steel industry as the primary source of hydrogen, with \u201cgreen hydrogen\u201d made using renewable energy complementing this. All coking facilities in Tangshan are expected to be equipped with capabilities to turn coke oven gas, a by-product of the coking process, into hydrogen. In addition, newly installed solar power plants in the city with a capacity over 100 MW are required to be built with equipment for producing hydrogen too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tangshan will also support local steelmakers to build steel production projects that use direct reduced iron (DRI) with hydrogen \u2013 seen as an important approach in the industry\u2019s attempts to decarbonise<\/a> \u2013 and help transform the steel capital into a \u201ccentre of green metallurgy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
