As hydrogen takes center stage in the global energy transition, China is rapidly building out its policy and standardization framework to support large-scale industrial deployment. This session examines China’s hydrogen policies, standards systems, technical committees, and key standards in progress—and where they meet or diverge from EU approaches.

Key Takeaways:

• National hydrogen strategy: policy architecture and “15th Five-Year Plan” orientations

• China’s hydrogen standards system: framework, coverage, and development roadmap

• Technical committees in focus: SAC/TC 309, SAC/TC 342, and their work programs

• EU-China comparative analysis: divergent pathways and convergence prospects
