China's capital envisages 10,000 fuel cell vehicles by 2025
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The city of Beijing aims to have over 10,000 fuel cell vehicles on the road and build 74 hydrogen filling stations by 2025, as the Chinese capital maps out an ambitious plan to develop the low-carbon fuel, state media reported on Thursday.
China is the world's largest green house gas emitter but is aiming for carbon-neutrality by 2060. It is leading the global expansion in renewable energy like solar and wind power, and has in the last few years begun early planning for venturing into hydrogen.
Many provinces and cities are scrambling to map out hydrogen plans and are calling for state subsidies to help spur the sector.
