Supporting high-quality development of green hydrogen industry

Zhong Baoshen, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Longi Green Energy Technology, made suggestions for the support of the high-quality development of the green hydrogen industry, and the coordinated development of rural photovoltaic and scenic landscapes.

Zhong suggested that the green hydrogen industry has a critical role to play in decarbonizing agriculture, chemical processing, metallurgy, thermal power generation and transportation to achieve the dual carbon goals.

He recommended supporting renewable hydrogen production and providing policy and tax incentives for off-grid hydrogen projects.

Zhong suggested implementing standards for the selection of key materials such as components and inverters for rural photovoltaic (PV) power generation projects, conducting demonstration projects for key initiatives to promote the high-quality development of rural PV.

In addition, he recommended setting planning standards for integrating rural PV into buildings and promoting the installation of PV on new and renovated buildings to a high standard.
