The Powerful Development of Hydrogen at CIHC 2026

China’s hydrogen industry is growing fast and is worth keeping a close eye on. The progress being made in hydrogen across the country is nothing short of incredible. The decisions made at CIHC are likely to have a positive impact on how hydrogen systems will be designed, protected and regulated for years to come.

CIHC is the China International Hydrogen Congress and Expo, an event held at the China National Convention Center in Beijing. This March, CIHC is the place to be if you want to understand where the hydrogen industry is heading.

This event is bringing together the people designing, building, and safeguarding hydrogen systems at scale. We’ll be there, alongside our Chinese distributor partner at this event, Shanghai Suitech M&E Co., Ltd (上海苏业机电设备有限公司), one of our several valued partners in China.

China Leading the Hydrogen Charge

China produced and consumed over 36 million tonnes of hydrogen in 2024, more than any other country in the world. Renewables now make up more than 60% of China’s total installed power capacity, and in 2025, China generated around 4 trillion kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity, more than the entire EU uses in a year. The BBC has covered this shift in depth, and their conclusion is hard to argue with: China is becoming a green superpower.

CIHC sits right at the centre of this. Now in its fifth year, CIHC 2026 brings together over 600 companies from more than 20 countries across a 50,000 m² exhibition floor. You’ll find 1,000+ products and technologies covering the full hydrogen supply chain, from production to storage, transportation and refuelling, all the way to end use. Alongside the exhibition, CIHC 2026 runs a plenary conference and more than 10 specialist sessions, bringing over 200 speakers and around 3,000 delegates.

The event runs from 25th to 27th March 2026 at the China National Convention Center (Phase I & II), in Beijing. It’s organised by the China Hydrogen Alliance, China Electricity Council, and Beijing Tiger Exhibition Co., Ltd., among others.

This year’s theme is “Towards Innovation and Greenness, Building a Win-Win Future.”

Investment and Innovation at the Core of India’s Hydrogen Efforts

India has a clear plan in sight and is making great progress in pushing towards a green hydrogen future. The National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched in 2023, fuelled with a government allocation of around ₹19,744 crore (£1.7B GBP / $2.17B USD), with the aim to make India a global leader in hydrogen production, use and export by 2030.

The Indian government has set some ambitious targets with a view on producing 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030, powered by over 125GW of renewable energy. It’s also expected to create around 600,000 jobs, reduce fossil fuel imports and cut India’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 50 million tonnes.

As of March 2025, India has awarded contracts for 412,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen production capacity and approved 3,000 MW of annual electrolyser manufacturing capacity. Furthermore, in July 2025, India’s first fully indigenous green hydrogen plant launched at Deendayal port (previously known as Kandla port), with plans to scale from 1 MW to 10 MW (megawatts).

Why is this increase important? Well, 1 MW electrolyser plant produces hydrogen using around one megawatt of renewable power. So, scaling from 1MW to 10 MW means increasing the plant’s electrolyser capacity.

There are clear policies set in place for these developments, such as tailored subsidies, fast-tracked approvals and national standards for hydrogen classifications. Regional governments are rolling out their own strategies too, helping early-stage projects get off the ground.

On the infrastructure side, investments are being made. In Gujarat for example, Adani Energy Solutions won a ₹28 billion transmission project to supply green electricity for green hydrogen and ammonia facilities in Mundra. As a further demonstration of India’s effort, transport pilots using hydrogen-powered ferries, buses and hydrogen-powered trucks are already underway!

India’s hydrogen industry is on the rise, and there is no doubt that India is presenting opportunities for manufacturers, engineers, suppliers and project leads to work together in a global effort to build cleaner and safer systems for the future. This is why the Green Hydrogen Summit 2025 in India is the place to be. To discover what is in development with your own eyes and connect with the teams who have a hand in making green hydrogen projects happen.
