China targets 100,000 fuel cell vehicles by '30

China aims to have 100,000 fuel cell vehicles nationwide by 2030, double the 2025 level, according to a circular jointly issued by three departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The circular, which focuses on piloting the comprehensive application of hydrogen energy, sets a goal of cutting end-user hydrogen prices to below 25 yuan ($3.62) per kg by 2030, and around 15 yuan in advantageous regions, while fostering hydrogen power as a new driver of economic growth. By the end of 2025, nearly 40,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles had been sold nationwide, and 574 hydrogen refueling stations with a combined daily refueling capacity of more than 360 metric tons had been built, placing China among the world's leading countries in the sector, the ministry added.

Heating aid in railway station areas

Chinese railway operators are intensifying efforts to safeguard heating in railway units located in cold regions. As heating for stations along the Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway, Datong-Xi'an High-speed Railway and other routes is vital, the Datong Housing and Construction Apartment Section in North China's Shanxi province has introduced high-tech facilities to make transport safer and passenger travel more convenient. It has promoted the use of unmanned boiler rooms, empowering technology to solve heating problems in station areas, and renovated temperature sensors in 17 high-speed railway station buildings. Technicians can remotely monitor and control equipment failures through computers and mobile phones.
