Under the background of energy transition, the development prospect of hydrogen energy industry is very broad. The Shanghai Development and Reform Commission recently issued the "Several Policies for Supporting the High-Quality Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry in the Lingang New Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone", which proposes to explore the construction of a hydrogen trading platform and plan to build a leading hydrogen energy port.

In order to help achieve the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" and accelerate the cultivation and growth of strategic emerging industries, Shanghai issued the "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Industry (2022-2035)" in June 2022. By 2025, the industrial scale of Shanghai's hydrogen energy industry chain will exceed 100 billion yuan. Relying on the "International Hydrogen Energy Valley" of Lingang New Area, build a high-quality development practice area of Lingang hydrogen energy. Several policies issued this time are formulated to further promote the development of Shanghai's hydrogen energy industry and support the Lingang New Area to accelerate the development of a highland for the development of the hydrogen energy industry.

Several policies have been proposed to explore the construction of a hydrogen trading platform. Shanghai will support leading domestic hydrogen energy enterprises and professional carbon trading platform institutions to jointly establish a unified and efficient hydrogen energy trading platform in the Lingang New Area. Research and improve relevant policies, measures, standards and methodologies, explore hydrogen trading and green hydrogen trading, price index, traceability certification, participation of hydrogen energy storage in the electricity market and market-based trading mechanism for hydrogen energy and carbon emission reduction, and promote the emission reduction generated by clean hydrogen Include voluntary carbon emission reduction market transactions, and gradually explore the construction of a national hydrogen exchange.

It is understood that Shanghai will also plan to build a leading hydrogen energy port, support Yangshan Port, Donghai Bridge and other regions to carry out hydrogen energy demonstration applications, and increase the use of hydrogen energy in fixed loading and unloading machinery equipment, mobile loading and unloading equipment and horizontal transportation vehicles in the port. and other scenarios, to promote the planning and construction of hydrogen refueling stations in the port area, and build a leading green and smart hydrogen energy comprehensive demonstration port.
