It is estimated that the overall cost of the hydrogen energy industry chain will drop by 50% by 2030. With policy and financial support, cost-competitive low-carbon solutions can be achieved in 22 hydrogen energy application fields that account for about 15% of global energy consumption by 2030, of which 9 cases are not inferior to fossil energy. In the future energy system, hydrogen energy is expected to play an important role as a clean energy carrier. The report puts forward six measures to promote the development of the hydrogen energy industry, including formulating national strategies, playing the role of government coordination, using laws and regulations to eliminate obstacles, standardizing construction, deploying infrastructure, and adopting incentive measures. Finally, Yu Zhuoping said that the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance is committed to the development of the hydrogen energy industry and its technological and equipment innovation support research, from the three aspects of industry, technical route and guarantee system, as well as the development status and trends of the hydrogen energy industry at home and abroad, and the forecast of hydrogen energy demand , China's hydrogen energy technology innovation status and situation, China's hydrogen energy technology development route and policy recommendations from 5 perspectives, in stages (2025, 2035, 2050) to explore China's hydrogen energy industry and technology equipment development roadmap.

At the meeting, Zhang Shaoming made the "High-quality Development Action Initiative for Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry" on behalf of the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance. The initiative pointed out that when major strategic results have been achieved in the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, and the country has accelerated the resumption of production and business and the market, the hydrogen energy industry should unite and work together to give play to the clean advantages of hydrogen energy and activate the ubiquity of fuel cells. The role of China Unicom is to nurture new opportunities in crises and open new games in changes. Therefore, the alliance proposes: first, resolutely implement the "six stability" and "six guarantees" work requirements; second, increase support for the hydrogen energy industry; third, strengthen the concept of safe development of the hydrogen energy industry; fourth, promote hydrogen energy "New infrastructure" is making steady efforts; fifth, to carry out high-level international hydrogen energy cooperation; sixth, to attach importance to the construction of public service systems; seventh, to promote efficient and collaborative innovation of alliance members; eighth, to build a new ecosystem for industrial development. Yi Baolian, China Iron and Steel Research Institute Technology Group Corporation Wang Feng, and China International Capital Corporation Liu Jun made analysis and discussion based on their research reports. Yi Baolian shared the 2020 international hydrogen energy dynamics, the current status of hydrogen production from renewable energy and future forecasts, the current status of China's renewable energy utilization and related technical analysis, and explained in detail that hydrogen safety is the lifeline of hydrogen energy development and methods to optimize long-distance hydrogen storage and transportation . Feng Wang made a special report on the development of hydrogen metallurgy technology, which started from the background, importance and significance, the current status of hydrogen metallurgy development at home and abroad, key technologies and technological development routes.
