The output of green hydrogen under the green power direct-supply model in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region reached 11,265 metric tons this year – four times the total for 2024 – placing the region among China's leading producers and signaling solid progress in large-scale production.

According to the Inner Mongolia Energy Administration, the region has expanded policy support to accelerate green hydrogen industry growth.

Building on 14 existing measures, five new policies were introduced this year covering the project application, construction, acceptance and operation of wind- and solar-powered hydrogen projects.

Authorities have also worked closely with enterprises to resolve on-site challenges. Projects in Baotou city, Xiliin Gol League and Chifeng city are now in stable operation, while other completed and ongoing projects are ramping up capacity.

As a key national energy and strategic resource base, Inner Mongolia benefits from abundant wind and solar resources, providing a strong foundation for the development of green hydrogen.

The regional energy authority said Inner Mongolia will continue to fast-track project commissioning, improve the hydrogen pipeline and related infrastructure, expand application scenarios, and work toward building a leading green hydrogen industry hub.
