Along with "promoting the construction of hydrogenation facilities" written into the government work report, release of development of hydrogen energy for the 2021-2035 period and approval of 5 fuel cell vehicle demonstration city clusters, hydrogen energy and fuel cell industries in China are developing rapidly. In 2022, China completed 109 new hydrogen refueling stations, and has built 358 hydrogen refueling stations till the end of 2019, all ranking first in the world. The overall construction of hydrogenation facilities in China is characterized by "more, faster, synergy and innovative”. However, there still are many problems in the high-pressure and large-displacement HRS equipment technologies, hydrogen pricing mechanisms and quality testing etc. It is suggested that the government should promote enterprises to enhance collaborative innovation and break through the bottleneck of core equipment, improve the hydrogen pricing mechanism and regularly test the quality of hydrogen, and promote the high-quality development of hydrogenation facilities.
