On March 16, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the “Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work for Comprehensive Hydrogen Energy Application.”
The document establishes pilot programs for hydrogen energy applications across multiple sectors, including transportation and industry.
For the first time, the policy framework includes hydrogen-powered aircraft alongside rail locomotives, ships, and other equipment within its “innovative application scenarios” category.
The addition creates a clear policy-level connection between hydrogen energy development and the low-altitude economy sector.
