By 2025 officials in Wuhan, China, aim to create a “hydrogen city” with as many as 100 hydrogen stations for fuel cell-powered vehicles, according to Xinhua News.
The state-run news agency, which cites a Wuhan development plan, says the city wants to create an industrial park with more than 100 fuel cell and hydrogen-related (production, storage and transport) companies in coming years. This includes landing at least three “world-leading” hydrogen enterprises by 2025.
The initial plan calls for building about 20 hydrogen stations over the next three years. Such an infrastructure could support as many as 3,000 fuel cell vehicles, according to the report.
Wuhan, which is the capital of Hubei Province in central China, hosts several vehicle and component assembly plants. Dongfeng Motor Corp. is based in the city.
Last February an Information Trends report predicted the number of hydrogen fuel stations worldwide would jump from 285 in 2016 to 1,300 by 2022 and top 4,800 a decade later. The Hydrogen Council trade group envisions as many as 420 million fuel cell-powered cars, trucks and buses on the road by 2050.
