Breaking the hard-to-abate bottleneck in China's path to carbon neutrality with clean hydrogen

X. Yang, C. P. Nielsen, et al.

This paper investigates how clean hydrogen can play a critical role in reducing emissions in China's hard-to-abate sectors, including heavy industry and heavy-duty transport. The research, conducted by Xi Yang, Chris P. Nielsen, Shaojie Song, and Michael B. McElroy, reveals the potential for massive cost savings in emissions reduction strategies.

Abstract
This paper investigates the potential of clean hydrogen to mitigate emissions in China's hard-to-abate (HTA) sectors—heavy industry and heavy-duty transport. Using integrated dynamic least-cost modeling, the study finds that clean hydrogen can significantly reduce emissions in these sectors, potentially avoiding trillions of dollars in new investment compared to a no-hydrogen scenario. The findings highlight the value of clean hydrogen for China and other countries facing similar decarbonization challenges.
