Interact Analysis says rising deployments of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) are fueling demand for hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) in China. According to Interact Analysis’ research for published policies in China, as of the end of 2023, 25 provinces and municipalities across China planned to build more than 1,200 HRS by 2025. Interact Analysis’ statistics on HRS construction projects show all provinces and municipalities in China have constructed at least one HRS, except Tibet. By the end of 2023, Interact Analysis says 354 HRS have been built and put into operation in China (excluding mother HRS and dismantled stations), with 50 more under construction, making China the country with the most hydrogen refueling stations in the world.
