On 23 March 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued the Medium- and Long-term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035), which clearly states that: Hydrogen energy is an important part of the future national energy system, hydrogen energy is an important carrier for the use of energy terminals to achieve a green and low-carbon transformation, and the hydrogen energy industry is a strategic emerging industry and a key direction of development for the future industry.

SINOPEC is currently the most active energy central enterprise in the layout of key technology research and development, promotion and application of hydrogen energy. Ma Yongsheng said that SINOPEC strives to build China's first hydrogen energy company by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 10 million tonnes per year. The company will continue to increase investment in green hydrogen energy business, and is laying out a number of green hydrogen refining demonstration projects.

In order to promote the high-quality development of hydrogen energy industry and build a bridge of communication and cooperation between enterprises, design institutes and users of hydrogen production, storage, transportation and refueling in the petrochemical industry, the Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Committee of China Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Research Association is scheduled to convene the "Bell Cup - Hydrogen Production, Storage and Refueling Technology Exchange in the Petrochemical Industry" on 12-14 July 2023 in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, China.
