A strong industrial city, Ganzhou in Jiangxi dares to take the lead and stand at the forefront. After several years of innovative development, key industrial chains such as modern home furnishings, non-ferrous metals and new materials, and electronic information in Ganzhou City have been continuously improved, and industrial doubling and upgrading have been vigorously promoted. The city’s major industrial economic indicators rank first in Jiangxi Province. Nowadays, Ganzhou City is actively seizing new opportunities in hydrogen energy and actively laying out new industrial tracks for the future.
On January 9th, the Ganzhou Hydrogen Energy Industry Matchmaking Conference was held at the Ganzhou Municipal Center. Zou Zhiyu, Deputy Mayor of Ganzhou City, said at the meeting, “Today is a starting point for Ganzhou City to launch the new energy industry at the government level. Hydrogen energy is an industry direction that Ganzhou urgently needs to start and establish. We hope Ganzhou can seize the opportunity in the new round of energy adjustment and transformation

Policy superposition promotes the landing of industries
Hydrogen energy, with abundant sources, clean and low-carbon, flexible and efficient, and wide applications, is an important component of the clean energy system and an important carrier for energy terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation. Ganzhou City, as an important city in central China, has abundant natural resources and a good industrial foundation. It has significant advantages in policy support, location transportation, factor guarantee, industrial development, and business environment, providing unique conditions for the development of its hydrogen energy industry.
Ganzhou has multiple policy advantages. At the national level, Ganzhou enjoys multiple national strategic policies such as supporting the revitalization and development of the Central Soviet Area in southern Jiangxi, high-quality development of revolutionary old areas, the rise of the central region, the development of the western region, the Haixi Economic Zone, and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. Especially as the only region along the eastern and southeastern coasts that enjoys the Western Development Policy, Ganzhou’s income tax is levied at 15%. In addition, the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and Government have also tailored relevant policies to support the construction of provincial sub center cities and the integration into the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area as a gateway for Ganzhou.
In January 2023, the Development and Reform Commission and Energy Bureau of Jiangxi Province issued the “Medium – and Long Term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry in Jiangxi Province (2023-2035)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”). The Plan specifies that efforts will be made to build the “Ganpo Hydrogen Economic Corridor” with the axis of “Jiujiang Nanchang Ji’an Ganzhou”. Create a new driving force for green development of ‘Hydrogen Clean Jiangxi’.
In July 2023, the People’s Government of Jiangxi Province issued the “1269 Action Plan for the Modernization of Key Manufacturing Industry Chains in Jiangxi Province (2023-2026)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Action Plan”), which proposes to cultivate emerging industry chains such as hydrogen energy, sodium ion batteries, and other new energy storage. By 2026, the total operating revenue of the entire industry chain is expected to reach 700 billion yuan.
In August 2024, the Development and Reform Commission of Jiangxi Province issued a notice soliciting opinions on the draft measures to promote the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry. The draft for soliciting opinions further points out that Ganzhou has been identified as the “bridgehead for the market-oriented operation of hydrogen energy in the province”, connecting with advanced provinces and regions in the surrounding hydrogen energy development, further strengthening the hydrogen energy trade and hydrogen storage and transportation service market, and exploring the market mechanism of the hydrogen energy industry.
According to You Yong, Chief Economist of the Development and Reform Commission of Ganzhou City, in December last year, Ganzhou City initiated the preparation of the hydrogen energy development plan (2025-2030) and has now completed the first round of soliciting opinions. The overall goal of the hydrogen energy development plan in Ganzhou City is to gradually form a regional cluster of upstream and downstream coordinated hydrogen energy industry system by 2030, creating an industrial agglomeration effect, and building a full industry cluster in the five fields of Ganzhou’s characteristic hydrogen energy production, storage, transportation, addition, and use, enhancing the industrial foundation and modernization of the industrial chain. Promote the diversification of hydrogen energy in the fields of transportation, energy storage, industry, and electricity, and actively include it in the surrounding hydrogen energy industry highland clusters such as the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.
The specific goals include: achieving an annual hydrogen production scale of over 5000 tons in Ganzhou City, with no less than 2000 tons of renewable energy hydrogen production per year, building more than 5 hydrogen refueling stations, promoting more than 500 fuel vehicles, realizing the large-scale application of hydrogen energy in transportation, industrial production, distributed power generation, energy storage and other fields, establishing a preliminary market mechanism for the hydrogen energy industry, with solid-state hydrogen storage as the core, expanding new trade and hydrogen storage and transportation services, and creating a number of hydrogen energy innovation platform demonstration projects with Ganzhou characteristics, with a total output value exceeding 10 billion yuan.
