A conference aiming to strengthen international cooperation on hydrogen energy was held yesterday in China.

Under the theme of Green Hydrogen, Green Recovery, the 2020 UNDP Hydrogen Industry Conference is jointly hosted under the guidance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

“Countries now have an opportunity to either invest in returning to yesterday’s economy, or to invest into tomorrow’s economy, and that means turning the page on the coal age, the oil age, on all fossil fuels,” said Mourad Wahba, UNDP Associate Administrator in a video address.

“A key element of this transition will be to further develop the hydrogen and fuel cell industries – to help decarbonise our economies and to propel a new green prosperous economy.”

Hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology have great potential to help reach carbon-neutrality faster.
