China Triples Green Hydrogen Capacity While US Pivots to Gas
China is scaling electrolytic hydrogen capacity from 1.5 GW to 4.5 GW in 2026, leveraging policy support and excess renewables to dominate clean energy supply chains. Meanwhile, Trump's policies are adding 54 GW of gas capacity by 2030 while phasing out renewable tax credits, creating a stark divergence in strategic approaches.
This divergence positions China to lead the next-generation energy economy while the US risks ceding clean technology leadership to focus on traditional fossil fuel exports.
