Under the trend of global energy development towards clean, low-carbon and intelligent development, the development of hydrogen energy has become an important direction of the current world energy technology transformation in the world, and it is of great significance for China to realize the energy transformation in the new era. Based on this, a systematic study was performed on the prospect and development strategy of hydrogen energy utilization in China. Firstly, combining the characteristics of China′s hydrogen energy industry chain, the development status of China′s hydrogen energy was described from the aspects of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage and hydrogen use. In terms of hydrogen production, China has an annual hydrogen production capacity of about 41 million tons and an output of about 33.42 million tons, making it the world′s largest hydrogen producer. In terms of hydrogen storage and transportation, due to the small application scale and low level of technical equipment, the construction of hydrogen energy transportation capacity in China lags behind that in foreign countries. In terms of the construction of hydrogenation stations, China has built and operated 127 hydrogenation stations, and the design, construction and three key equipments of hydrogenation stations have been localized. In terms of hydrogen industry, China has got a certain degree of commercial application in the field of transportation, power generation and other information fields, especially the hydrogen fuel cell industry has developed rapidly. Secondly, the paper deeply analyzed the main problems existing in China′s hydrogen energy utilization. At present, the development of China′s hydrogen energy industry cluster has achieved initial results, but compared with the international hydrogen energy development, China′s hydrogen energy development and utilization is facing severe challenges. Especially in terms of fuel cell technology development, hydrogen energy industry equipment manufacturing, etc., there is a lack of long-term national hydrogen energy development strategy and comprehensive planning. It urgently needs to be analyzed from the perspective of development strategy and planning comprehensive research and layout in basic research, application research, product development, specifications and standards, performance testing, technical demonstration, business innovation, etc. Finally, the prospect and application scenarios of hydrogen energy utilization in China were systematically analyzed, and strategic measures and suggestions to promote hydrogen energy utilization were put forward. In terms of strategic measures, firstly, it is necessary to conform to the national strategy, adhere to the planning guidance, and make a strategic plan for the development of hydrogen energy industry. Secondly, it should highlight the platform effect, coordinate innovation and development, and give full play to the role of various core hydrogen energy industrialization platforms. Thirdly, it is necessary to strengthen scientific and technological innovation, deepen industry university research cooperation, strengthen collaborative innovation, and give full play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in overall innovation. Fourth, it is necessary to improve the talent mechanism, create core advantages, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of scientific and technological personnel. In terms of policy recommendations, it is necessary to further strengthen the important position of hydrogen energy in the national energy system, strengthen the independent research and development of core technologies and the construction of technical standard system, select the development route of hydrogen energy industry according to local conditions, and properly guide the optimal layout of state-owned capital in the hydrogen energy industry to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of China′s hydrogen energy industry.
