Hong Kong plans to use clean hydrogen in transportation and power applications under a new strategy that aims to bridge the gap between Beijing and the rest of the world. The island administration plans to create a supportive environment for hydrogen energy by improving laws, setting standards and aligning with the global hydrogen market, all while seemingly deepening its reliance on China. A former British colony, Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” agreement; seeing Hong Kong hold a degree of autonomy from China. However, over the years, local and global concerns have grown about Beijing eroding Hong Kong’s autonomy, leading to large-scale protests in 2014 and 2019. In 2020, China imposed a national security law in Hong Kong, which critics said further undermined the island’s autonomy. The new hydrogen strategy claims that one country, two systems will give Hong Kong access to mainland China’s “huge” market, positioning it as “the bridge linking the mainland to the rest of the world.” https://lnkd.in/eNJpXBFw
