Zu Shiji, President of SAIC Group, suggests including hydrogen energy in the national carbon emissions trading market.

Zu Sijie, Vice President and Chief Engineer of SAIC Group, stated today at the 2026 International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Vehicle Conference that the core logic of scaling up hydrogen energy applications is to popularize the existing energy system, construct a new energy pattern that combines long and short terms, and promote the industry to truly move towards market-driven. The first is to improve top-level system design, accelerate the implementation of medium and long-term plans for hydrogen energy industry development, and include hydrogen energy in the national carbon emission trading market and renewable energy absorption responsibility weight assessment system; second is to continue to support more city clusters with a focus on the automotive industry, implement a performance evaluation mechanism of pre-allocation and post-clearing; third is to enhance the hydrogen-electric coupling pathway plan and construct a smart energy new network; fourth is to accelerate infrastructure construction and supplement shortcomings in storage and transportation infrastructure; fifth is to improve the standard system and promote global mutual recognition and interoperability.
