Hydrogen and Electricity Cooperation: Complementary Advantages! The recruitment for the 2025 Wind Energy and Hydrogen Power Exhibition is currently in full swing!
To foster a deep integration of the hydrogen energy and wind power industries, the Zhongguancun Hydrogen Energy Industry Alliance is collaborating with the Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition to launch the second edition of the Wind Energy Hydrogen Power Exhibition—the 2025 Hydrogen Equipment and Fuel Cell Industry Exhibition. This event is scheduled to take place from October 20 to 22, 2025, at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) in Beijing. During this time, a forum on hydrogen-electricity cooperative technologies will also be organized, inviting enterprises from the hydrogen and wind energy sectors to discuss collaborative development strategies.
Currently, one of the main challenges facing the hydrogen energy industry is cost control, particularly the production cost of green hydrogen. High costs can be attributed to several factors, including the elevated cost of renewable energy per kilowatt-hour, the expensive electrolyzers, and the poor compatibility between electrolyzers and renewable energy sources. Rapidly reducing the cost of green hydrogen has become essential for the industry’s path toward commercialization.
As the largest renewable energy source in China, wind power has established a comprehensive global supply chain. It also boasts the lowest per kilowatt-hour cost among all renewable energy types. The deep integration and cooperative development of wind power and hydrogen energy are expected to be crucial in overcoming the commercialization challenges of the green hydrogen industry, achieving a synergy effect where 1+1 > 2.
China is a global leader in wind power, with an addition of 79.82 GW of new wind power capacity in 2024, accounting for over 70% of the world’s total new installations of 113 GW. By the end of 2024, global cumulative wind power capacity is expected to exceed 1200 GW, with China contributing over 43%. Since 2009, China has led the world in new wind power installations for 16 consecutive years, and has maintained the top position in cumulative installations for 15 years from 2010 to 2024. In 2023, wind power generation in China reached 885.8 billion kilowatt-hours, making it the third-largest source of electricity in the country, representing 9.5% of the total electricity generation, following thermal and hydropower.
China is also the largest production base for wind power equipment globally. The country has developed a mature wind power industry chain and is the largest producer of most wind power components and materials. As of 2023, domestic brand wind turbine units exported from China totaled 15.59 million kilowatts, reaching over 50 countries, with key components such as generators, hubs, frames, blades, gearboxes, and bearings accounting for 60% to 70% of the global market production.
Driven by large-scale global applications, the cost of wind power has significantly decreased. In 2022, the cost per kilowatt-hour for onshore wind power fell by nearly ten times compared to 1.5 yuan in 2010. Onshore wind energy is now the most competitive in terms of cost among all clean energy sources.
