Achieving carbon emission peaking and carbon neutrality is a major strategic decision made by the Chinese government to coordinate the two major situations at home and abroad, according to Mr. Wang. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of new energy and hydrogen industry, and has issued many policy documents such as the Medium and Long-term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Industry (2021-2035) to encourage the development and innovation of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry, thus providing a clear and broad market prospect for the development of this industry. Outstanding Swiss businesses, including GreenGT, are welcomed to partner with Chinese companies in the future to further the growth and advancement of the industry.
