\u2018Hard-to-abate\u2019 (HTA) sectors, such as iron, steel, cement, chemicals, and building materials, rely heavily on fossil fuels and account for around 30% of the world\u2019s annual CO2<\/sub> emissions. The biggest HTA sector is heavy-duty transportation, which is harder to electrify than passenger transport, because it requires huge batteries that add to vehicle weight and take a long time to charge.<\/p>\n China has committed to becoming net-zero by 2060, but is by far the largest producer of iron, steel and building materials.<\/p>\n The study is the first of its kind to evaluate the use of green hydrogen across China\u2019s energy system and economy.<\/p>\nReducing China\u2019s CO2<\/sub> emissions<\/h3>\n
