[Why has green hydrogen become the 'champagne of energy transition'?] In 2025, green hydrogen, as an important option for clean energy, has attracted widespread attention for its applicability. According to the analysis released by Greenpeace, green hydrogen should be used in specific scenarios and should not be seen as a universal solution. Hydrogen energy is divided into different "colors" according to its production method: gray hydrogen is produced from natural gas and emits a large amount of carbon dioxide; Blue hydrogen combined carbon capture technology, but with high cost and risk; Green hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water from renewable energy sources to achieve climate neutrality, but producing 1 kilogram requires approximately 55 kilowatt hours of electricity. In addition, there are various types such as red hydrogen, orange hydrogen, and yellow hydrogen. Green hydrogen is mainly suitable for fields that are difficult to electrify, such as some steel production, specific metal manufacturing, and hydrogenation processes in the petrochemical industry. In terms of energy storage, hydrogen has low conversion efficiency and energy loss can reach up to 60%. In scenarios such as heating and road traffic, green hydrogen lacks economic and efficiency advantages. The efficiency of heat pumps is about 5 times that of hydrogen heating, and the efficiency of electric vehicles is also 3 times that of hydrogen internal combustion engines. In addition, storage and transportation solutions for liquid hydrogen and ammonia still face challenges in terms of immature technology and facility renovation. Experts point out that achieving climate goals should prioritize direct electrification, improving energy efficiency and conservation, and green hydrogen can only serve as a supplement to specific fields. As economist Claudia Kenfert said, it is more like "champagne in the energy transition" - precious but not universal. Editor/Yang Beihua

• [State owned enterprise Xiong'an Science and Technology Innovation]
• As a landmark project undertaken by a state-owned energy enterprise to relocate non capital functions in Beijing, Xiong'an Science and Technology Innovation Park has officially started construction. This project focuses on building a new energy system, aiming to create an innovative highland that integrates technology research and development, achievement transformation, and industrial incubation. The project will deeply integrate various clean energy sources such as geothermal and photovoltaic, create a nearly zero carbon demonstration park, and plan to introduce national innovation platforms and high-end talents, focusing on cutting-edge fields such as smart energy and hydrogen energy. This move is not only an important measure for central enterprises to serve the construction of Xiong'an New Area and implement the "dual carbon" goals, but also a powerful push for the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the energy industry in the new area, injecting strong impetus into the creation of a world-class green and smart new city.Editor/Bian Wenjun

• [Kaiping International Wealth Plaza lays foundation and starts construction]
• The groundbreaking ceremony for the Kaiping International Wealth Plaza project, with a total investment of 180 million yuan, officially kicked off the construction. This project is undertaken by China Construction Third Engineering Bureau and is one of the key projects promoting the "High Quality Development Project of Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, and Ten Thousand Villages" in Kaiping City. The project is located in Sanbu Street, Kaiping City, with a total construction area of approximately 32000 square meters. It will build a 15 story hotel and a 7-story office building, as well as a commercial podium. After completion, it will integrate accommodation, business, catering, and entertainment, becoming another important urban commercial complex and new landmark in Kaiping City. The commencement of this project will not only effectively enhance the quality of urban functions and meet the diverse consumption needs of citizens, but also provide a large number of job opportunities for the local area, injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of the economy in Kaiping city.Editor/Bian Wenjun
