Karamay, Xinjiang, is transitioning from an oil-dependent economy to a center for hydrogen and renewable energy, aiming to become West China's 'hydrogen capital' by producing over 1 million tons of green hydrogen annually. The city is investing in a 1.7 billion yuan energy storage project and a zero-carbon data center, while also enhancing urban infrastructure and diversifying industries as part of its 15th Five-Year Plan. This strategic shift positions Karamay as a key player in sustainable energy and Eurasian trade.
