Introduction  Under the "carbon peak and neutrality" goal, China's hydrogen energy has great potential. Based on the status quo of China's hydrogen energy industry development, this paper studies the paths and policies for the high-quality development of hydrogen energy in China around the existing problems.

  Method  Relevant policies, literature, and cases at home and abroad were sorted out, analyzed, and summarized from the two perspectives of path and policy.

  Result  In terms of paths, using hydrogen energy to promote the decarbonization of the energy system in transportation and industry, integrating hydrogen energy with the existing oil and gas energy storage and transportation pipeline system, using hydrogen energy to standardize renewable energy, developing hydrogen production by electrolysis (photovoltaic, wind and other renewable energy power generation), increasing the commercial promotion of hydrogen fuel cells, etc., are effective paths for the high-quality development of hydrogen energy in China. In terms of policy, improving the top-level policy design of national hydrogen energy, refining the policies support for special research on hydrogen energy "production, storage, transportation and utilization," accelerating the formulation of hydrogen energy-related standards and norms, strengthening the construction of strategic alliances of the hydrogen energy industry and improving the coordination of supply and demand in the hydrogen energy market, etc., are essential guarantees

  Conclusion  The relevant path suggestions and policy discussions mentioned in the research can provide a reference for relevant departments and industry personnel.
