BEIJING -- China aims to have 50,000 fuel cell vehicles on its roads by 2025, under a long-term plan for developing the country's hydrogen industry released Wednesday.

The plan, which runs through 2035, positions hydrogen as an important element in the national energy system to help reach President Xi Jinping's goals of having China's carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
