Established on June 23rd, 2022, Zhejiang University Hydrogen Energy Institute (Hydrogen ZJU) is a new research unit at Zhejiang University, a prestigious comprehensive research university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Its mission is to promote interdisciplinary teaching and research innovation in the hydrogen energy field, and it prioritizes talents in the mission to fulfill its responsibility. The leadership of Hydrogen ZJU involves Professor Jinyang Zheng, a Chinese Academy of Engineering member and an active global scholar, as the dean. At the same time, Hydrogen ZJU hosts a variety of broadly recognized experts, like the Chinese Academy of Engineering member, the Cheung Kong Scholar and the Distinguished Young Scholar, and many active young scholars. They have played a pivotal role in contributing to global hydrogen storage, transport, and safety research and standardization.

As the globe acknowledges the influence of climate change and the necessity of decarbonization, substituting fossil energy with clean energy, like hydrogen energy, becomes urgent. However, making hydrogen energy safe, affordable, and broadly used takes time and effort. Hydrogen ZJU appreciates open collaboration with innovative research units and global talents to work on this challenge. So far, Hydrogen ZJU has established several top independent and joint research centers and laboratories, like the Hydrogen Energy Equipment and Safety Technology Engineering Center recognized by Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the ZJU-HANGYANG Liquid Hydrogen Equipment Technology Joint Lab led by Zhejiang University and HANGYANG, and the ZJU-CIMC & ENRIC Hydrogen Energy Technology Joint Research & Development Center led by Zhejiang University, CIMC, and ENRIC. Meanwhile, Hydrogen ZJU has been seeking to work with active global talents passionate about hydrogen-related research and technology innovation.
