Bangladesh boosts EV adoption in bid to cut pollution, emissions

The new five-year plan and a pilot scheme signal China is getting serious about green hydrogen, with steelmaking among the sectors that may benefit.

City policies should stress practical outcomes and lower electricity bills rather than emission reductions.
