Baogang Steel Wins Supplier Status for Coated Steel at 1 GW Damao Green-Hydrogen Project

Highlights

• Baogang Steel's zinc-aluminum-magnesium-coated steel qualified for photovoltaic mounting structures at the 1 GW Damao wind-solar-to-hydrogen project in Inner Mongolia.
• The Damao project combines 700 MW wind and 300 MW solar to produce roughly 47,000 metric tons of green hydrogen per year.
• Baotou's regional ecosystem links rare earths, specialty steel, renewable energy, and hydrogen in one integrated industrial cluster.
• China's cluster model—where suppliers, customers, energy, and government support share the same regional network—poses a systemic competitive challenge to fragmented Western supply chains.
