In addition, the hydrogen power development plan will closely follow the integration and high standards, and complete the implementation of the overall industrial chain in three years. The project is expected to form 10000 sets of hydrogen fuel cell modules, hydrogen fuel cell heavy trucks and bus sanitation vehicles, and form the hydrogen production and hydrogenation supply service capacity required by 10000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
In fact, since last year, the news of the layout of hydrogen energy by energy enterprises has come frequently.
In June 2021, the wind power giant Xinjiang Goldwind Science And Technology Co.Ltd(002202) announced that it had established a joint venture platform company with Three Gorges new energy and sunshine new energy to enter the field of hydrogen energy, which made the three companies that had been deeply engaged in the fields of wind power, photovoltaic and energy storage form a close relationship between upstream and downstream and build a vertical project integrating wind, solar and energy storage.
Last August, "photovoltaic veterans" Jiangsu Linyang Energy Co.Ltd(601222) announced the establishment of a joint venture to officially enter into hydrogen energy. They signed a strategic joint venture agreement with Shunhua and strive to build the joint venture into an industry-leading advanced and efficient hydrogen production equipment manufacturing enterprise within five years.
It is worth mentioning that the two sides agreed to jointly expand the manufacturing of core equipment for solar hydrogen production in the field of "new energy + hydrogen production" and provide industry-leading solutions for supporting hydrogen production system for new energy power generation.
massive investment in hydrogen production
In this cooperation, Guangdong No.2 Hydropower Engineering Company Ltd(002060) will also be involved in hydrogen production: promote the coupling and large-scale development of photovoltaic wind power plants and electrolytic water hydrogen production, gradually establish a green, safe and efficient hydrogen energy supply system, and build an important green hydrogen production base in China.
In the past 2021, the development of green hydrogen has been recognized by the industry, which has further improved the heat of the hydrogen track.
The white paper on China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry predicts that by 2050, hydrogen energy will account for about 10% of China's energy system, the demand for hydrogen will be close to 60 million tons, the annual economic output value will exceed 10 trillion yuan, and there will be more than 10000 hydrogen refueling stations in China, with broad market prospects.
On January 4 this year, the national energy administration, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, the Ministry of transport and the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas jointly issued the action plan for innovative development of intelligent photovoltaic industry (2021-2025), which proposed to support the construction of pilot demonstration projects such as intelligent photovoltaic hydrogen production and accelerate the research on the coupling technology between hydrogen production system and photovoltaic.
In the field of green hydrogen, photovoltaic enterprises are ahead.
Since 2021, there are many photovoltaic giants targeting the hydrogen energy industry, Longi Green Energy Technology Co.Ltd(601012) , Jinko Power Technology Co.Ltd(601778) , Sungrow Power Supply Co.Ltd(300274) , GCL new energy and other enterprises have joined the Bureau.
The power of hydrogen is not as fast as that of thunder.
In October last year, it released the offline ceremony of the first alkaline water electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell adopts high current density design, and the hydrogen preparation capacity of a single electrolytic cell reaches 1000nm3 / h and above. In fact, it is only half a year since Longji newly established hydrogen energy company.
Not long ago, Longi Green Energy Technology Co.Ltd(601012) announced that the hydrogen production equipment of Longji hydrogen energy has initially formed an annual capacity delivery capacity of 500MW by the end of 2021.
This also indicates that the company has taken a key step in mass production in the field of hydrogen energy other than photovoltaic.
Last July, GCL New Energy announced a 10 billion yuan hydrogen energy industry investment fund, which officially released the synchronous development of the company's hydrogen energy strategy "blue hydrogen + Green hydrogen". According to the plan, it plans to build an annual output of 2.3 million tons of synthetic ammonia in the first phase, gradually expand the production scale to 4 million tons per year, supply 700000 tons of blue hydrogen in China, and ensure the green hydrogen with an annual capacity of 400000 tons in the future through the deployment of electrolytic cells and the construction of three innovation bases.
However, although the emergence of policies and investments has added a lot of confidence to the industry, the hydrogen energy industry is still facing many challenges in upstream production, midstream storage and transportation and downstream application. Among them, the high cost of hydrogen production and transportation is the primary challenge facing the popularization of hydrogen energy in China.
It is worth mentioning that recently, the national development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the opinions on improving the institutional mechanisms and policies and measures for green and low-carbon energy transformation, which mentioned key words such as the top-level design of new power system and the establishment of hydrogen energy production, supply, storage and marketing system. This means that next, many challenges in the hydrogen energy industry will be refined and solved.
