China has made new breakthroughs in hydrogen refueling, and has built more than 250 hydrogen refueling stations, accounting for about 40% of the global number. The number of hydrogen refueling stations ranks first in the world.
This is the information disclosed by Liu Yafang, deputy director of the science and Technology Department of the national energy administration, at the “China International Economic Exchange Center – UNDP Hydrogen Energy Industry Summit Forum” recently.
She said that in order to cope with climate change, China, like other major economies in the world, attaches great importance to the development of hydrogen energy technology and industry. So far, more than 200 hydrogen energy planning and guidance opinions have been issued in more than 20 provinces in China. With the encouragement of the state and local governments, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign enterprises have shown great enthusiasm for the development of hydrogen energy industry. The hydrogen energy industry in the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Bay area and the Bohai Rim region shows a trend of cluster development.
In terms of hydrogen energy preparation, renewable energy hydrogen production projects have been actively promoted in North China and Northwest China, and the cost of hydrogen production from electrolytic water has decreased steadily; In terms of hydrogen energy storage and transportation, we will focus on 20 MPa gaseous high-pressure hydrogen storage and high-pressure tube bundle trailer transportation, and actively expand liquid hydrogen transportation and hydrogen mixing transportation in natural gas pipeline network.
In terms of diversified applications, in addition to traditional chemical, steel and other industrial fields, hydrogen energy is steadily promoting pilot applications in transportation, energy, construction and other fields. In the field of transportation, at present, China is dominated by passenger cars and heavy trucks. The number of vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells in operation exceeds 6000, accounting for about 12% of the total global operation.
Liu Yafang said that the National Energy Administration attaches great importance to and actively promotes the development of hydrogen energy technology and industry. In recent years, by strengthening top-level design and macro guidance, it has promoted the tackling of key technical equipment, explored the efficient utilization of multiple scenarios, established and improved the standardization system, and actively promoted the development of hydrogen energy industry.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, executive vice president of China International Economic Exchange Center, believes that in recent years, the national, local and enterprise R & D investment in the field of hydrogen energy has been increasing. We should fully learn from the experience of the development of new energy formats such as wind power and photovoltaic, not only give full play to the innovation dominant position of enterprises, but also strengthen the integration of high-quality innovation resources, encourage collaborative innovation, and accelerate the breakthrough of the bottleneck of key materials and core technology equipment in the whole hydrogen energy industry chain.
