Shanghai will produce a top-level design of 100 billion hydrogen fuel cells

As one of the main starting points for China to achieve the goal of "double carbon", the development of hydrogen energy industry has become a popular track in 2021, and relevant policies in the context of the hydrogen energy industry chain have been introduced in various parts of China during the year, and the hydrogen energy industry has also ushered in rapid development. At the same time, near the end of the year, the hydrogen energy sector of the A-share market was sought after by the market again, and on December 16, the hydrogen energy concept stocks set off a rising tide, and Zhiyuan New Energy, Hengguang Shares, Huadian Heavy Industry, Longquan Shares, Jingcheng Shares, Meijin Energy, Zhenhai Shares, Lanshi Heavy Equipment, Jiufeng Energy, Lanke High-tech, Kailong Shares, Petrochemical Machinery, etc. have risen and stopped.

"The development of hydrogen energy is a major strategic direction for national energy transformation and industrial adjustment, and it is also an important starting point for achieving the goal of 'double carbon'." In 2019, hydrogen energy was written into the government work report for the first time, proposing to promote the construction of charging, hydrogenation and other facilities, the 2020 energy law draft will include hydrogen energy in the energy category, and in 2021, the national level approved the demonstration application of fuel cell vehicles in three urban agglomerations such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, further clarifying the determination to accelerate the development of the fuel cell vehicle industry. Shanghai actively implements the national hydrogen energy industry development strategy, takes the fuel cell vehicle industry as a breakthrough, the infrastructure is ahead of the layout, and promotes 1483 fuel cell vehicles, accounting for 20% of the country. 10 hydrogen refueling stations have been built, breakthroughs have been made in key components such as fuel cell systems, and the construction of the industry has become increasingly perfect, and industrial bases such as Jiading District and Lingang have been initially formed. On December 14, Liu Ping, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, said at the 2021 Hydrogen Energy Industry High-quality Development Forum.

Liu Ping revealed that at present, Shanghai is strengthening the top-level planning and design, releasing the implementation plan for the innovative development of the fuel cell vehicle industry in Shanghai, forming an output scale of nearly 100 billion yuan, and promoting 10,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles; at the same time, giving full play to Shanghai's leading role, leading the formation of urban agglomerations in Suzhou, Nantong, Jiaxing, Zibo, Ordos and energy and chemical bases, etc., to fully complete the task of 5,000 fuel cell vehicle demonstration applications, closely follow the integration, and create the largest industrial scale, the best ecological environment, etc. The fuel cell vehicle industry cluster with the strongest overall competitiveness.

The hydrogen energy track "broke the game" road

In the process of promoting the dual-carbon strategy in China, how to achieve large-scale safe and effective use of clean energy is undoubtedly a key link, and the market with the largest wide application of hydrogen energy is also the conversion of fuel cells from lithium to hydrogen in the new energy vehicle market.

Just in November this year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Battle against Pollution", which pointed out that the in-depth implementation of the clean diesel vehicle (machine) action, the basic elimination of National III and below emission standard vehicles, the promotion of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle demonstration applications, and the orderly promotion of clean energy vehicles.

And Shanghai is once again at the forefront of the country.

At the summit forum on the 14th, Shanghai Gas Group, which is also the largest gas group integrating gas, sales, scheduling and pipe network in China (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghuo Group"), officially released the fourth generation of products - "Beyond - Shenzhou 200" high-power fuel cell engine, which is also the first innovative product developed by "hybrid" hydrogen cycle (HHM - Hybrid Hydrogen Module) technology in China. In addition, Shanghuo Group also released a new generation of hydrogen magic box and industry-leading fuel cell intelligent detection technology - "NORD (NODS) Cloud Doctor", fuel cell system PCU function integration reached 9 in 1, compared with the industry five-in-one series of products have a higher degree of integration, system reliability compared with the previous generation of products significantly improved, leading the industry fuel cell system to lightweight, high integration, high energy density acceleration; NORD (NODS) cloud doctor AI detection technology can achieve intelligent diagnosis of system health status 3. Self-regulation and repair function, with high power, long life, weather resistance and other market competitive advantages, more suitable for long-distance and heavy-duty applications, can achieve different working conditions of the whole scene coverage.

At the same time, based on the hydrogen safety management strategy and coaxial multi-stage pressure reduction technology, the first 70MPa multi-functional integrated pressure reducing valve group "Yanzhu" series products in China that has obtained third-party authoritative certification was launched synchronously, with a stable output pressure of 0.5MPa-2MPa and a life-cycle outlet pressure fluctuation

"Beyond - Shenzhou 200 engine rated at 200kW, mass power density of 760W/kg, the highest efficiency of 60%, life of more than 15,000 hours." Through the innovative hybrid hydrogen cycle technology (HHM-Hybrid Hydrogen Module), compared with the single pump scheme, the full power range is pulled full, achieving a boundaryless breakthrough of 1%-100%, realizing a more energy-saving and efficient hydrogen-powered hybrid technology, which can greatly reduce the hydrogen consumption of the system in the future and achieve 10% endurance improvement. Zhang Tianyu, chairman of Shangyan Group, said at the forum.

In terms of application scenarios, Shanghuan Group has focused on multi-field in-depth cooperation in hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology, and has actively expanded the diversified application scenarios of hydrogen energy, and established cooperation and signed contracts with many well-known enterprises in the fields of real estate, logistics, steel, shipbuilding and other fields, including jointly building the first community cogeneration project in China with Love Real Estate, exploring zero-carbon logistics and transportation system with Meijin Energy, Ant Logistics and Hydrogen Vehicle Familiar Road, and jointly developing "China's First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Yacht" with Wuxi Lihu Group and Dalian Maritime University. Jointly build a full-scenario and all-field ecological construction of hydrogen energy。

"As the heavy array of Shanghai automobiles, we have been supporting the development of hydrogen energy, our fuel cell vehicles in 2001 in our place to take root and grow, Shanghai Jiading District took the lead in the layout of fuel cell vehicle industry, in 2006, the country's first demonstration operation hydrogen refueling station settled in Jiading District, through more than ten years of industrial chain level continued to exert force, our new momentum of automobile industry development to the overall city to accelerate the development, polar convergence of independent innovation like reshaping energy including fuel power and so on such independent innovation enterprises." Recently, our automobile city was officially approved as the software park of Shanghai intelligent vehicles, as an important bearing area of the two first batch of national pilot projects, these two pilot projects are also the highlights of the entire automotive field this year, Jiading District is making every effort to seize the commanding heights of new energy vehicles, especially hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, seize the fuel cell vehicle outlet, lead the hydrogen energy leading kinetic energy as the goal, and accelerate the construction of a world-class industrial center with strong agglomeration effect. In this regard, Li Feng, deputy mayor of Shanghai Jiading District, revealed on the same day.

Opportunities and challenges coexist

At the forum on the same day, Yu Zhuoping, director of the Expert Committee of the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance, said in an interview that in the global hydrogen energy market, although China has started research twenty years ago, it is not in an absolutely advantageous position in technology, Japan has occupied the lead in research and use of hydrogen energy for many years, while China is in the second echelon of the United States and Germany.

"Hydrogen energy has the advantage of large-scale and long-term cycle, which can realize the transfer of power time and space of renewable energy." It's that it can be stored permanently and can be shipped anywhere. Therefore, it is imperative that we establish a new system of low-cost, large-scale and green economy. New energy fuel cell technology has promoted the development of automotive distributed generation and emerging industries, which is the utilization of hydrogen energy in fuel cell vehicles. We can charge within 3-5 minutes, add hydrogen fuel, add enough, the cruising range can reach more than 500-1000 kilometers, which is the main solution for the sustainable development of the automotive industry. In addition, distributed combined heat and power, including deep-sea submersibles or unmanned aerial vehicles, can take advantage of this high energy density hydrogen energy. When talking about the prospects of hydrogen energy, Gan Yong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in a video speech on the same day.

Gan Yong further pointed out that at present, the focus of China's hydrogen energy utilization is to create an era of hydrogen energy heavy trucks, and the application of hydrogen fuel cells for heavy-duty diesel vehicles will be a top priority. Because nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel vehicles account for 8.3% of total emissions, particulate emissions also account for a large proportion. Compared with those special areas, ports and terminals are places where heavy diesel vehicles are dense, so the pollution is quite serious.

"Hydrogen fuel cells, different from the characteristics of lithium batteries, heavy load and long endurance, it is impossible to install lithium power batteries on a 49-ton diesel car, then the weight of the battery is too heavy." And hydrogen fuel cells can achieve this goal, because the energy density is very high, so in the dense port, if we do demonstration, the first vice-production of hydrogen, the second offshore wind power after the transportation is convenient, from the sea other ways to transport the hydrogen source, easy to apply in the port of heavy truck fuel vehicles, so the port is a best application demonstration point. Gan Yong said.
