The green Winter Olympics "hydrogen" is loaded
The Beijing Winter Olympics have entered the countdown, and the biggest highlight of this "green" Winter Olympics is that it balances the dual benefits of economy and ecology, and highlights China's style as a big country. It is reported that the Beijing Winter Olympics is also expected to become the first Olympic event to truly achieve carbon neutrality, and all 26 venues in the three major competition areas will use "green electricity", of which hydrogen energy will become the "protagonist" energy. Under the "Winter Olympics effect", some of the leading stocks of the hydrogen energy concept in A-shares have also continued to be popular with capital.
The footsteps of the Beijing Winter Olympics are gradually approaching, and this Winter Olympics, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be a major highlight.
According to data from the Organizing Committee of the Winter Olympic Games, this Year's Winter Olympics will demonstrate the operation of more than 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and more than 30 hydrogen refueling stations. The Winter Olympics will become an important demonstration application scenario for hydrogen vehicles.
In recent years, the hydrogen energy industry has set off a wave of development boom across the country. In the view of industry experts, with the demonstration application of the Winter Olympics, the hydrogen energy industry will usher in a watershed in the industry, and the landing and blossoming of hydrogen fuel vehicles in some application scenarios is just around the corner.
The "hydrogen" of the Winter Olympics is loaded
In this Winter Olympics, hydrogen fuel vehicles will become a bright color. The Winter Olympic Organizing Committee said that energy-saving and clean energy vehicles will be used to the greatest extent during the Winter Olympics, accounting for 85.84% of the planned proportion, which is the highest in the previous Winter Olympics.
The opening of the Winter Olympics is imminent, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for regional services have been put into use. Beiqi Foton has about 212 fuel cell buses put into use at the Winter Olympics. In addition, Yutong Bus, Zhongtong Bus and Geely Commercial Vehicle are also providing hydrogen fuel cell buses for use in the Winter Olympics.
Different from the Summer Olympic Games, during the Winter Olympic Games, the temperature is as low as minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, which means that the low temperature environment of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will put forward higher requirements for the start-up and endurance of new energy vehicles.
Lin Cheng, professor at Beijing Institute of Technology and chairman of Guangdong Huafeng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., told the 21st Century Business Herald that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can better adapt to high altitude, low temperature and mountainous undulating environment, and can achieve rapid cold start in an environment of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, truly achieving "all-climate operation". Therefore, hydrogen energy will be applied on a large scale during the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Lin Cheng introduced to the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that Beijing Polytechnic Huachuang Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., which participated in the "Olympic Electric Vehicle Zero Emission Project" for a long time, is also an important force in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles serving the Beijing Winter Olympics. "The hydrogen fuel cell buses we have developed and produced in cooperation with Beiqi Foton, Beijing Yihuatong and other enterprises will serve the Beijing Winter Olympics."
Lin Cheng said that in the face of the application needs of the Winter Olympic environment, the lithium-ion power battery system product independently developed by the project team of Beijing Institute of Technology - the all-climate power battery can provide strong kinetic energy in an extremely cold environment and install an anti-freeze "heart" for new energy vehicles.
In the view of industry experts, the Winter Olympics will be an important scene for the demonstration and promotion of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen refueling stations, and major hydrogen energy companies have successively landed in Beijing and Zhangjiakou to actively participate in the holding of the Green Winter Olympics.
In addition, energy giants such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and State Power Investment are also investing in the construction of hydrogen refueling stations along the transportation trunk line. Up to now, PetroChina has built 4 hydrogen refueling stations in the Beijing Winter Olympics area, and the hydrogen supply capacity during the Winter Olympics will reach 5500 kg/day, which can provide services for nearly 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Promote the scale of hydrogen fuel vehicles
Under the "double carbon" goal, the development of China's hydrogen energy industry is entering the fast lane. Although the top-level design at the national level has not yet been introduced, the support policies for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in various places can be described as blooming everywhere.
Hydrogen energy industry experts Xiang Hua told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the main application scenarios of hydrogen energy, and with the successive landing of hydrogen energy industry planning in various places, it will accelerate the commercial road of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and add new catalysts for industrial development.
Industry insiders said that the Olympic Games is a gathering place and testing ground for new technologies in various fields, and with the demonstration and application of hydrogen fuel vehicles in the Winter Olympics, hydrogen energy vehicles will usher in a watershed in the industry.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, pure electric vehicles shuttled between various venues and Olympic villages became a beautiful landscape, and now electric vehicles have gradually entered more ordinary people's homes in China.
Lin Cheng introduced to the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the project team of Beijing Institute of Technology also took the lead in participating in the research and development project of electric vehicles in the Olympic Games, and presided over the "Olympic Electric Vehicle Zero Emission Project". "After the Olympic Games, the country felt that electric buses could be used on a large scale, and since then, it has been clear that electric drive vehicles are an important strategic direction for new energy vehicles, and new energy vehicles have ushered in a period of rapid development."
In the view of industry experts, if hydrogen fuel vehicles can be applied in a cold environment, this shows that fuel cell vehicles can be industrialized. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have high manufacturing costs and fast energy replenishment speed, which is more suitable for use in fixed scenarios. The demonstration operation of the Winter Olympics is expected to effectively promote the large-scale application of fuel cell vehicles, especially in public transport operations, and is expected to usher in a key breakthrough in hydrogen fuel vehicles.
In addition, the hydrogen refueling station built around the Winter Olympics is also a very important hydrogen energy infrastructure in the future, and through the practical application of this Winter Olympics, it will provide sufficient data and practical cases for the future application of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
In recent years, hydrogen fuel cell projects have blossomed all over the country. According to incomplete statistics, at present, 30 provinces and more than 150 cities in the country have mentioned hydrogen energy development in their "14th Five-Year Plan", and more than 50 cities have issued special plans for the development of local hydrogen energy industry. According to the planning goals of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, by 2025, more than 1,000 hydrogen refueling stations will be built nationwide, and more than 54,000 hydrogen fuel vehicles will be promoted.
In the face of the development boom of hydrogen energy vehicles, leading car companies have also seized the opportunity to layout. Yutong, SAIC, Foton, Great Wall, Geely Commercial Vehicles, etc. have made clear plans and increased investment to promote the research and development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the commercialization of products.
Industry insiders analyze that today's hydrogen energy is similar to lithium batteries more than a decade ago, hydrogen energy is currently facing problems, mainly production costs, hydrogen refueling station construction and hydrogen energy transportation three major problems, once can break through the industrial application of several major shortcomings, hydrogen energy application promotion will drive into the fast lane.
In fact, in recent years, the localization process of equipment in the hydrogen energy industry chain has accelerated significantly, with the gradual decline in the cost of green hydrogen, the core technology continues to break through, and the layout of hydrogen energy in many places is accelerated, and the complete industrial chain will gradually form.
In the future, Guangdong Huafeng New Energy will further promote cooperation in government, industry, education and research in Foshan. Lin Cheng introduced that with beijing institute of technology for the core technology of hydrogen fuel cells, the company is currently ready to link the upstream and downstream of Foshan's industrial chain, and form a large hydrogen energy plate with the local advantageous manufacturing industry.
Lin Cheng said that the demonstration application of the Beijing Winter Olympics will greatly enhance the confidence of enterprises and local governments in the application of hydrogen energy, and hydrogen fuel cells will usher in a period of rapid development. "After the Winter Olympics, I expect to increase support for the application of hydrogen fuel cells at the national level. From the perspective of enterprises, it is necessary to deeply lay out the industrial chain, make the hydrogen energy industry chain more complete, develop low-cost core components and components products, and solve the dependence on foreign key technologies. ”
