    Ningxia Ningdong Energy Chemical Base (referred to as "Ningdong Base"), located on the edge of the Mu Us Sandy Land, is my country's largest modern coal chemical industry demonstration zone.



    Exploring the "second fuel"


    4 million tons of coal-to-liquid, 3.



    However, a problem that cannot be ignored is that after becoming my country's largest coal-to-liquid and coal-based olefin production base, resource and environmental constraints have become increasingly severe.



    "It is necessary to explore the'second fuel' and'second raw material' other than coal, and open up a new path of safe, green and innovative development.



    The Ningdong base is aimed at hydrogen.



    "If green hydrogen is used instead of ash-hydrogen coupled coal chemical industry, based on the existing capacity, the coal chemical industry in the Ningdong base can reduce coal consumption by 17 million tons, save energy and consume 12 million tons of standard coal, and reduce carbon dioxide by 30 million.



    At present, some enterprises in the Ningdong base have begun to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen energy industry projects.



    No carbon, green hydrogen, "two birds with one stone"


    According to the plan, my country should adopt more powerful policies and measures, and strive to reach a peak in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
    With the implementation of this vision, the energy sector will usher in a fundamental adjustment, and modern coal chemical industry has become a top priority to accelerate the green transformation.


    At present, my country relies more on fossil energy to produce hydrogen, but the biggest drawback of fossil energy hydrogen production is that it will be accompanied by a large amount of carbon dioxide.
    The large-scale and low-cost source of hydrogen production from coal can only be reaction with water, which inevitably increases energy consumption and water consumption and emits a large amount of carbon dioxide.
    Only by starting from renewable energy to produce electrolyzed water hydrogen energy can green hydrogen that is green, clean and decarbonized throughout its life cycle be formed.


    "The hydrogen produced from fossil energy is called gray hydrogen.
    Gray hydrogen is not desirable.
    Although the carbon capture and storage technology can turn gray hydrogen into blue hydrogen, blue hydrogen can only be used as a transition.
    In the long run.
    , We still have to produce carbon-free green hydrogen through renewable energy, that is, electrolyzed water.
    ” Li Yizhong, chairman of the China Federation of Industrial Economics, said at the Ningdong Base Hydrogen Energy Industry and Energy Transformation Development Forum held recently.


    The use of renewable energy to produce green hydrogen coupled with coal chemical industry and partially replace coal to produce ash hydrogen is an important path for Ningdong Base to optimize the industrial structure, break the bottleneck of energy resources and environmental constraints, and achieve high-quality development.


      “We are deploying hydrogen energy projects across the industry chain such as photovoltaic power generation, hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, hydrogen supplementation from coal chemical industry, hydrogen storage facilities, industrial and heavy truck applications,” Tao Shaohua said.
    It is estimated that by 2025, the green hydrogen production capacity will reach 200,000.
    The consumption of green hydrogen in the coupled coal chemical industry reached 75,000 tons, reducing the total coal consumption by 600,000 tons, and reducing the use of carbon dioxide by more than 1 million tons.


      The Ningdong base has unique conditions for the development of carbon-free green hydrogen.
    As a first-class area in China that accepts solar radiation, Ningdong area has more than 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and 1,700 hours of solar power generation.
    The cost of photovoltaic power generation is as low as 0.
    23 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the cost of preparing green hydrogen is less than 20 yuan per kilogram.
    In addition, the Ningdong base also has nearly 300 square kilometers of coal lapping area and subsidence area after coal mining, which can be deployed with distributed photovoltaics.


      "Because hydrogen is a secondary energy source and can be made from renewable primary energy sources, green hydrogen can become a new output path for renewable energy.
    " said Mao Zongqiang, vice chairman of the International Hydrogen Energy Association and professor at the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology of Tsinghua University , The northwest region has abundant solar and wind energy resources, which is a convenient place to produce and use green hydrogen.


      Create a full industrial chain of green hydrogen


      At present, the global hydrogen energy industry is very hot, and the topics are endless, and the hydrogen economy is on the line.
    However, as a strategic emerging industry, hydrogen energy still has unbroken bottlenecks in the industrialization of key links such as manufacturing, storage and transportation.
    Further exploration is needed to develop new products, plan new scenarios, and explore new models.


      "my country's hydrogen production capacity is seriously insufficient.
    It is estimated that the demand will reach 60 million tons per year in 2050, and the shortfall will reach 25 million tons per year.
    " Xu Chunming, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of China University of Petroleum, said that great attention should be paid to the development of hydrogen energy and fuel cells.
    The development route led by the state, enterprise cooperation, and industry coordination has achieved breakthroughs in hydrogen preparation and storage and transportation technologies, and promoted the development of low-carbon energy and industrialization of hydrogen energy.


      The reporter learned that Ningxia has formulated the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry".
    Through the establishment of a policy support system, it vigorously cultivates and develops the hydrogen energy industry, promotes the transformation and upgrading of the energy industry in the region, and promotes high-quality economic development.
    At the same time, the Ningdong base is also focusing on building a hydrogen energy industry with “green hydrogen” as the mainstay, multiple hydrogen production methods coexisting, and close connection between upstream and downstream, with its locational resource advantages, complete industrial foundation, and strong innovation momentum.
    Chain and build a hydrogen energy ecosystem in which industry, technology, talents, and the environment go hand in hand.
