Shanghai: Build a world-class hydrogen energy industry highland by 2035

On June 25, Shanghai issued the "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry in Shanghai (2022-2035)".
By 2035, Shanghai will basically build a world-class hydrogen energy technology innovation highland, industrial development highland, and multiple demonstration applications.
highlands
.

The whole plan is divided into two steps
.
By 2025, Shanghai will build about 70 hydrogen refueling stations, cultivate 5 to 10 unicorn companies with international influence, and build 3 to 5 world-class innovative R&D platforms.
The number of fuel cell vehicles will break through 1.
10,000 vehicles, and the industry scale of the hydrogen energy industry chain has exceeded 100 billion yuan
.

It is understood that the current system integration from membrane electrodes, bipolar plates to fuel cell vehicles in Shanghai has formed a whole industry chain development system of technology, products and applications
.
Shanghai Industry's current hydrogen production and hydrogen supply capacity is nearly 500,000 tons per year, and 10 hydrogen refueling stations and nearly 30 kilometers of hydrogen pipelines have been built, laying the foundation for the application and promotion of hydrogen energy
.

In addition, Shanghai has formed a number of distinctive hydrogen energy industry clusters
.
Jinshan District has become an important source of hydrogen supply and key material research and development in the city; Baoshan District is actively building a hydrogen supply guarantee and comprehensive demonstration base; Lingang New Area is accelerating the introduction of key domestic and foreign enterprises to build hydrogen energy technology and industrial parks; Jiading District has A leading fuel cell vehicle industry cluster in China has been initially formed
.
But there are still some bottlenecks
.
For example, there is still a gap between the key technologies of hydrogen fuel cells and the international advanced level, Shanghai lacks competitive leading companies, and the application of hydrogen energy in new fields such as energy storage and power generation is relatively weak
.

To this end, the "Planning" proposes that Shanghai will build a highland for hydrogen energy technology innovation, relying on the foundation of Shanghai's automobile industry to improve the reliability, stability and durability of key materials such as catalysts, proton exchange membranes, and carbon paper, and improve stack design, The technological level of system integration forms the independence and industrialization of key technologies of the whole chain
.

At the same time, Shanghai will promote large-scale energy enterprises to accelerate their transformation into hydrogen energy production enterprises, give full play to the resource advantages of industrial by-product hydrogen in the chemical industry zone and biomass natural gas production in the Laogang landfill, and support carbon dioxide capture devices for hydrogen production, forming an advanced technology hydrogen supply system
.

In addition, Shanghai will also promote large-scale manufacturing enterprises to accelerate the transformation to hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing enterprises
.
Support small and medium-sized innovative enterprises to become better and stronger, and cultivate a group of unicorn enterprises and "specialized, special and new" enterprises in the field of hydrogen energy
.
Focusing on the key links of the industrial chain such as modular alkaline electrolyzers, PEM hydrogen production equipment manufacturing, hydrogen refueling station construction, and fuel cell integration, increase investment in research and development, carry out core technology research, and create high-level and high-standard hydrogen energy products and services.
Further stimulate the innovation and entrepreneurial vitality of the hydrogen energy industry
