The development of the hydrogen energy industry has increased significantly, why the price of hydrogen remains high

Since hydrogen energy was first written into the "Government Work Report" in 2019, the development of my country's hydrogen energy industry has accelerated significantly.

Wei Wei, Dean of Zhangjiagang Hydrogen Cloud New Energy Research Institute, said that the use of high-pressure long-tube trailers to store and transport hydrogen is only a stopgap measure.
From the current point of view, increasing the pressure standard for high-pressure storage and transportation can ease the storage and transportation problem, but the size of my country Vast, high-pressure trailer transportation is far from solving the essential problem.

He Guangli also pointed out that after the large-scale development of hydrogen energy in my country, the lowest-cost transportation route in the hydrogen energy industry is pipeline transportation.

"The current situation of my country's hydrogen energy industry is like the natural gas industry 20 years ago.
At first, the natural gas industry only had long-tube trailers for high-pressure natural gas.
However, with the continuous development of the industry, the cost of domestic natural gas has dropped significantly and related infrastructure has been continuously improved.
Hydrogen and The terminal application scenarios of natural gas are basically the same, and the development path can also refer to natural gas.
" Wei Wei pointed out, "The current domestic hydrogen energy market is in the cultivation stage.
After the hydrogen energy industry achieves large-scale development, the mainstream of hydrogen storage and transportation will be the mainstream.
Large-scale pipeline transportation, coupled with storage and transportation methods such as liquid hydrogen, chemical hydrogen storage, solid hydrogen storage and other methods may also play a supplementary role.
"

For road hydrogen transportation, Wang Ziyuan suggested that localities can work hard to create first demonstration conditions according to their own conditions, and through regional demonstrations, gradually explore gaseous storage and transportation methods for long-tube trailers with a pressure level of 30 MPa and above, and improve the efficiency of hydrogen road transportation.
The increase in the pressure level of the tube trailer is related to the decrease in the cost of hydrogen transportation, and based on the research results, scientific and reasonable suggestions on the road hydrogen transportation standards are put forward.
