The medium and long-term plan is introduced, and my country's hydrogen energy development adds a "signpost"

The "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035)" clarifies the three strategic positions of hydrogen energy: hydrogen energy is an important part of the future national energy system; hydrogen energy is an important part of energy-using terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation Carrier; The hydrogen energy industry is a strategic emerging industry and a key development direction of the future industry

Recently, the development of the hydrogen energy industry has once again come under the spotlight

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") jointly issued by the Commission and the National Energy Administration

"With the eager expectation of the industry and the high attention at home and abroad, the boots issued in the "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035)" have finally landed.

The three strategic positions of hydrogen energy are clear

Similar to electricity, hydrogen energy is a common secondary energy that needs to be obtained through primary energy conversion; the difference is that hydrogen energy has high energy density and simple storage methods, making it an ideal choice for large-scale, long-term energy storage.

"The main carriers of renewable energy are electricity and hydrogen, which are complementary in terms of power and energy storage.

"Hydrogen energy is hailed by the international community as the clean energy with the most development potential in the 21st century, and hydrogen energy technology innovation and industrial development continue to be favored by all countries

The "Planning" issued by China also clarifies the three strategic positions of hydrogen energy, that is, hydrogen energy is an important part of the future national energy system; hydrogen energy is an important carrier for energy-using terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation; hydrogen energy industry is a strategic Sex emerging industries and key development directions of future industries

Hydrogen production from renewable energy is an inevitable choice

"Solving the problem of where hydrogen comes from is the basis for the development of the hydrogen energy industry, and not adding carbon emissions is the premise for the development of the hydrogen energy industry
.
" At the press conference held on the day the "Plan" was announced, Deputy Director of the High Technology Department of the National Development and Reform Commission Chang Wang Xiang said
.

China is already the largest hydrogen producer in the world, with an annual hydrogen production output of about 33 million tons, of which about 12 million tons meet the industrial hydrogen quality standard
.
From the perspective of the source of hydrogen, China's industrial by-product hydrogen technology is mature and the cost is low, and it will still be the main hydrogen source in the near future; but in the long run, the scale of hydrogen production from renewable energy has greater potential, and it is cleaner and more sustainable.
decline, will become an important source of hydrogen
.

Ouyang Minggao analyzed that if hydrogen production is based on fossil energy, there are problems of low energy utilization efficiency and high carbon dioxide emissions
.
Although hydrogen production from renewable energy also has energy conversion efficiency problems in the entire chain of production, storage and transportation, utilization, but with the continuous expansion of renewable energy installed capacity, the efficiency problem can be transformed into a cost problem
.

　　"In the Zhangjiakou Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone approved by the State Council, our team tried to carry out the whole chain engineering verification from renewable energy hydrogen production to end application.
When the renewable energy electricity price is lower than 0.
15 yuan/kWh, it can The economy of hydrogen production from renewable energy can be guaranteed
.
" In Ouyang Minggao's view, hydrogen production from renewable energy is an inevitable choice to adhere to the path of green and low-carbon development
.

　　Seize opportunities in the global hydrogen industry competition

　　The latest "Planning" puts innovation at the core of industrial development, focusing on the entire chain of hydrogen energy preparation, storage, transportation, and application, breaking through key core technologies, improving the independent and controllable capabilities of equipment, and promoting the in-depth integration and development of the innovation chain of the industrial chain.

.

　　"The hydrogen energy technology chain is long and has many difficulties, and the economy of the existing technology cannot fully meet the practical needs.
It is urgent to make innovations and breakthroughs in the main links such as hydrogen energy preparation, storage and transportation, filling, as well as fuel cells and hydrogen energy storage systems.
Focus on tackling key technologies
.
" Ouyang Minggao said
.

　　Ouyang Minggao believes that at the same time, basic research and applied basic research should be carried out for the frontier of hydrogen energy technology
.
For example, hydrogen production catalysts and anion membranes from water electrolysis, photoelectric catalytic hydrogen production, hydrogen liquefaction cycle based on superconducting strong magnetic field and high-efficiency magnetic refrigeration, and medium-pressure cryogenic gaseous hydrogen storage and other new-generation hydrogen energy technologies
.

　　Compared with electrochemical power cells, China's hydrogen fuel cells are relatively weak in terms of technical reserves, industrial foundation, and talent team, and there is also a certain gap with the international advanced level
.
Ouyang Minggao suggested to establish a hydrogen energy innovation platform as soon as possible, carry out key core technology research and personnel training, and create a self-reliant technology system
.

　　"In the global hydrogen energy industry competition, we must seize the opportunity, strive to achieve a revolutionary breakthrough in hydrogen energy technology, promote the full maturity of hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology, and promote large-scale market penetration of hydrogen energy in key application fields such as transportation and industry.
, to seize the international frontier position
.
" Ouyang Minggao said
