Academician Peng Suping: The next ten years will usher in an important period of opportunity for hydrogen energy

On September 21, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the National Energy Administration formally jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out Fuel Cell Vehicle Demonstration Applications".
The demonstration period is tentatively set to four years.
From the perspective of its support methods, the method of "reward for compensation" will be adopted to approve and allocate reward funds for the city clusters that are shortlisted for demonstration in accordance with the completion of their goals.
? In terms of policy thinking, the central government hopes to accelerate the development and innovation of relevant basic materials, key components and core technologies of vehicles by awarding new technology demonstration applications and key core technology industrialization applications.
? At the "2020 China Hydrogen Energy Development Summit Forum" held in Zibo recently, Peng Suping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Fuel Cell Special Committee of the China Energy Research Society, said, "From the perspective of China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell development strategy, the next 10 years 20 years will be an important period of opportunity for the development of China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell industries.
It is necessary to closely link China's energy development reality to help achieve the high-quality development of hydrogen energy and fuel cells.
" The top-level design of the hydrogen energy industry strategy has been brewing for a long time.
What are the shackles that need to be broken through, and what kind of planning and special advantages do localities have in this hydrogen energy competition? Core technologies to be breakthroughs.
As the world pays more and more attention to the development of the hydrogen energy industry and proposes a development route for large-scale commercialization, even some European countries use hydrogen energy as one of the important means to revitalize the economy during the epidemic.
The importance of energy, hydrogen fuel cells were included in the "Government Work Report" for the first time in 2019, and in 2020, hydrogen energy was included in the "Energy Law" for comments.
Zhu Junhong, chairman of Shanghai Ganglian E-Commerce Co.
, Ltd.
and Shandong Longzhong Information Technology Co.
, Ltd.
, stated at the meeting that hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient secondary energy source, is increasingly valued in the energy transition.
The country vigorously promotes hydrogen energy.
With the development of the energy industry, automobile companies, fuel cell supply companies and investment institutions are enthusiastic.
? Hydrogen Cloud Chain data shows that from January to July 2020, the total nominal investment in China's hydrogen energy industry exceeded 130 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 30%, of which 5 projects reached the tens of billions level.
Peng Suping believes that from the perspective of the development of hydrogen energy and fuel cells, the current high degree of energy dependence on foreign sources and huge pressure on energy security.
Improving the efficiency of coal-fired power generation and achieving near-zero CO2 emissions are major issues that the energy industry must consider.
Renewable energy Large-scale consumption requires large-scale energy storage and peak shaving.
Distributed power supply is an important supplement to centralized power supply.
Demand for automobiles is growing rapidly and environmental pressure is gradually increasing.
It is urgent to break through key energy technologies and promote energy.
Technological revolution.
? From the perspective of the development trends of the hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry abroad, the global output of "pure hydrogen" is 70 million tons per year, which is mainly used in chemical refining, synthetic ammonia and other fields, and the consumption in the transportation field is less than 0.
1%.
The hydrogen consumption of hydrogen-containing gas is 45 million tons per year, which is used in the fields of methanol synthesis and direct reduction iron.
Sources of hydrogen: 76% natural gas to produce hydrogen, 23% coal to produce hydrogen, 1% water electrolysis to produce hydrogen.
? my country has certain basic conditions for the development of hydrogen energy and fuel cells.
First, my country has a rich hydrogen energy foundation, and the development and utilization of hydrogen energy has great potential; hydrogen production technology can fully support my country's mid- and long-term hydrogen energy development vision; my country is the world's first hydrogen production country and the largest automobile market.
With the introduction of local policies, the rudimentary form of the regional backbone supply network has emerged.
? Peng Suping, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Fuel Cell Special Committee of the China Energy Research Society? However, the gap or bottleneck with foreign countries cannot be ignored.
The "stuck neck" technology is distributed in multiple links of the hydrogen energy industry, and it is urgent to break the foreign technology blockade.
"There are shortcomings in the core fuel cell technology and storage and transportation technology, and the related core equipment mainly depends on imports.
" Peng Suping pointed out, "After the development of hydrogen energy infrastructure, it includes hydrogen production facilities, hydrogen energy storage and transmission facilities, hydrogen refueling station layout and hydrogen Safety auxiliary facilities; hydrogen energy industry equipment manufacturing is relatively lagging behind, lacking a complete industrial technology system, and the gap with the United States, Europe, Japan, and South Korea has a tendency to widen; hydrogen storage, fuel cell key components, and monitoring and testing equipment have greater room to catch up.
In short, he believes that China's core technical capabilities, key equipment, standard systems, technical facilities, and talent team building in hydrogen energy urgently need to be strengthened.
? The ongoing hydrogen energy competition is strongly supported by the state and local governments, and investment in the hydrogen energy industry is booming.
According to incomplete statistics, since Wuhan issued the first "Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Plan" in 2018, more than 30 provincial and municipal hydrogen energy development plans have been issued, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Sichuan, Anhui, and Shandong.
Zhang Zhen, director of the Hydrogen Energy Committee of the China Electric Vehicles Association, said that my country's hydrogen energy development has experienced many rounds of ups and downs and has ushered in a turning point in commercialization.
my country is a major hydrogen producer, contributing 34% of the world's hydrogen production.
In terms of storage and transportation and hydrogen refueling stations, China's hydrogen energy is relatively mature in high-pressure gaseous vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage.
Hydrogen refueling stations exhibit agglomeration effects, mainly located in the Bohai Rim, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the central and western regions.
"From a global perspective, the markets in major countries and regions such as the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, and Europe have grown steadily in the past five years.
However, the industry itself or the analogy with electric vehicles has not met expectations, mainly due to the existence of the industry.
Bottlenecks, but only relying on subsidies cannot create an internationally renowned national car brand.
" Zhang Zhen pointed out to reporters.
? Li Xiangdong, the second-level inspector of the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the development status and future plans of Shandong's hydrogen energy industry.
"Shandong Province is The domain has achieved phased development.
At present, our province has built 7 hydrogen refueling stations, developed and applied 245 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and opened 10 bus routes, with a total operating mileage of more than 2 million kilometers.
According to reports, the next step in Shandong Province will focus on the development of the hydrogen energy industry in the following four areas.
First, focus on improving hydrogen production reserves and related technical capabilities; second, focus on improving fuel cell technological breakthroughs; third, focus on the development of infrastructure and The construction and development of equipment; the fourth is to focus on exploring the application of transportation ports and different scenarios.
? Li Xiangdong, the second-level inspector of the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology? The main part of the "Shandong Province Hydrogen Energy Industry Mid- and Long-term Development Plan (2020-2030)" The content includes development environment, overall requirements, spatial layout of development paths, key tasks, safeguard measures, environmental impact assessment, etc.
The highlights are: first, the development path of the hydrogen energy industry is clarified; second, the indicators for the development of the hydrogen energy industry are improved System; the third is the organic unity of guidance and operability; the fourth is the support for the first trial.
Taking Zibo as an example, Zibo relies on Qilu Petrochemical, Dongyue Group and other large enterprise groups, relying on the international leading ion membrane, proton membrane, ceramic membrane A number of key technologies such as hydrogen energy industry giant Air Chemical of the United States, Linde Group of Germany, Chinese Academy of Sciences and other enterprises and scientific research institutes to carry out hydrogen production, storage, transportation, processing and related equipment manufacturing, solid oxide fuel cell For the future development path of China’s hydrogen energy industry, Peng Suping believes that “we should actively plan in terms of strategy, policy, technology, capital, and international cooperation, and solve development problems through reform and innovation.
This includes releasing the vitality of the hydrogen energy development system, building a diversified hydrogen energy supply system, actively expanding the scale of hydrogen energy consumption, accelerating the research on core technology and equipment, coordinating the development of the entire industry chain, and expanding the international space for hydrogen energy development.
In the upcoming "14th Five-Year Plan", he believes that the following aspects should be focused on: First, strengthen top-level design, accelerate the deployment of the national hydrogen energy industry development strategy, pay attention to new growth points in hydrogen energy development, and plan for the national hydrogen energy industry in advance.
