Experts hotly discuss hydrogen energy: increase technological innovation and gradually reduce the cost of hydrogen

Original title: Experts hotly discuss the development of the hydrogen energy industry: increase technological innovation and gradually reduce the cost of hydrogen

People's Daily Online, Beijing, April 24 (Reporter Du Yanfei) "Hydrogen energy plays an important role in achieving carbon peak and carbon neutral goals", "Accelerating breakthroughs in key materials and core technology and equipment for hydrogen energy", "Renewable energy hydrogen production costs" It is expected to achieve parity in 2030".

Recently, at the "14th Five-Year" Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Forum organized by the China Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance (hereinafter referred to as "China Hydrogen Energy Alliance"), the participants believed that as a zero-carbon energy, hydrogen energy It plays an important role in helping carbon peak and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.

The site of the "14th Five-Year" Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Forum.

Achieve carbon peak, carbon neutrality and hydrogen energy play an important role

In September 2020, my country announced that it will strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

"The proposal of the carbon peak and carbon neutral goals has clarified my country's vision and mission for responding to climate change and green and low-carbon development in the middle of this century.

Li Ye, Supervisory Director of the National Energy Administration, pointed out that in recent years, countries represented by Europe, Japan and South Korea have adopted hydrogen energy as an important part of the decarbonization energy system and a new engine for green economic recovery.

In Xu Guanhua’s view, as a strategic emerging industry, the development of hydrogen energy is a strategic and long-term issue.

Li Ye said that in recent years, the Bureau of Energy has attached importance to and actively promoted the development of hydrogen energy technology and industry, incorporated hydrogen energy into my country’s energy system and promoted it, introduced policies to guide hydrogen energy technology and equipment innovation, and listed hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology as one of the top ten.

　　“At present, all sectors of society have reached a preliminary consensus on accelerating the development of hydrogen energy technology and industry.

　　Increase technological innovation and gradually reduce the cost of hydrogen

　　"Although hydrogen energy has great potential in my country's energy transition, my country also has abundant hydrogen sources and a broad market, but there are still some problems in the development of my country's hydrogen energy industry.

　　Li Ye said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country will continue to improve the level of key technology and core equipment, combine the development of my country's hydrogen energy industry and key demonstrations, and accelerate breakthroughs around the industrial chain of hydrogen energy storage, transportation, refueling, and diversified applications.

　　Li Ye said that it is necessary to accurately grasp the strategic position of hydrogen energy in the energy revolution and give full play to the role of hydrogen energy in the construction of a clean, low-carbon and energy system; it is necessary to actively carry out international cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy and seize new opportunities for the world's energy revolution , To further strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in technology research and development, demonstration projects and industrial development, jointly promote the due role of hydrogen energy in the construction of a clean and low-carbon energy system, build a hydrogen energy innovation chain and industrial chain, and participate in international hydrogen energy standardization work.

　　It is worth noting that the "China Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry White Paper 2020" released at this forum believes that decarbonization is the first driving force for the development of this round of hydrogen energy industry, and the cost of hydrogen production from renewable energy is expected to be realized in 2030 At parity, under the scenario of carbon neutrality in 2060, the scale of hydrogen production from renewable energy is expected to reach 100 million tons, and it will account for 20% of the final energy consumption.

　　"Although the hydrogen energy industry is currently in the early stages of development in my country, the direction of hydrogen energy is undoubtedly determined.
