Hydrogen station investment or up to 80 billion

At present, the state strongly supports the development of new energy vehicles, and the future of the new energy vehicle industry is not only pure electric vehicles, the development potential of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can not be underestimated. People often worry about its safety, but in fact, hydrogen can be safer than gasoline. The industry estimates that by 2030, domestic fuel cell car sales will reach more than one million a year.

When it comes to hydrogen, it always feels unsafe, flammable, and explosive in everyone's impression, so that people talk about "hydrogen" color changes. In fact, hydrogen is a relatively safe energy source.

At present, the state strongly supports the development of new energy vehicles. In addition to electrical energy, hydrogen energy is also one of the energy sources for the power input of new energy vehicles. However, in daily life, people are relatively familiar with electricity and relatively unfamiliar with hydrogen energy.

Hydrogen energy is an all-round energy source that provides electrical energy, heat energy, and transportation fuel. It has a great role in environmental protection and energy security. Moreover, as a clean, efficient, safe and sustainable new energy, hydrogen energy is regarded as the most clean energy with development potential in the 21st century and is the strategic energy development direction of mankind.

In recent years, the hydrogen energy industry has developed rapidly. Countries and regions represented by the United States, Europe and Japan have formulated long-term hydrogen energy development strategies from the perspective of sustainable development and security strategies.

Only 9 hydrogen refueling stations in China

According to incomplete statistics, there are 274 hydrogen stations operating in the world. Among them, 188 hydrogen refueling stations are open to the public, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of hydrogen refueling stations in the world. Unlike large-scale foreign stations, there are not many existing hydrogenation stations in China. According to statistics, there are only 9 hydrogen refueling stations built in China, which are located in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Dalian and Foshan. However, with the development of new energy vehicles in China, a number of companies have gradually emerged to invest in and operate hydrogen refueling stations.

As far as the entire hydrogen energy industry is concerned, there are few hydrogen refueling stations in the country before 2016. Fangpeijun, head of an energy technology company in Shanghai, told reporters that in the future, with the development of new energy vehicles, there is no hydrogen station, just as there is no gas station for fuel trucks, and cars that need to be hydrogenated can not run. Therefore, Is actively involved in the investment and operation of the hydrogen station.

Like gasoline, hydrogen itself has its own quality control to ensure the safety of hydrogen. Like gasoline, Fangpeijun says, hydrogen goes through a quality system. Just as important as the quality is the safety of hydrogen, make sure that all hydrogen is not leaked. Therefore, from the beginning of the design, construction and operation of the entire process of safety, the construction of a hydrogen station should consider a series of safety issues.

At present, China has been actively engaged in the research and development of hydrogen energy. Data show that China is the world's largest producer of hydrogen. In 2015, it already had more than 22 million tons of hydrogen, accounting for 34 % of the world's hydrogen production of 65 million tons.

Hydrogen is not dangerous.

Fangpeijun said that at present, the construction of the hydrogen station is no longer in the stage of demonstration and exploration, and has already entered the industrialization of hydrogen. If we want to realize the industrialization of hydrogen, capital is still the main problem facing the construction of the hydrogen station. In addition, the construction of the hydrogen station requires the approval of land. Therefore, the support and leadership of the state is very important for the development of hydrogen energy.

The hydrogen station, like the gas station, has its own technical specifications. Hydrogen accumulates at the top when it is filled, and hydrogen is relatively light. Therefore, hydrogen is considered to be a relatively dangerous thing.

Because people do not have a special understanding of hydrogen energy, they often talk about "hydrogen" color changes. Fangpeijun said that hydrogen is actually safe, but gasoline is more dangerous than hydrogen because if it leaks, it will cover an entire area and it will be very dangerous. The density of hydrogen is a quarter of that of air. If the leak will go up and be emitted directly into the air, there will be no risk of explosion as long as there is no roof that is easy to accumulate.

Because the product of hydrogen combustion is only water, it does not cause any pollution to the environment, and the calorific value is the highest of all common fuels. The amount of heat emitted per kilogram of hydrogen combustion is about 3 times that of gasoline, 3.9 times that of alcohol, and 4.5 times that of coke., so, Some industry experts say hydrogen is the best clean energy source.

At present, it is understood that Japanese auto companies have jointly invested in the construction of hydrogen refueling stations in Japan. Nissan, Toyota and Honda, the three biggest Japanese car giants, are working together to build a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle infrastructure -- the hydrogen station. And in the spring of 2018, 11 Japanese companies will set up a new company to carry out the strategic layout of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle(FCEV) hydrogen station throughout Japan.

In the future, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles in China, hydrogen energy as a key energy supply of new energy vehicles will become more and more important. According to estimates, the domestic fuel cell automotive industry will enter a stage of rapid development after 2025. By 2030, the annual sales volume of domestic fuel cell automobiles will reach more than one million, and the number of supporting hydrogenation stations will be more than 4,500, corresponding to the investment scale of hydrogen stations. 80 billion yuan, the scale of related equipment investment reached 50 billion yuan.

Professor Maozongqiang of Tsinghua University and vice chairman of the International Hydrogen Energy Association once said that although the development status quo of hydrogen refueling stations is relatively slow, the hydrogen energy automotive industry will achieve rapid development with the solution of key issues such as the right to approval for the construction of hydrogen refueling stations.
