China's first hydrogen refueling station opened in Wuhan is expected to be put into use in November

The car does not add gasoline but adds liquid hydrogen. Soon, this scene will become a reality in Wuhan.

On June 11, in the Wuhan Component Development Zone (Hannan District) Auto Parts Industrial Park, the first fixed hydrogen refueling station in Hubei broke ground. It is expected to be completed and operated in November this year, becoming the largest hydrogenation in the country for daily reserves and daily hydrogenation. station.

The hydrogen refueling station is designed to supply 1,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day and has a reserve capacity of 1,000 kilograms. The hydrogen refueling station uses a filling pressure of 35 MPa and reserves the expansion space with a pressure of 70 MPa and a daily filling capacity of 700 kg of hydrogen.

"This is a historic moment." Zhang Huanong, chairman of Xiongyi Group, one of the investors, said that with the hydrogen refueling station, hydrogen vehicles can truly land. This company specializes in hydrogen fuel cells, lead-acid batteries, and lithium batteries. Next, the company will operate 300 hydrogen-powered vehicles in Wuhan, including buses, logistics vehicles, etc. There will also be many hydrogen-powered vehicles in the community. He introduced that about 1000 kilograms of liquid hydrogen can supply about two or three hundred hydrogen buses or seven or eight hundred cars. "A car, plus one kilogram of hydrogen, can run 100 kilometers."

"When the operating cost of hydrogen is reduced to 50 yuan/kg, it is the same as the cost of gasoline." Zhang Huanong said that Wuhan hydrogen resources are very rich, WISCO, Gehua and other enterprises have a large amount of hydrogen production, Gehua The amount of one day can reach 10,000 kilograms and can be supplied to the car at a lower cost. According to the plan of the investor, in 2018, Wuhan will build 2 to 3 hydrogen refueling stations and 20 will be built by 2020.

"Hydrogen energy is regarded as the next generation of energy. At present, Wuhan hydrogen energy development has been at the forefront of the country." Zhang Huanong said that last year, Xiongyu Group invested 115 yuan to build a hydrogen energy industrial park in Wuhan Development Zone. This year, the 30,000 square meters transitional plant will be put into operation and will produce 10,000 hydrogen batteries. It is expected that by 2025, Xiongyi will unite with all sectors of society to build 3 to 5 international leading hydrogen energy enterprises in Wuhan and build 30 to 100 hydrogen refueling stations to realize passenger cars, buses, logistics vehicles, and other special vehicles. A total of 1 to 30,000 vehicles in operation.

The relevant person in charge of Wuhan Development Zone introduced that at present, Wuhan Development Zone has introduced Xiongyu Power Supply, Zhongyu Power, National Hydrogen Energy, and other hydrogen energy enterprises, and is striving to build a “hydrogen energy capital” to help Wuhan build a world-class hydrogen energy city.

The construction of domestic hydrogen refueling stations is “windy and turbulent”

Hydrogen energy is recognized as a clean energy source in the world, and all countries in the world are actively deploying hydrogen energy industry development strategies.

In recent years, China has also continued to increase its policy guidance and support for the development of the hydrogen energy industry. It has clearly stated in the policy documents such as the “13th Five-Year Plan”, “National Innovation-Driven Development Strategy Outline” and other With fuel cells as a strategic mission, emerging industries will focus on vigorous development in the future.

In the process of hydrogen industry development, the construction of infrastructure hydrogen refueling stations plays a very important role, restricting and influencing the development of hydrogen energy industry and economic construction. At present, there are only 8 hydrogen refueling stations in operation in China, such as: Jiangsu Rugao, Foshan Danzao, Yunfu, Dalian Xinyuan, Shenzhen Universiade, Shanghai Anting, Beijing Yongfeng, Zhengzhou Yutong, etc.

At present, the construction of hydrogen refueling stations is surging. There are no less than 10 hydrogen refueling stations in the country, which are in the construction stage, including Luoding hydrogen refueling station, Anhui tomorrow hydrogen refueling station, Yunfu refueling hydrogenation station and so on.

"The construction of hydrogen refueling stations can attract hydrogen energy vehicles and hydrogen energy industry. For example, there are 500 hydrogen-powered vehicles in operation in Shanghai, because there is a hydrogen refueling station." Zhang Huanong, chairman of Xiongyi Group, said.

It is reported that the first hydrogen refueling station in Wuhan took only two or three months from signing to construction. "Because it is the first time, there are no ready-made standards and processes, it is very difficult, all the processes are groping from the beginning, but the first time you do it, the copy will be very fast in the future." Zhang Huanong said.
