Hydrogen fuel cell localization speed up the whole industry chain development encountered challenges

the development, production and refueling of hydrogen-rich materials and hydrogen production equipment, as well as the production of hydrogen fuel cell core components, powertrain and vehicle. In the future, the south China sea will be relying on the existing basis of the auto industry, focusing on technology innovation, application and development of new energy vehicles especially hydrogen fuel cell vehicles related project as the core, committed to become the vehicle and power battery, drive motor, electric control key parts such as all-round development of new energy vehicles and hydrogen industry base.

In recent years, some countries and major automobile enterprises have issued a timetable for stopping the sale of fuel oil automobiles, and new energy automobiles have become the main trend of future development. Compared with pure electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with higher efficiency and more energy saving and environmental protection are regarded as the future development direction of new energy vehicles by some countries and enterprises. Therefore, the localization of hydrogen fuel cell, which is known as "hydrogen core", is of more concern

On May 8, nanhai district government of foshan city, guangdong province and edelman hydrogen energy equipment co., LTD signed the project investment agreement. The signing of this agreement marks the official launch of edelman's hydrogen fuel cell production project in guangdong, which is an important step in the localization of hydrogen fuel cell production in foshan, and strongly promotes the development of hydrogen energy industry in guangdong. Foshan fuel cell and hydrogen energy industry innovation alliance was formally established on the same day.

Localization of hydrogen fuel cells is accelerated

According to the introduction, edelman hydrogen energy equipment company is a fuel cell manufacturer, through the introduction of German technology, to achieve full intellectual property rights, fully domestic, several technical indicators reached the international advanced level. On December 6 last year, edelman signed the project cooperation framework agreement with south China sea and reached the investment agreement of edelman guangdong hydrogen fuel cell production project.

The reporter understands, Mr Edelman guangdong hydrogen fuel cell production project is located in nanhai district danzao town, hydrogen fuel cell will be built and powertrain production base, plans to invest 3 billion yuan, annual production capacity of 80000 sets of hydrogen fuel cells, three phase, in which the first phase project will be put into production this year, all after the project, annual output value is expected to more than 20 billion yuan. This project is another important hydrogen industry project introduced by nanhai after guangdong changjiang automobile production and hydrogen power research and development center project.

"Hydrogen fuel cells are the heart of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the heart of the hydrogen energy industry. The completion of edelman's hydrogen fuel cell production project in guangdong province marks another great step forward in the localization of the core link of the hydrogen industry in nanhai district and strengthens its status as a pioneer in the promotion and application of the hydrogen industry in south China. Huang zhihao, member of the standing committee of foshan municipal committee and secretary of the south China sea district committee, said that the project will accelerate the improvement of foshan and nanhai new energy automobile industry and hydrogen industry chain, build a good pattern of hydrogen industry chain cooperation, and accelerate the industrialization application and promotion of hydrogen and fuel cell products in the market end.

Activities on the same day, Mr Edelman guangdong hydrogen energy equipment co., LTD, zhejiang university state key laboratory of fluid power and mechanical and electrical system, dongfeng (shiyan), steam passenger car co., LTD., nanhai district, foshan city, south China new energy automotive industry promotion center of 14 companies and institutions, such as representative and nanhai district government to launch a "foshan fuel cell and hydrogen energy industry innovation alliance".

Innovation alliance will vigorously introduce high-end talent, set up in nanhai district "academician workstation" and "postdoctoral workstation", promote the building of the south China sea fuel battery production base, and fuel cell as the core, Mr Edelman large data under the support of new logistics service platform, help logistics enterprise to optimize logistics service mode innovation. At the same time, in accordance with the central policy and the development strategy of foshan municipal government, the innovation alliance will set up foshan hydrogen energy industry development fund to fully support the development of foshan hydrogen energy industry.

The entire industrial chain is facing challenges

At present, hydrogen fuel cell technology innovation is becoming an important direction of the global energy technology revolution. In the field of vehicle energy, hydrogen fuel cell is considered as an important technical solution to achieve "zero emission" in the vehicle use stage and "low emission" in the whole life cycle, and it is the commanding point of the technology competition in the future automobile industry.

In 2016, the national development and reform commission and the energy administration jointly issued the action plan for energy technology revolution and innovation (2016-2030), which listed "hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology innovation" as one of the 15 specific tasks of the energy technology revolution, and the hydrogen energy industry was formally incorporated into China's national energy strategy.

"At present, many domestic manufacturers have begun to layout the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry, but the relevant industrial chain is still some way from mature, but has entered the industrialization 'test water' stage. Jing gong, CEO of edelman.

Edelman, as the only domestic manufacturer that has mastered the technology of mass production of hydrogen fuel cell metal bipolar electric reactor, also has its own troubles. "We currently mainly use imported materials because their technology is more mature, which also means higher costs." "As a product put into the market, the cost performance is very important, such as membrane, catalyst raw materials and hydrogen pump, humidifier supporting facilities manufacturing, we hope that the Chinese enterprise localization process a little faster, the cost can be reduced a little lower.

"Hydrogen energy vehicle industry is difficult to rely on a single enterprise to achieve long-term development, the need for battery - car - hydrogen station full chain development. Shanghai institute of new energy automotive engineering center of tongji university institute of composite fuel cell power Zhou Wei, says Dr Hydrogenation inadequate infrastructure is the major obstacles facing the current hydrogen industry development, the government needs to continue to increase support for construction of filling stations and the promotion, study and formulate the overall layout of filling station development, encourage national and social capital, in financing business of filling stations.

The legislation of hydrogen energy industry is also concerned by enterprises. "At this stage, the slow development of hydrogen industry has a lot to do with the fact that hydrogen is still used as a chemical product rather than an energy product." Zhang ruiming, general manager of guangdong telos automobile power system co., LTD., believes that the government should start from the perspective of industrialization and solve the related laws and regulations related to the whole hydrogen industry chain.

We continued to develop new industries

"The south China sea is home to many hydrogen energy companies and hydrogen refueling stations. The hardware environment is second to none in China and the development of hydrogen energy industry is at the forefront of the country. This is the most important reason why we choose to cooperate with the south China sea." Edelman chairman liming xu said.

As xu liming said, in recent years, the south China sea has raised the cultivation and development of hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology to the level of strategic emerging industries, and proposed in 2015 to build the south China sea into a leading domestic hydrogen fuel cell vehicle core parts r&d and production base.

Last year, the south China sea issued the province's first policy to support the development of the new energy vehicle industry, giving support to enterprises engaged in the new energy vehicle (including hydrogen) industry in the south China sea. In April this year, the nanhai district of foshan city issued the measures for promoting the construction and operation of hydrogen refueling stations and supporting the operation of hydrogen energy vehicles (interim), which is the most powerful measure for subsidizing the construction of hydrogen refueling stations in all regions of China.

In terms of platform building, nanhai has built several r&d platforms for hydrogen fuel cell industry, such as the national engineering center for fuel cell and hydrogen source technology, the south China center, and the national and local joint engineering research center for self-lubricating mobile power machinery technology. On April 1 this year, foshan green development and innovation research institute was officially inaugurated in the south China sea, focusing on the construction of five green development platforms including "new energy industry services", to promote the green transformation and upgrading of foshan and nanhai equipment manufacturing industry.

At the base construction level, in danzao town planning area of 8200 acres of new energy automobile industry base, continues the development of new energy vehicles and hydrogen industry, one of the basic construction period 900 mu has been finished, introduced the wide suitable new sources of energy, such as guangdong, robot -- enterprise, research and development production of new energy car key components, compressor, hydrogen circulation pump and hydrogen fuel cell power system assembly and other core components, the base has been the government of guangdong province as a strategic emerging industry of guangdong province regional agglomeration development testing, one of the provincial government in 2014 identified as the second batch of strategic emerging industry base in guangdong province. It is worth mentioning that the ruihui hydrogen refueling station located in the base has been officially put into operation on September 7, 2017, which is the first commercial approved and operated hydrogen refueling station in China and a pioneer of commercial hydrogen refueling stations in China.

At present, the hydrogen energy industry in the south China sea covers the development, production and refueling of hydrogen-rich materials and hydrogen production equipment, as well as the production of hydrogen fuel cell core components, powertrain and vehicle. In the future, the south China sea will be relying on the existing basis of the auto industry, focusing on technology innovation, application and development of new energy vehicles especially hydrogen fuel cell vehicles related project as the core, committed to become the vehicle and power battery, drive motor, electric control key parts such as all-round development of new energy vehicles and hydrogen industry base.
