my country is in the "night before" of the scale of hydrogen energy industry: fuel cell vehicles are the most critical parts on the track

From EU car carbon emission control targets clearly, to China's "dual carbon target" proposal, globally, they are actively looking for a clean energy development strategy. In the automotive field that is closely related to energy development, the "great way" of electric vehicles seems to provide a "best solution". However, at the WNEVC 2022 World New Energy Vehicle Conference, a new sound is gradually incorporated into the mainstream: the landing of hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicles may be the real "success".

After the period of "applauding" in recent years, hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicles ushered in an unprecedented development boom. At the main forum of "Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Battery Automobile Commercialization", the secretary of the Party Group of the Chinese Association of Science and Technology, the vice chairman of the daily work, and the first secretary of the secretary, the Chinese Academy of Engineering Zhang Yuzhuo said: The period of historical opportunities, cultivating the hydrogen energy industry and promoting energy green and low -carbon transformation is our common vision goal. In order to reduce the cost of hydrogen supply with large -scale development, the use of diversified scenarios is the only way for the development of the hydrogen energy industry.

From this point of view, hydrogen energy may become the "end" of the development of new energy, and hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicles will also become the most convenient and environmentally friendly means, helping my country to truly achieve clean and green development vision.

A contest about "new energy" kicked off

In many people's consciousness, as soon as the word new energy appears, it will "automatically associate" electric vehicles, and the Ningde era has also become the "first chair" in the field of electric vehicle battery.

At this World New Energy Automobile Conference, Wu Kai, chief scientist in Ningde Times, also revealed that the Ningde Times planned to launch a new generation of battery battery cells in 2023: condensing state batteries. The combination of state batteries has the characteristics of high safety, high reliability, and good circulation life. Chairman Zeng Yuqun believes that in the field of electric vehicles that are currently in stable development, the innovation of power battery chemistry system, innovation of structure, and manufacturing innovation, plus the innovation of business models, and integration can promote the new energy vehicle industry develop. Not only that, in addition to the Kirin battery, Ningde Times is also being related to more new batteries, such as full solid -state batteries, semi -solid batteries, and even condensed state batteries that you have never heard.

Indeed, electric vehicles are products that have received the earliest attention and practiced under energy topics. The update and iteration of batteries have naturally become the top priority of people's attention. However, it is based on pure electric vehicles. In daily use, on the surface, it uses electricity as a driver energy. It seems very clean and environmentally friendly. However, with the deepening of green environmental protection goals and the advent of the recent energy crisis, whether the electric vehicle power generation is environmentally friendly, it is becoming more and more controversial.

Under such issues, hydrogen energy has received a lot of attention. The contest of hydrogen vehicles and electric vehicles has already begun.

Hydrogen energy may become the "end of the development of new energy

In the past few years when electric vehicles have gradually replaced traditional gasoline vehicles, hydrogen energy has also joined the "Energy Development" track. "my country has determined hydrogen energy as an important part of the future national energy system and energy use terminal to achieve an important carrier of green low -carbon transformation. The hydrogen energy industry has also become a key development direction of strategic emerging industries and future industries. The foundation of the industrialization was first, and it was on the eve of scale. "Zhang Yuzhuo said.

With the increase in climate change pressure and the acceleration of low -carbon transformation in energy, hydrogen energy has attracted worldwide attention with its advantages of cleaning, efficient and rich application scenarios. Hydrogen energy is a key energy source for carbon neutralization and strategy. At present, many countries have developed a roadmap for hydrogen energy development. my country has regarded the hydrogen energy industry as a strategic emerging industry, and has promulgated multiple support policies from various aspects such as encouraging innovation and investment, rewards and discounts. Local governments and enterprises at all levels have actively carried out industrial layout and project construction.

Although it cannot be said that hydrogen energy is an endless and inexhaustible source of energy, compared to fossil fuel and even electrical energy, the advantage is great. Therefore, many experts and scholars believe that in order to achieve the goal of carbon neutralization and carbon peaks in advance, hydrogen energy must be popularized.

Fuel cell vehicle is the best application terminal of hydrogen energy

Many benefits of hydrogen energy attract the attention of the public. However, doubts come immediately: how can it be applied to people's production and life?

This has to be mentioned that the downstream of the hydrogen energy industry chain, that is, a comprehensive application of hydrogenation and hydrogen, involves the construction of hydrogen refueling stations and the application of transportation, industry, and construction. At present, domestic and foreign enterprises have carried out technological research and industrial development, with fierce competition, and large future demand. It is necessary to support the development of power devices such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Among them, fuel cell vehicles are known as the best application terminals for hydrogen energy. The development of the industry can leverage my country's trillion -level hydrogen energy market. As the first echelon of the international hydrogen fuel cell industry, China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry has achieved leapfrog development in recent years. At present, the integration technology of hydrogen fuel cell system in my country is relatively mature, but there is still a certain gap from the international advanced level.

The soul of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is the fuel cell, which is equivalent to a small generator. The hydrogen and oxygen carried by the vehicle rely on chemical reactions to generate electricity to promote motor. The basic principle is the reverse reaction of electrolyte water. After the anode and cathode are provided by the hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen is reacted through the anode outward spread and electrolyte, and the electrons are released to the cathode through the external load. Although Chinese is called "fuel cell", it is not mixed with hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen storage tanks are stored in hydrogen, fuel cell power generation, motor drive wheels. This is the basic model of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Of course, many hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are now provided with high -voltage lithium batteries. Its mode is similar to the existing hybrid or additional range electric vehicles to cope with certain special use scenarios and improve vehicle performance.

For example, at this year's World New Energy Vehicle Conference "Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Battery Automobile Commercialization" main forum, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle from Hyundai Motor Group was officially unveiled, providing excellent cases for this topic.

At the scene, Hyundai Automobile Group shared the advanced experience of the hydrogen energy industrialization in the related fields of the Chinese hydrogen energy industry, the government and other related fields, and demonstrated the "all -round hydrogen energy solution" of Hyundai Automobile Group. The hydrogen fuel cell system (vehicle) has been awarded the title of "Top Ten Engines of Ward", which has the characteristics of modularity, simplification, and lightweight. After certification of professional testing agencies, the power generation efficiency can reach more than 62%.

In order to further promote the development of China's hydrogen energy industry, Hyundai Automobile Group Construction Group's first overseas hydrogen fuel cell system production and sales base, "HTWO Guangzhou" in early 2021, has begun trial operation. It is planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of this year. It covers an area of ​​202,000 square meters and includes a comprehensive base, including the production plant, R & D center and innovation center of the hydrogen fuel cell system. After production, it will provide the world's leading hydrogen fuel cells in various fields such as cars, ships, rail transits, and power generation. system.

The state -owned enterprises and private enterprises will work together to talk about the development prospects of "hydrogen fuel cell vehicles"

The corporate philosophy, solutions, and products from all over the world have also appeared on the spot. According to Zhang Guoqiang, Chairman of Yitong, during the Winter Olympics, more than 700 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were equipped with the engine produced by Yihuatong to achieve more than 2,200 tons of carbon reduction. solution.

"The development of hydrogen energy can not only meet the requirements of energy, environment and sustainable development, but also drive a new round of economic growth, which is the only way to achieve energy transformation and decarburization goals worldwide." Zhang Guoqiang said. In recent years, driven by industry policies and fuel cell vehicles demonstration urban agglomerations, the fuel cell vehicle industry has entered a fast track. Thanks to the support and guidance of the country, at present, my country has initially mastered the core technologies of the fuel cell industry chain and hydrogen energy infrastructure, and realized the application capabilities of thousands of power systems and vehicles.

"Of course, this does not mean that the development of fuel cell vehicles can be achieved overnight. It is affected by factors such as costs, technology, scenes, infrastructure, etc. The road of fuel cell vehicle business promotion is far away. In the future, traditional fuel and hydrogen fuels It will be complementary to the electricity for a long time to support the development of the automotive industry. "Xie Jiaping, executive vice president of Haizhuo Technology, said that the policy vane is an important factor in the booming development of the new energy industry. Forcing fuel cell vehicles to have the advantages of long -range oil vehicle battery life, convenient energy supply, and strong power.

Xie Jialing believes that in order to achieve mature commercialization in the fuel cell vehicle industry, multi -party co -efforts are required: from the perspective of the product, it is necessary to continuously optimize and improve in terms of stable reliability, economy, lightweight of vehicles, and use space; The angle of hydrogenation needs to be fully resolved; especially important, in the early stage of demonstration promotion, the appropriate application scenarios need to be found.

However, in the future, with the scale of the application of fuel cell vehicles, the advancement of technology and the healthy development of the entire industrial chain, the process of commercialization will be continuously promoted. He said that a heavy truck with large loading, long battery life, and high -efficiency demand faces the pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction. It is a breakthrough in the commercial application of hydrogen fuel cells. In addition, commercialization applications that are driving in fixed lines and concentrated vehicles are feasible. Strong. The company has currently deployed hydrogen -making -related businesses, providing electrolyte standardized products and providing integrated solutions for hydrogen and hydrogenation. Help solve the shortcomings of the industrial chain and accelerate the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.

The breakthrough of the commercial application of hydrogen fuel cells is imminent. In the field of electric vehicles driven by batteries, Weiyue Technology has demonstrated its strong professional knowledge in its electrical drive system. As the leading international supplier, Weiyou Technology has the most advanced driving technology and extensive electrification solutions. It is now using this type of technology to use heavy trucks and non -road vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cell systems.

Weiyi Technology has previously announced cooperation with a German fuel cell manufacturer to develop a new fuel cell control unit for it as the central control unit of the fuel cell system. The fuel cell control unit is expected to be mass -produced after 2025. "The agility and flexibility of our development of this fuel cell control unit is a prerequisite for our success in this diverse market environment. Professional knowledge enables us to invest in research and development and mass production at the same speed and quality standards. "Andreas Wolf, chief executive officer of Weiyi Technology. The hydrogen energy industry has the addition of private enterprises into the fast lane, and with the release of long -term planning in the development of the hydrogen energy industry, hydrogen energy has risen to the national energy strategic position. Hydrogen -making, hydrogen storage, hydrogenation, hydrogen use and other industrial chains, and achieved a number of technological research and development and demonstration applications. Southern Power Grid Corporation is the representative.

As early as 2020, Southern Power Grid Corporation established the first research center of hydrogen energy -hydrogen energy research center, which is mainly responsible for the development of key technology research and development of the hydrogen energy industry, promoting the establishment of a high -level joint laboratory, reserving independent intellectual property rights, and building promotion Construction of demonstration projects that run through the entire industrial chain of hydrogen energy, establish and improve supporting systems such as network evaluation, technical standards, and operation and maintenance systems of hydrogen energy equipment, and to incubate hydrogen energy industry -related products. The Hydrogen Energy Research Center will accelerate the operation of various businesses, and achieve results in the aspects of the research and development of the core technology of hydrogen energy core technology, the construction of demonstration projects, and the amendment of the standard system.

Meng Zhenping, chairman of the Southern Power Grid Corporation and party secretary of the party group, pointed out that "the explosive growth of electric vehicles is profoundly affecting the energy development pattern." Meng Zhenping pointed out that the reality of large -scale access to electric vehicles and the vision of cleaning electricity to promote energy power to promote energy and electricity The industry further accelerates the construction of a new type of power system. Southern Power Grid Company is willing to accompany domestic and foreign, continue to deepen cooperation, work together, and jointly promote the better and faster development of the electric vehicle and energy industry, contribute to the achievement of carbon peaks, carbon neutrality, and targets, to comprehensively build socialism in the construction of socialism in an all -round way Modern countries have contributed.
