On the afternoon of March 15, the State Council Information Office held a briefing to interpret the 83 revisions of the "Government Work Report".
Major policies, hotspots for people's livelihood, and key words hotly discussed by representatives and committee members at the meeting were all left in the "final version" report, which was passed with overwhelming votes.
One of them is quite eye-catching - "promoting the construction of charging, hydrogen refueling and other facilities". This is also the first time that hydrogen energy has been written into the "Government Work Report".
In fact, Zhuzhou has initially formed a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry chain. For Zhuzhou, this modification can be said to "confirm the eyes".

On the afternoon of March 15, in the laboratory of Hunan Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy") located in the China Power Valley Independent Innovation Park, the company's chairman Wang Zituan sat in a very cool beach four. wheel motocross. Started off on fire, and with the soft roar of the engine, the motorcycle jumped out coolly.
What most people don't know is that the power of this motorcycle has been modified with a hydrogen fuel cell stack independently developed by Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy, and a small hydrogen storage tank is installed at the rear of the motorcycle.
He got off the motorcycle and went back to the office. The State Council Information Office was broadcasting a briefing on TV, explaining the 83 revisions of the "Government Work Report". One of the revisions excited many people in Zhuzhou, including Wang Zituan, who are struggling in the field of hydrogen energy utilization - "promoting the construction of facilities such as charging and hydrogen refueling".
Fuel cell vehicles are one of the main forms of current hydrogen energy applications. At present, Zhuzhou has initially formed a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry chain. From hydrogen fuel cells, vehicle production, hydrogen refueling stations, to hydrogen production and hydrogen supply, each chain has a layout, and some cutting-edge scientific research results are about to be transformed into products.
Can Zhuzhou's initially formed hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry take advantage of the fact that the industry content is included in the "Government Work Report" to win at the starting line and achieve a new leap?
The production and utilization of hydrogen energy in Zhuzhou can be traced back to 50 years ago
Hydrogen energy has the advantages of high efficiency, abundant sources and wide range of uses. It can fill the battery with fuel within 3 minutes to 5 minutes. Compared with traditional power vehicles and pure electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have more sustainable power, higher energy efficiency, stronger endurance and zero carbon emissions, and are considered by many to be the "ultimate new energy vehicle solution".
At present, my country has given strong support at the policy level, and hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology have been included in one of the 15 key areas of the "Energy Technology Revolution Innovation Action Plan (2016-2030)". Last year, Premier Li Keqiang also went to Toyota, Japan to inspect hydrogen-fueled vehicles, "encouraging" my country's hydrogen energy industry. During this year's National People's Congress, hydrogen energy has become a hot topic among representatives and committee members. Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "From a technical point of view, vehicle fuel cell technology will gradually mature in about five years."
Zhang Yong, deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, introduced that the production and utilization of hydrogen energy in Zhuzhou can be traced back to 50 years ago when the Zhuzhou Chemical Plant produced chlor-alkali by-product hydrogen and the 601 Plant electrolyzed water to produce hydrogen. In particular, the Zhuzhou Chemical Plant has two production scales of 1<del_span id="R_span_7"class="_span_ex_rv22">20,000 tons/year of caustic soda. Calculated based on the by-product of 270 cubic meters of hydrogen per ton of caustic soda, the annual by-product hydrogen is 64.8 million cubic meters; after more than 50 years of development, Zhuhua Group has created a professional technical team for hydrogen production, equipment management, system operation and design for the development of the hydrogen energy industry.
It is reported that the entire hydrogen energy industry chain consists of various links such as hydrogen preparation, hydrogen storage, transportation and filling, and hydrogen application. According to the location of the industry chain, the enterprises in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry chain can be roughly divided into three parts: the upstream, which mainly includes the production and transportation of hydrogen resources; the midstream, which is the fuel cell system, mainly the stack and Hydrogen storage equipment and accessories; downstream, is the application sector, including hydrogen refueling stations, new energy vehicle applications, etc.
Among them, Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy, which focuses on hydrogen fuel cell stack research, is in the middle of the hydrogen energy industry chain.
The battery stack produced in Zhuzhou has been sent to Germany for testing

On March 15, in the laboratory of Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy, technicians were conducting stack assembly tests. "We have accumulated technology for many years, and now we have entered the trial production stage. We will strive to have samples loaded and put into mass production next year." Wang Zituan carefully checked the test data and instructed the technicians to do a comparative analysis.
A hydrogen fuel cell refers to a device in which hydrogen is chemically reacted with oxygen to generate electricity. The driving force of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle comes from the electric motor on the vehicle, so the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle can be understood as an "electric vehicle with its own hydrogen fuel generator". The battery stack is the engine of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
In recent years, hydrogen fuel cells have been successively applied in Europe, America, Japan and other places, and the response has been good. At present, domestic hydrogen fuel cells are mostly produced and developed by foreign companies or Sino-foreign joint ventures. Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy is expected to fill this gap in domestic enterprises.
"Our membrane electrodes and metal bipolar plates have completely independent intellectual property rights." Wang Zituan said that Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Tsinghua University, relying on the scientific and technological achievements of the hydrogen fuel research and development team of Tsinghua University, combined with Central South University, Xiangtan The university's basic materials research team has conquered the key technology of fuel cells. It is expected to become the first domestic manufacturer of metal bipolar plate fuel cell stacks with independent intellectual property rights and product performance that meets the DOE recommended standards.
Mao Zongqiang, the core member of the project team and the responsible professor of the Institute of Nuclear Energy and New Energy Technology of Tsinghua University, is the chief scientist of my country's first national "973" hydrogen energy project. Most of the team members are the National Fuel Cell Standardization Technical Committee and the National Hydrogen Energy Member of the Standardization Technical Committee, "strong".
Huang Sihong, general manager of the company, said that the highest power of the battery stack developed by the company has reached 54 kilowatts, and it has been sent to top German institutions for testing. At present, the research and development of the 80-kilowatt power stack is being carried out, "strive to complete the product research and development of vehicle hydrogen fuel cell stack module, complete production process development, production line design and other tasks within one year, and build a complete set of vehicle fuel cell module production line. , and strive to achieve product commercialization as soon as possible.”
Zhuzhou lays out the whole industry chain of hydrogen fuel cells
To take the lead in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry, Zhuzhou already has the layout of the whole industry chain.
In the China Power Valley Independent Innovation Park, Hunan Xingzhiju Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd., which is next to the Zhenbang Hydrogen Energy Office, is a representative enterprise on the other link of the Zhuzhou hydrogen energy industry chain. This enterprise is the only enterprise in the province engaged in the research and development of full-function hydrogen refueling stations.
Among the three principals of the company, one participated in the R&D and construction of the first hydrogen refueling station in the United States, one operated the first commercial hydrogen refueling station project in the United States, and the other also has a doctorate degree in environmental engineering and new energy, with similar resumes. Rich. At present, the hydrogen refueling success rate of domestic hydrogen refueling stations is only 60% to 70%, while the success rate of hydrogen refueling stations of Xingzhi Energy has reached 95%, and it can participate in the bidding of the California commercial hydrogen refueling station project.
Hunan CRRC Times Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. is also "charging with the ball". The new generation of SiC high-power fuel cell DC/DC converters it is developing, if successful, will lead the industry at the forefront.
As one of the important components of the electric vehicle drive system, the fuel cell DC/DC converter is responsible for changing the non-adjustable DC power supply into an adjustable DC power supply. The control ability of its parameters is related to the power performance and energy of the entire fuel cell. Utilize efficiency and reliable operation of other control systems. According to the relevant person in charge of the company, the new generation of SiC high-power fuel cell DC/DC under development is the latest technological achievement in this product field, which can enhance the reliability of the converter and further improve the working efficiency of the power system.
At present, the company is also exploring the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and has successfully developed a new generation of 12-meter hydrogen fuel cell buses with intelligent assisted driving functions. Two units have been delivered, and road tests have been carried out in Laiwu, Shandong and Jiaxing, Zhejiang respectively. , the feedback is good.
In addition, Zhuzhou's hydrogen energy industry chain also has many shining and powerful enterprises. For example, Zhuzhou Zhengtuobiao Hydrogen Gas Co., Ltd. is the only third-party hydrogen supply enterprise in the province whose main business is the production of hydrogen. The designed production capacity of the natural gas hydrogen production unit is 1700Nm3/h, replacing China Minmetals Zhuzhou Cemented Carbide Group The original electrolysis water hydrogen production device. Zhuzhou Hualong Special Gas Co., Ltd. is preparing to build a high-pressure hydrogen project for the "Zhuhard" Precision Tool Industrial Park project and hydrogen fuel cell-related hydrogen energy projects. The carbon fiber high-pressure gas storage tank project of Times New Materials & NPROXX Company has entered the actual cooperation stage.
"The domestic first-class hydrogen fuel cell enterprise Dewei Mingxing hydrogen fuel cell technology project has been determined to settle in the China Power Valley Independent Innovation Park, and the enterprise registration has been completed, with a total investment of 3 billion yuan." Zhang Yong said that from the hydrogen fuel cell , vehicles, hydrogen refueling stations, and then to hydrogen production and hydrogen supply, the hydrogen energy industry chain in Zhuzhou has been initially formed.
Attention 1:
Why develop the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry?
In the field of new energy, relying on the extension of the rail transit equipment industry chain and the competitiveness of the aviation power industry chain and the automobile industry chain, Zhuzhou has developed and expanded two industrial clusters, the new energy wind power equipment industry and the new energy electric vehicle industry. ·China Power Valley has realized the upgrading of Zhuzhou's industrial chain and value chain.
Why should the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry be deployed? In December last year, the "Zhuzhou Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Plan (2019~2025)" jointly formulated by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the School of Urban and Environment of Hunan University of Technology gave a clear answer. "Seizing hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology, the major strategic direction of the world's energy transformation and power transformation, and cultivating and expanding the hydrogen energy industry to become a pillar industry is a realistic decision to build a major strategy for Zhuzhou··China Power Valley."
Why do you say this? It is stated in the plan that hydrogen energy and fuel cells are the key areas of innovation in my country's energy technology revolution, and fuel cells are widely used in new energy vehicles, rail transit, aviation, drones, ships, submarines and other transportation fields. Compared with the pure electric vehicle route, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with higher efficiency, more energy saving and environmental protection are widely regarded as the ultimate goal of the development of new energy vehicles. Therefore, the development of hydrogen energy and fuel cells is a realistic decision to promote the upgrading of the power industry.
Attention 2:
What are the advantages of Zhuzhou to take the lead in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry?
Zhang Yong believes that, first of all, Zhuzhou has a complete industrial chain. Among them, Zhuzhou has advantages in the most critical "three electric" equipment (ie motor, electronic control, battery) in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry. Especially with the advantages of rail transit industry, Zhuzhou has high-speed rail technology and equipment in motor and electronic control, which is a world-class level. The largest short-board battery before, is currently "accelerating to make up with the enhancement of Zhenbang's hydrogen energy research and development capabilities and the recently introduced Dewei Mingxing hydrogen fuel cell technology project."
At the same time, there is a huge back-end market for Zhuzhou. "Within a 40-kilometer radius of Zhuzhou, there are 14 OEMs with a scale of 3 million vehicles." Zhang Yong said that many companies invest in Zhuzhou because of this advantage of Zhuzhou. The market is close together, and the development is more advantageous.”

【Reporter's Notes】
Government and enterprise work together to win at the starting line
According to the report on the future development of hydrogen energy released by the International Hydrogen Energy Commission, by 2050, the hydrogen energy industry will create 30 million jobs worldwide, reduce 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide, and create a market value of 2.5 trillion US dollars. 20%-25% of the world's vehicles. This time, the "hydrogenation facility construction" supplemented by the "Government Work Report" can be said to directly help hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
At present, the development of the domestic hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry is surging, and many places have issued industrial development plans to rush this "future industry". For example, Foshan, Guangdong, has proposed that in the future, Foshan will deploy a "one main and four auxiliary" hydrogen energy industry base, and has proposed a goal of 100 billion yuan in cumulative output value of hydrogen energy and related industries in 2030. Our city is not reluctant to settle down. While actively deploying the entire industrial chain, it also timely issued a practical and future-oriented industrial development plan. It is proposed that by 2025, our city will form a pillar industry of hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and build a hydrogen refueling station. 12, and the industrial output value of the entire industry chain has reached 80 billion yuan.
But that's not enough. For the development of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry in Zhuzhou, there are still many shortcomings, and there are many shortcomings that need to be filled. For enterprises, it is even more necessary to work hard, practice internal skills, and master core technologies; for the government, it should play the role of a waiter, implement the industrial development plan, and do a good job in policy support and basic support. Helping the industry to successfully take the lead and win at the starting line.
