【Industry】 Encourage Oil-Hydrogen Integrated Stations! Interim Measures for the Management of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations in Guangzhou" was considered and adopted

On May 6, the 8th executive meeting of the 16th municipal government considered and adopted the Interim Measures for the Management of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations in Guangzhou. The Measures state that various departments of the municipal and district governments will increase their encouragement and support policies for the hydrogen refuelling stations built and put into use, and promote the sustainable, healthy and stable development of hydrogen refuelling stations by means of supporting funds, financial loans and land policy support. After the acceptance of the hydrogen refuelling station construction project, the urban management departments of each district will issue a Gas Operation Permit to the operator of the hydrogen refuelling station in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, and operate within the scope stipulated in the permit matters; the market supervision departments will issue a Gas Cylinder Filling Permit in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.

The hydrogen refuelling station referred to in the Measures refers to the special place and special facilities for filling hydrogen fuel for the hydrogen storage cylinders (tanks) of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles or hydrogen natural gas hybrid fuel vehicles, including integrated hydrogen refuelling stations, fixed hydrogen refuelling stations and skid-mounted hydrogen refuelling stations. The Measures state that, subject to the relevant standards and safety conditions, enterprises are encouraged to speed up the construction of hydrogen refuelling stations, and Guangzhou encourages enterprises to promote the construction of integrated energy stations that combine oil, hydrogen and gas with vehicle refuelling stations or gas filling stations. The planning of hydrogen refuelling stations is based on the principle of moderate advancement.
