【Policy】"Yichang Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Plan" released to lead Yichang into "Central Hydrogen Valley

Recently, the Office of the People's Government of Yichang City issued the "Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry in Yichang City (2023-2035)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The Plan is an important measure to implement the national energy development strategy and accelerate the construction of a clean energy capital, and it is of great significance to promote the rapid development of the hydrogen energy industry in Yichang.

The Plan proposes that by 2025, Yichang's production capacity of high-purity hydrogen for vehicles will reach 3,000 tons per year, a number of hydrogen transmission pipelines and five hydrogen refuelling stations will be built, such as Yidu Chemical Park and Intrigue Chemical Park, the ownership of various types of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will reach 200, two hydrogen energy vessels will be built, and four hydrogen energy port demonstration projects will be constructed; by 2035, Yichang will be built into a nationally influential By 2035, Yichang will be built into a "Central Hydrogen Valley" with national influence.

【Policy】Local Policy | "Shanxi Province Hydrogen Energy Industry Chain 2023 Action Plan" released

On April 21, the Development and Reform Commission of Shanxi Province, together with the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, released the Action Plan for the Hydrogen Energy Industry Chain in Shanxi Province in 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).

The Action Plan proposes that the system and policy environment for the development of hydrogen energy industry should be continuously improved, the technological innovation level of hydrogen energy industry should be enhanced, the construction of hydrogen energy infrastructure should be strengthened, the collaboration and support of the industry chain should be enhanced, and the quality of the hydrogen energy industry chain should be further upgraded; the focus should be on promoting the construction of a hydrogen energy innovation platform, carrying out research and development of key core hydrogen energy technologies, establishing a diversified hydrogen energy supply system, promoting the construction of hydrogen refuelling stations, orderly carrying out the hydrogen energy industry The nine work tasks are: supporting the development of hydrogen energy industry integration clusters, encouraging provincial state-owned enterprises to actively layout hydrogen energy industry, carrying out investment promotion in hydrogen energy industry chain, and strengthening exchange and cooperation in hydrogen energy industry.

【News】Total investment of 5 billion yuan! The demonstration project of green hydrogen-based chemical base in Bahrainzuoqi signed!

Ltd. signed a green hydrogen-based chemical base demonstration project with the People's Government of Balinzuo Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Northeast Electric Power Design Institute Co.

【Policy】 100,000 tons/year of green hydrogen! 1,500 hydrogen vehicles! Three-year action plan for the development of hydrogen energy industry in Xinjiang invites opinions

On April 24, the Development and Reform Commission of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region publicly solicited opinions on the Three-Year Action Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry in the Autonomous Region (2023-2025), which states that by 2025, a more complete institutional policy environment for the development of hydrogen energy industry will be formed. The initial construction of a hydrogen energy supply system based on industrial by-product hydrogen and renewable energy hydrogen production for use in the vicinity, and the promotion of the establishment of a supply chain and industrial system integrating green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, refuelling and use. A number of hydrogen energy industry demonstration zones will be built, the amount of hydrogen produced from renewable energy will reach 100,000 tons/year, and more than 1,500 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be promoted. Moderately over-deploy and build a number of hydrogen refuelling stations. Actively strive to be included in the national hydrogen fuel cell vehicle demonstration city cluster. With the green hydrogen industry as the main focus, promote the energy structure to achieve clean, low-carbon and green transformation, and provide a solid guarantee to promote high-quality development in all aspects.

【International】Total investment of over 1 billion RMB! French Air Liquide to build hydrogen supply base in Tianjin

Recently, Air Liquide's hydrogen energy supply base in Tianjin, a key foreign investment project of the Ministry of Commerce, was officially registered and launched in the Lingang area of Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone. The project is invested by Air Liquide (China) Investment Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Air Liquide China") and will significantly enhance the hydrogen supply capacity in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei region and help Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei achieve the goal of "double carbon" after the project is put into operation. This is the latest result of the Binhai New Area delegation's economic and trade promotion activities in France, showing the accelerated economic and trade cooperation between China and France and the confidence of French enterprises in the development opportunities of the Chinese market.

It is understood that the total investment of the Tianjin hydrogen energy supply base project is expected to exceed RMB 1 billion and will be built in two phases, with one set of hydrogen purification unit, one set of hydrogen pressurization and filling unit and supporting public engineering facilities planned for the first phase, which is expected to be put into operation in the second half of 2024; the second phase of the project will build a new hydrogen liquefaction unit at the right time according to the development of the hydrogen energy market, with an expected annual output of about 10,000 tons of high purity hydrogen.

【International】Europe's largest carbon market reform bill in history passed!
