Norwegian hydrogen refueling station explosion

On June 10, a hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen refueling station in Norway exploded. The hydrogen fuel cell industry and the new energy automobile industry are shaking.

Two days later, on June 12, Zhangjiakou City held a press conference in Beijing, released the “Hydrogen Energy Zhangjiakou Construction Plan (2019-2035)” (hereinafter referred to as “Construction Plan”), and held a series of signing ceremony to announce the march into the masses. Hydrogen fuel cell industry.

In addition to Zhangjiakou, in recent years, Shanghai, Suzhou, Guangdong, Wuhan, Chongqing and other regions have successively introduced policies to promote the industrialization of fuel cell vehicles; hydrogen industrial parks in various regions have emerged in an endless stream. According to rough statistics, there are no less than 40 regions in China that are committed to building hydrogen energy cities.

At this time, the explosion of the Norwegian hydrogen refueling station was uninterrupted So, what kind of place is suitable for the development of hydrogen energy industry?

1. The hydrogen energy industrial park is very dangerous to bloom everywhere.

Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the press conference of Zhangjiakou that he did not approve of the hydrogenation of the hydrogen energy industry park. "In the case of unsound standards such as standards, regulations and test evaluation systems, the hydrogen energy industry park is blooming everywhere, and it is very easy to have problems." Ouyang Minggao said, "We must pay attention to the sustainable development of hydrogen fuel cells, and we can't just start hot. It’s awkward. If you have problems, it will cool down immediately. We need to develop more rationally.”

However, at present, the problem first occurs abroad.

May 23, South Korea hydrogen tank explosion. Judging from the information disclosed so far, it should be an accident caused by operational errors in the process of performing the hydrogen electrolysis hydrogen test.

On June 1, a hydrogen distribution trailer in California, USA, exploded during filling. Subsequently, hydrogen transfer was suspended at the hydrogen refueling station in the area.

On June 10, a hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen refueling station in Norway exploded. The company has temporarily suspended its hydrogen fuel supply business in Norway, Denmark and other countries. Due to the hydrogen supply to the local Toyota, Hyundai has stopped the sale of hydrogen fuel vehicles, waiting for the investigation results of the cause of the accident.

There were 3 explosion accidents in just 20 days, and it was in developed countries with high technical level and relatively stable standard system, which sounded the alarm for the development of domestic hydrogen energy industry.

After the explosion of hydrogen tanks in South Korea, Li Guoxian, a professor at Korea University's School of Economics and Political Science, told an interview in an interview that the complexity and danger of hydrogen fuel is high, and not all institutions and enterprises can meet the research conditions. Under the background of government support, many companies have engaged in hydrogen fuel-related research, which not only cannot guarantee safety, but also excessively consume government subsidies.

Ouyang Minggao also believes that the threshold of hydrogen energy technology is much higher than that of pure electric vehicles, and it is not that any region or enterprise can develop casually. The development of fuel cells requires a realistic and pragmatic solution to relevant problems. It requires strong support from the government level and the implementation of testing systems, standards and regulations as soon as possible. "The development of the hydrogen energy industry is not simply a matter of investing in equipment and translating foreign materials. It is necessary to talk less and do more."

2. What are the location factors?

Since the development of the hydrogen energy industry is so difficult, what are the elements needed to build a qualified hydrogen energy industry park? In the view of Song Haiying, the general manager of Yihuatong Power, the first is to have government support, and the other is to have engine companies and vehicle companies to put their products to the market; but the most important thing is to have a cheap economic hydrogen source nearby.

First, the development of the hydrogen energy industry requires the support of the local government. This factor is actually available in many regions. At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places have issued relevant policies to support the development of hydrogen energy. Jiangsu, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shanxi and other places have established hydrogen energy industrial parks for development.

However, Song Haiying believes that only policy support is not enough, especially the need for real support from the district government. For example, she said that Yihuatong received real support from the Qiaodong District Government and the Xuanhua District Government during the landing of Zhangjiakou. "Our hydrogen plant is actually built in Xuanhua District, but the plan is in Qiaodong District. With all the formalities not very complete, the two district governments have followed the national standards, explored and innovated, and gave us great support."

Second, there are better engine companies and complete vehicle companies. This requirement is not difficult to satisfy. The region that is committed to the development of the hydrogen energy industry will naturally attract some fuel cell engine enterprises with certain research and development capabilities through investment attraction, and the regions with complete vehicle enterprises are numerous. However, this is not the most important factor in Song Haiying's opinion.

The hydrogen source of cheap economy is the only thing that can be met. Song Haiying believes that having an economic hydrogen source is a key factor in the sustainable development of the hydrogen energy industry. In addition to the price of the fuel cell vehicle itself, the price of hydrogen determines the user's acceptance of the fuel cell vehicle, so the economic hydrogen source is crucial for the city's ability to develop hydrogen. “Zhangjiakou is the only renewable energy demonstration zone in the country. It can use wind power and green clean energy to produce hydrogen. This is an advantage that other regions do not have.”

In addition, Ouyang Minggao believes that the development of fuel cell vehicles in the north is more suitable than in the south. In the north, the temperature in winter is low, and there is a short board in the development of lithium batteries in the north, and the competition pressure with pure electric vehicles is relatively small. The Winter Olympics provided an opportunity for the demonstration operation of fuel cell vehicles, which also made Zhangjiakou stand out.

Another advantage of Zhangjiakou is that it is close to Beijing and facilitates the integration of scientific and technological resources.

3. Development of hydrogen energy industry Zhangjiakou is very serious

Unlike other cities, Zhangjiakou has carried out very systematic planning and investment in the development of hydrogen energy.

In order to reduce the cost of hydrogen production, Zhangjiakou incorporates water electrolysis hydrogen into the “government + grid + power generation enterprise + user side” four-party cooperation mechanism, which can enjoy the electricity price of 0.36 yuan / kWh; second, the hydrogen production industry has begun to take shape. With the construction and production of hydrogen production enterprises such as Haipel and Hebei Jiantou, Zhangjiakou's ability to “reform electricity into hydrogen” has been greatly improved. Thirdly, the introduction of the Ouyang Minggao academician to set up a workstation, the Institute of Hydrogen and Renewable Energy officially entered. In the operation phase, the innovation system combining production, education and research has taken initial shape. Fourth, hydrogen storage and transportation and infrastructure networks are being built. At present, companies such as Guoneng Investment, China Energy Conservation, Yihuatong and Jinhong Holdings are actively deploying hydrogen energy systems. Storage, transportation, refueling and other projects; Fifth, the entire industrial chain of hydrogen energy is gradually formed; sixth, hydrogen energy application is in the forefront of the country, there are currently 74 fuel cell buses imported, and 100 new vehicles are purchased in 2019; Can build standard systems and testing platforms.

Zhangjiakou also has clear goals in the development of hydrogen energy. Guo Ying, member of the Standing Committee of Zhangjiakou Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor, said that the hydrogen energy industry should be built into a pillar industry of the city. By 2021, Zhangjiakou should develop into a first-class hydrogen energy city in China; by 2035, it will build an internationally renowned "hydrogen capital".

The goal needs to be implemented step by step. According to the "Building Plan", Zhangjiakou will be divided into three stages to promote the development of the hydrogen energy industry, and each stage has clear development goals. By 2025, the annual hydrogen production capacity will reach 21,000 tons, the output value of hydrogen energy and related industries will reach 26 billion yuan, and more than 20 enterprises will be introduced into the park. By 2030, the output value of hydrogen energy and related industries will reach 85 billion. Yuan; by 2035, Zhangjiakou's hydrogen production capacity will reach 50,000 tons, attracting more than 100 enterprises, the cumulative output value of hydrogen energy industry will reach 170 billion yuan, tax revenue will be 10.2 billion yuan; fuel cell bus ownership will reach 3,000 vehicles per year. It can save fuel consumption by 54,000 tons and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 166,000 tons.

At the same time, according to the "construction plan", Zhangjiakou City has also simultaneously formulated two supporting documents, "Three-Year Action Plan for Hydrogen Energy Zhangjiakou Construction (2019-2021)" and "Ten Measures for Supporting the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry in Zhangjiakou City", further fine In the past three years, Zhangjiakou hydrogen energy industry development goals, key tasks and implementation paths have been identified, and relevant content such as collaborative innovation platform construction, standards development and testing and certification services have been determined to ensure the healthy development of the hydrogen energy industry.

It can be seen that Zhangjiakou has worked hard to build a hydrogen energy industry. With all the development conditions in place, whether Zhangjiakou can become a world-class hydrogen energy city, let us wait and see. (Finish)
