The hydrogen energy industry is once again on the "outlet". Following Shanghai's announcement on August 26 that it will explore the establishment of a hydrogen trading platform, on August 27, the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center was officially listed in Weifang, Shandong, and 200 commercial vehicles equipped with Weichai hydrogen fuel cells were put into operation at the same time. This means that China has made another breakthrough in the construction of fuel cell technology innovation platform and large-scale demonstration application of hydrogen energy.
It is reported that as an important node on the "Lu Hydrogen Economic Belt", Weifang City has initially formed a hydrogen energy industry chain with Weichai as the leader, large and small enterprises cooperating, production, storage, transportation, addition and use go hand in hand, and the development of hydrogen fuel cell research and development and manufacturing applications has unveiled the appearance of "hydrogen energy city".
Tan Xuguang, chairman of Shandong Heavy Industry Group and Weichai Group, said that Weichai Power will rely on the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center to seize the major opportunities of the "Hydrogen into Ten Thousand Homes" science and technology demonstration project, gather domestic and foreign industry-university-research innovation resources, accelerate technological breakthroughs in the whole industry chain of fuel cells, further enhance key core technology indicators, and create a "hydrogen energy society" model that can be promoted and copied.
The blueprint of "hydrogen energy city" has landed
What should a "hydrogen city" look like? According to reports, since 2010, Weichai Power has invested 4 billion yuan in the layout of new energy business, taking the lead in transforming the results of industrial layout and multi-application scenarios in Weifang City, Shandong Province, and accelerating the landing of the "Hydrogen Energy City" blueprint.
On August 27, at Weichai Power, the reporter saw some commercial vehicles equipped with Weichai hydrogen fuel cells that will be delivered for operation, including city buses, light trucks, and heavy truck tractors. In particular, the latest hydrogen fuel cell bus produced by Yaxing Bus on display on the spot not only has a stylish appearance, but also represents the advanced level of hydrogen fuel cell application in urban bus scenes.
"This car is equipped with a fuel cell system produced by Weichai, which has a service life of more than 30,000 hours and can meet the use of buses for 8 years and 600,000 kilometers." Pan Yongchang, chief fuel cell division of Weichai Power Yangzhou Yaxing Bus Co., Ltd., told the Securities Daily reporter.
It is understood that from the first batch release of hydrogen fuel cell buses in 2019 to the new batch of vehicles put into operation, there are currently 18 hydrogen fuel bus operation lines in Weifang, and Weifang City has also become the most densely populated area of hydrogen fuel bus lines in the world, as well as the city with the most hydrogen fuel buses in the world.
Weichai Power not only leads in the promotion and demonstration of hydrogen energy buses, but also actively lays out a full range of commercial vehicle hydrogen power, and launches a series of mature and tested commercial products in the market segments such as traction in hydrogen energy heavy truck ports, hydrogen energy heavy truck trunk line transportation, hydrogen energy light truck urban logistics and cold chain transportation.
Zhang Chao, deputy general manager of Weichai New Energy Technology Company, said in an interview with the Securities Daily reporter that in terms of trunk line transportation of hydrogen energy heavy trucks, taking the application scenario of containers from Zibo to Qingdao Port as an example, the hydrogen energy heavy truck uses Weichai's 200kW high-power fuel cell, which is also the most mature high-power product in China, with an average monthly mileage of more than 12,000 kilometers, and its hydrogen consumption of 100 kilometers is only 8 kilograms.
Accelerate technological breakthroughs in the whole industry chain
The accelerated breakthrough of hydrogen energy application scenarios benefits from the official listing of the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center.
On April 16, 2021, the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center was officially inaugurated in Jinan and entered the trial operation stage. Subsequently, Shandong Guochuang |
