China Hydrogen Energy Alliance | Pioneering the Future with Hydrogen – Exploring Pathways for High-Quality Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry

On October 8, 2022, a new episode of Xinhuanet’s “Dual-Carbon Vision” went live. This episode, initiated by the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance, focuses on the topic of “Hydrogen Fuels the Future—Exploring Paths for High-Quality Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry.” Together, the program explores the significant role of hydrogen energy in building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system, achieving the goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, as well as the current development status and future trends of the hydrogen energy industry.

Gan Yong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that developing the hydrogen energy industry is of great significance for achieving the “dual carbon” goals. Fully leveraging hydrogen’s clean and low-carbon characteristics can drive the low-carbon transformation of end-use sectors such as transportation and industry, as well as high-energy-consuming and high-emission industries. As hydrogen energy rises to become a national energy strategy, establishing a low-cost green hydrogen system and ensuring its seamless integration with application sectors represent significant challenges for the development of hydrogen energy.

Liu Xiaoqi, Party Secretary and Chairman of Guohua Investment (Hydrogen Energy Company) under the State Energy Group, believes that we should leverage the “wind-solar-hydrogen-storage integration” model to synergize various new energy sources and use funds to bridge the gap between investment in the clean energy industry and hydrogen-energy equipment. Looking ahead, Guohua Investment will focus on building a “key technology R&D platform,” establishing a nationwide green hydrogen supply chain network, and creating an efficient capital-matching platform. Together with small and medium-sized enterprises as well as specialized, sophisticated, and innovative companies, we will join forces to tackle key challenges and accelerate the development of hydrogen energy.

Liu Wei, a member of the Party Committee, Deputy General Manager of Guohua Investment (Hydrogen Energy Company) under the State Energy Group, and Secretary-General of the China Hydrogen Energy Alliance, stated that the China Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance—jointly initiated by the State Energy Group together with 19 central enterprises, universities, and research institutes—was established with the original intention of promoting the high-quality development of the entire hydrogen energy industry through innovative approaches. Over the past five years since its establishment, the Alliance has steadily advanced the hydrogen energy industry each year by achieving “one innovation” and “one first.” (Source: Xinhua Net)
