At present, the hydrogen industry in the South China Sea covers the development of hydrogen-rich materials and hydrogen-making equipment, hydrogen production, hydrogenation to the core components of hydrogen fuel cells, power assembly and vehicle production. In the future, relying on the existing automobile industry foundation, focusing on technological innovation, promotion and application, South China Sea will focus on developing new energy vehicles, especially hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and strive to become a new energy vehicle and hydrogen energy industry base for all-round development of key components such as vehicle and power batteries, drive motors, electronic control, etc. Ground.

In recent years, some countries and major automotive enterprises have issued a timetable for the suspension of fuel vehicles, and new energy vehicles have become the main trend of future development. Compared with pure electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with higher efficiency, more energy saving and environmental protection are considered as the development direction of new energy vehicles in the future by some countries and enterprises. Therefore, the localization of hydrogen fuel cells with "hydrogen core" is more concerned.
On May 8, the Nanhai District Government of Foshan City, Guangdong Province and Edman Hydrogen Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. formally signed the project investment agreement. The signing of the agreement marks the formal start of Edman's Guangdong hydrogen fuel cell production project, which is an important step to realize the localization of hydrogen fuel cell production in Foshan City, and strongly promotes the development of Guangdong hydrogen energy industry. Foshan fuel cell and hydrogen energy industry innovation alliance was also formally established on the same day.
Upgrading of hydrogen fuel cell domestically
It is reported that Edelman Hydrogen Energy Equipment Company is a fuel cell manufacturer. By introducing German technology, it has achieved complete independent intellectual property rights and complete localization. Several technical indicators have reached the international advanced level. On December 6, last year, Edman signed a project cooperation framework agreement with South China Sea, and reached an investment agreement for Edman Guangdong hydrogen fuel cell production project.
Reporters learned that Edman Guangdong Hydrogen Fuel Cell Production Project is located in Danzao Town, South China Sea. It will build a hydrogen fuel cell and power assembly production base. It plans to invest 3 billion yuan and produce 80,000 sets of hydrogen fuel cells annually. It will be promoted in three phases. The first phase of the project will be put into operation this year. After the whole project reaches production, the annual output value is expected to be 20 billion yuan. 0 billion yuan or more. This project is another heavy project of hydrogen energy industry introduced by South China Sea after the project of Guangdong Yangtze Auto Production and Hydrogen Power Research and Development Center.
Hydrogen fuel cell is the heart of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, and also the core of hydrogen energy industry. The landing of Edman's Guangdong Hydrogen Fuel Cell Projects marks a great step forward in the localization of the core links of the hydrogen industry in the South China Sea and consolidates the position of the South China Sea as a pioneer in the promotion and application of the hydrogen industry in South China. Huang Zhihao, Standing Committee of Foshan Municipal Committee and Secretary of Nanhai District Committee, said that the project will accelerate the improvement of new energy automobile industry and hydrogen industry chain in Foshan and Nanhai District, build a good pattern of cooperation in hydrogen industry chain, and accelerate the industrialization application and promotion of hydrogen energy and fuel cell products in the market.
On the day of the event, representatives of 14 enterprises and institutions, including Edman Guangdong Hydrogen Energy Equipment Company, State Key Laboratory of Hydrodynamic and Mechanical Systems of Zhejiang University, Dongfeng Special Automobile (Shiyan) Bus Co., Ltd. and South China New Energy Automobile Industry Promotion Center of Nanhai District of Foshan City, jointly initiated the establishment of Foshan Burning Company with the Nanhai District Government. Material battery and hydrogen energy industry innovation alliance ".
It is reported that the Innovation Alliance will vigorously introduce high-end talents, establish "academician workstation" and "post-doctoral workstation" in the South China Sea, vigorously promote the construction of fuel cell production base in the South China Sea, and build a new logistics service platform supported by Edelman Big Data to help logistics enterprises optimize innovations. Streaming service mode. At the same time, according to the central policy and the development strategy of Foshan Municipal Government, the Innovation Alliance will set up Foshan Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Fund to fully support the development of Foshan Hydrogen Energy Industry.
The development of the whole industry chain is facing challenges.
At present, the technological innovation of hydrogen fuel cell is becoming an important direction of global energy technology revolution. In the field of vehicle energy, hydrogen fuel cell is considered as an important technological scheme to achieve zero emission in vehicle use stage and low emission in whole life cycle, and it is the commanding point of technological competition in future automobile industry.
In 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Energy Bureau jointly issued the Action Plan for Energy Technology Revolution and Innovation (2016-2030). The "hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology innovation" was listed as one of the 15 specific tasks of the key innovation actions of the energy technology revolution. The hydrogen energy industry was formally incorporated into China's national energy strategy.
"At present, many domestic manufacturers have begun to lay out the hydrogen fuel cell automobile industry, but the relevant industrial chain is still a long way from maturity, but has entered the stage of industrialization'test water'. Gong Jing, executive director of the company, said.
As the only manufacturer in China who has mastered the technology of metal bipolar plate stack for hydrogen-producing fuel cells, Edelman has his own troubles. "At present, we mainly use imported materials, because their technology is more mature, which also means higher costs." Gong Jing believes that "as a product put into the market, cost performance ratio is very important, such as membrane, catalyst, raw materials and hydrogen pump, humidifier supporting facilities manufacturing, we hope that the process of localization of Chinese enterprises faster, the cost can be reduced a little lower".
"Hydrogen energy automobile industry is hard to rely on a single enterprise to fight alone.
