China's Advancements in Green Hydrogen Production and Deployment
Key Ideas
- Sungrow Hydrogen initiates production at China's largest dual-tech green hydrogen project, utilizing PEM and alkaline electrolyzers for enhanced efficiency and energy savings.
- HNO International partners with Zhuhai Topower to introduce its modular hydrogen platform in China, aiming to establish multiple low-cost production and refueling sites in the region.
- UK government permits hydrogen-fueled construction and agricultural machinery on public roads, expanding the legal use of hydrogen-powered vehicles in the country.
- Elcogen collaborates with Casale to explore green ammonia and Power-to-X projects, aiming to integrate solid oxide electrolysis technology into various applications worldwide.
Sungrow Hydrogen has launched production at China's pioneering green hydrogen project, boasting a 200 Nm³/h PEM electrolyzer and 1,000 Nm³/h alkaline electrolyzers, a merger that is acclaimed as the largest undertaking of its kind globally. The combination of alkaline electrolyzers' cost-effectiveness with the rapid response of PEM electrolyzers is anticipated to elevate efficiency while reducing energy consumption. The project, situated in Daye, Hubei province, is employing AI technologies to optimize renewable energy synchronization and real-time safety protocols. Additionally, Sungrow Hydrogen has introduced an innovative underground hydrogen storage concept that repurposes defunct mines into green hydrogen storage facilities.
On another front, HNO International has disclosed a strategic partnership with Zhuhai Topower New Energy in China to introduce its Scalable Hydrogen Energy Platform (Shep). The collaboration seeks to leverage HNO's Shep technology to facilitate the establishment of numerous economical modular hydrogen production and refueling locations within the province. Meanwhile, in the UK, the government has enacted a statutory instrument permitting hydrogen-driven construction and agricultural machinery to operate on public roadways, broadening the spectrum of hydrogen-powered vehicles already authorized for use on UK highways.
Furthermore, Elcogen has formalized a non-exclusive memorandum of understanding with privately held Swiss entity Casale to collaborate on green ammonia and other Power-to-X (P2X) schemes. This partnership aims to explore joint commercial projects that integrate Elcogen's solid oxide electrolysis stack and stack module technology into Casale's facilities and potentially other P2X applications across the globe. Elcogen is optimistic about the solid oxide technology's progression towards cost competitiveness with PEM and alkaline systems, highlighting its potential for widespread adoption in the future.
