Hydrogen fuel cells and storage and transportation

Hydrogen fuel cells and storage and transportation

Hydrogen transportation and hydrogen power generation are the two major application areas of hydrogen fuel cells. In transportation, due to the high energy efficiency and zero emission characteristics of fuel cells, it is considered to be an ideal choice to replace traditional internal combustion engines, and fuel cell vehicles have entered commercial application. In terms of power supply, fuel cells can be used as part of a distributed energy system to provide power supply for buildings, communities or cities, achieving efficient use of energy and reducing dependence on traditional power grids. The large-scale consumption of hydrogen energy in terminal application scenarios such as transportation and power generation is the key to driving the development of China's entire hydrogen energy industry chain.

The hydrogen energy industry chain is complex, generally, it includes three parts: hydrogen production, hydrogen storage and transportation, and hydrogen refueling and application. Among them, hydrogen storage and transportation, as a bridge connecting the upstream and downstream links of the hydrogen energy industry, has become one of the main issues restricting the development of the hydrogen energy industry.

Hydrogen refueling stations are an important guarantee for the application of hydrogen energy in transportation and a key infrastructure for the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The number and popularity of hydrogen refueling stations determine the commercialization process of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. China has currently explored a variety of station construction forms, including pure hydrogen external supply stations, integrated production and refueling stations, skid-mounted stations, integrated energy stations, etc. The overall station construction trend is also gradually developing towards high refueling capacity and high refueling pressure.
