China national energy storage solid state hydrogen storage

What is a solid-state hydrogen storage project?

A solid-state hydrogen storage project, a key national research and development project in China, was put into operation.

Can solid-state hydrogen be used for electricity generation?

China Southern Power Grid has started using solid hydrogen for electricity generation in two power stations in Kunming and Guangzhou, China. “This is the first time that my country has used photovoltaic power generation to produce solid-state hydrogen energy and successfully applied it to the power system,” said the Chinese state-owned utility.

Can solid-state hydrogen storage solve the problem of flexible conversion?

[Photo/sasac.gov.cn] Wang Chengshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that solid-state hydrogen storage solves the problem of flexible conversion between green power and green hydrogen, adding that it is expected to become a key driving force supporting evolution of power systems in the future.

Who makes hydrogen storage cylinders for refueling stations?

In terms of hydrogen storage cylinder groups for refueling stations, domestic hydrogen storage containers have been basically localized, and the mainstream suppliers include CIMC Enric, Zhejiang Bluesky, and China National Building Material Technology Corporation.

How many hydrogen refueling stations are there in China?

As China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation and China National Petroleum Corporation, as representatives of large state-owned energy enterprises, increase their layout of the hydrogen energy industry, as of the end of 2022, China has built 274 hydrogen refueling stations.

Why is hydrogen storage and transportation important?

Among them, the cost of the storage and transportation link exceeds 30%, making it a crucial factor for the efficient and extensive application of hydrogen energy . Therefore, the development of safe and economical hydrogen storage and transportation technology is an important prerequisite for the widespread use of hydrogen energy.
