Zhongxin Finance, March 23. On the 23rd, the official website of the National Development and Reform Commission published Ouyang Minggao, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a professor at Tsinghua University. Interpretation, Ouyang Minggao proposed that according to the product test data of major fuel cell manufacturers at home and abroad, it is expected that the cost of fuel cells will drop significantly and the performance will steadily improve in the next ten years.

  Ouyang Minggao believes that to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, we must promote the large-scale development of renewable energy.

The main carriers of renewable energy are electricity and hydrogen, which are complementary in terms of power and energy storage. As a carbon-free industrial raw material, hydrogen is irreplaceable.

  Efficiency issues can translate into cost issues as renewable energy capacity continues to expand.

In the Zhangjiakou Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone approved by the State Council, Ouyang Minggao's team tried to carry out the whole chain engineering verification from renewable energy hydrogen production to end application. When the price of renewable energy electricity is lower than 0.15 yuan/kWh, The economics of hydrogen production from renewable energy can be guaranteed.

Therefore, hydrogen production from renewable energy is an inevitable choice to adhere to the path of green and low-carbon development.

  The "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035)" proposes the development goal of "by 2025, the number of fuel cell vehicles will reach 50,000, and the hydrogen production from renewable energy will reach 100,000-200,000 tons", Ouyang Ming Gao said that, in terms of quantity, the amount of hydrogen produced by renewable energy can meet the use of fuel cell vehicles; in terms of quality, the purity of hydrogen produced by renewable electricity electrolysis of water is very high, which can meet the high requirements of fuel cells for hydrogen purity. Problems such as corrosion or poisoning of hydrogen refueling stations, hydrogen storage tanks and fuel cells can be completely avoided.

  He mentioned that the hydrogen energy technology chain is long and has many difficulties, and the existing technology and economy cannot fully meet the practical needs. It is urgent to make innovations and breakthroughs in major links such as hydrogen energy preparation, storage and transportation, filling, fuel cells, and hydrogen energy storage systems. , focusing on breaking through the "stuck neck" technology.

For example, the proton exchange membrane that seriously affects the life and cost of fuel cells; the high-strength carbon fiber and safety valve of the 70MPa high-pressure four-type bottle; the ion compressor of the hydrogen refueling station, the core components of the filling gun, etc.

  Compared with the process of pure electric vehicles in my country from inception to high-quality development, my country's fuel cell vehicle industry lags behind the pure electric vehicle industry by about 10 years.

According to Ouyang Minggao's judgment, according to the product test data of major fuel cell manufacturers at home and abroad, it is expected that the cost of fuel cells will drop significantly and the performance will improve steadily in the next ten years.
