The shipping industry is responsible for more than 80% of global trade transportation tasks, and its greenhouse gas emissions account for about 3% of global emissions. Ship emission reduction has become an important entry point for accelerating the green transformation of the shipping industry, and zero-emission hydrogen energy has become an important option for accelerating the decarbonization of the shipping industry.

In recent years, with the development of fuel cell technology and the improvement of hydrogen refueling facilities in my country, the characteristics of hydrogen-powered vehicles, such as fast refueling speed and suitability for long-distance heavy-load transportation, are becoming more prominent.

Recently, a hydrogen-powered logistics vehicle completed a 1,300-kilometer long-distance transportation mission from the Beijing Daxing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone to the Yangtze River Delta (Jiaxing) Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park. Earlier in April, a 49-ton hydrogen-powered heavy truck also completed a 1,500-kilometer long-distance transportation test from Beijing to Shanghai, proving that my country's hydrogen-powered vehicles have achieved large-scale, long-distance, and cross-regional actual transportation.

For a long time, in the competition with electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles have not been challengers, but rather market supplementers. Because in the passenger car market, which accounts for the majority of automobile sales, pure electric or hybrid models powered by lithium batteries are the absolute mainstream, fuel cell vehicles seem to have to find another way to break through in the commercial vehicle field.

So, will the car companies that have not given up the hydrogen energy technology route really abandon the large passenger car market? The situation is not so pessimistic. In the fuel cell passenger car market, in addition to Toyota and Hyundai, which launched mass-produced models in previous years and have a strong development momentum (well-received but not popular), giants such as BMW have also begun to try recently and released a hydrogen car mass production plan.

As the green hydrogen industry develops in the direction of large-scale and high-efficiency, the importance of hydrogen power supply as a key power conversion device in the electrolysis of water hydrogen production system is becoming increasingly prominent.

How should the green hydrogen project choose the hydrogen power supply? Industry insiders believe that this depends on the needs of the owner, including the project scale, initial investment, later operating costs, and the adaptability of different electrolyzers.

This year marks the third year of my country's hydrogen fuel cell demonstration development. On the one hand, fuel cell companies are busy exploring the terminal market and expanding their capital reserves. On the other hand, under environmental uncertainty and survival pressure, companies are still continuing to hone their product basics in response to market demand, and optimizing and iterating technology around reliability, stability, life, hydrogen consumption and other performance.

Hydrogen rail transit is a very promising application scenario for hydrogen fuel cells. As one of the earliest countries in the world to develop hydrogen rail trains, China has become the region with the largest hydrogen train market and the most demonstration projects in the world since the first hydrogen train was put into operation in 2019.

Since 2024, various parts of China have begun to accelerate the promotion of hydrogen rail transit related projects. Many hydrogen energy industry chain companies such as CRRC, Reshape Energy, and Rongxin Energy have begun to deeply explore the application opportunities of hydrogen rail transit, and have achieved many achievements such as zero breakthroughs in exports and the rollout of hydrogen rail trains equipped with four-type bottles. This article focuses on the dynamics of hydrogen rail vehicle related projects since the first half of the year.

Summer is hot, and it is also the season when electric bicycle fires are most likely to occur.

The Beijing Fire and Rescue Bureau recently reported that in July, there were 59 electric bicycle fires in Beijing.

Not long ago, we successfully delivered a hydrogen-electric drone for highway inspection to a customer. This hydrogen-electric drone is used during highway construction. It guides vehicles to avoid obstacles in advance through the mounted display screen. Compared with traditional construction reminder methods, drone aerial operations are more eye-catching and flexible. Hydrogen-electric drones have longer flight time than traditional drones and can cover a wider inspection area, effectively improving vehicle traffic efficiency during road construction.

On the evening of June 20, the "2024 Hydrogen Power Industry TOP100 Awards Ceremony" was grandly held, and hundreds of representatives from outstanding companies in the hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry chain witnessed the announcement of the selection event.
