Industrial "test water" hydrogen fuel cell vehicle heading for where

Since this year, some countries and major automobile enterprises have issued a schedule of stopping the sale of fuel vehicles, and new energy vehicles have become the main trend of future development. Relative to the pure electric vehicle line, a more efficient, more energy saving and environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is considered by some countries and enterprises to be a direction for the development of new energy vehicles in the future.

Recently, in the first China (Foshan) International hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology and product promotion conference held in Foshan, Guangdong, 10 new technologies of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and many industries were attracted, attracting many investors' attention. Hydrogen fuel cell technology innovation speed has exceeded market expectations, before the breakthrough of pure electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can realize "overtaking catch up from behind,"? The Economic Daily reporter has conducted an investigation and interview on the related enterprises.

Effective complementation with pure electric vehicles

Fuel cell technology and pure electric are two technical directions, and to a certain extent, they play a complementary role. However, the innovation of hydrogen fuel cell technology is becoming an important direction of the global energy technology revolution.

"You are the third guests to visit today." Since the first commercial operation of hydrogen refueling station - Foshan greatson hydrogen refueling station in Foshan in September, the South China Sea Danzao Town is completed, the hydrogen station stationmaster Li Can achievements become very busy, people come to visit in a continuous line. The hydrogenation station is put into operation, which also means that China's hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have taken a solid step on the road to industrialization.

It seemed that the hydrogenation station was not so different from the usual gas stations. The reporter approached the observation and found that the hydrogenation station had no odor and was clean and clean. The whole hydrogenation station is divided into 3 parts: the filling area, the hydrogen storage area and the pressurized area from the front to the rear. The pipeline is connected by 3 high pressure pipes with high and low pressure between the filling area and the hydrogen storage area. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can be filled with only 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the hydrogenation of the hydrogenation unit in the injection zone.

Compared to pure electric vehicles, the Volkswagen still knows little about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The International Energy Agency (IEA) released the "hydrogen and fuel cell technology roadmap" shows that the hydrogen fuel cell is the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen through electrochemical reaction directly into electrical energy generating device, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is still essentially electric vehicles, hydrogen storage in high pressure tank car in the fuel cell hydrogen into electricity to power the car.

In Foshan City, reporters take the hydrogen fuel cell bus and found, compared with the same fuel vehicles, the vehicle power is sufficient, no obvious noise; compared with the pure electric car, the car has a fuel car exhaust and similar tube, but is ejected from the addition of zero pollution of heat, water only water, this water can even reach the drinking standard. In addition, hydrogen is easier to store and transport than electric energy, and the filling efficiency is similar to that of traditional gasoline vehicle. The mileage of single fuel filling is significantly greater than that of pure electric vehicle.

At present, hydrogen fuel cell technology innovation has become an important direction of the global energy technology revolution, in the car with the field of energy, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are considered to achieve "zero emissions" stage of life cycle, "low emission" important technical solutions, is the high ground of the future automobile industry technology competition. More and more car companies have joined the R & D of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, including TOYOTA, Honda, Hyundai and so on. The hydrogen fuel cell cars produced by these car companies have been mass-produced and put into many markets of the world.

"Fuel cell and electric vehicle technology two kinds of path does not exist who is good and bad, the fuel cell technology and pure electric two technical direction, will coexist for a long period of time, whether it is the use of user experience, or supporting infrastructure, will form a complementary situation." Guangdong Taylor Adams power Hitachi Automotive Systems Ltd general manager Zhang Ruiming think.

The international Hydrogen Energy Commission and McKinsey released the world's first hydrogen energy development trend survey report, by 2030, the world needs to provide 10 million to 15 million fuel cell passenger cars and 500 thousand fuel cell trucks to run the hydrogen used. This is no doubt a huge market.

Entering the stage of industrialization "test water"

High technical threshold, high initial investment and high research and development cost are the difficulties in developing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Therefore, there is still a lot of space to improve in policy support and technical tackling.

Since the "fifteen" since China's 4 consecutive five year plan to start the special science and technology research and development of new energy vehicles, to co-ordinate the deployment of a pure electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicle power battery, motor, electric control system and the core technology of "three vertical and three horizontal" development layout, which, for continuous hydrogen and fuel cell to carry out a large number of scientific research and industrialization demonstration application.

Under the help of policy, China's hydrogen fuel cell automobile industry has made obvious progress. In the first session of Chinese (Foshan) International hydrogen fuel cell technology and product promotion conference, reporters saw several hydrogen fuel cell vehicles exhibitors, including small passenger cars, buses, small and medium-sized commercial vehicles, trams etc.; at the same time, the upstream manufacturers also brought a lot of new products.

"This is a professional exhibition of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that show the largest number of vehicles and the most complete vehicles in China." The national energy secretaries Wang Geng said.
