Xinjiang issues three-year action plan for hydrogen energy industry to build a large-scale green hydrogen supply base

On August 30, the Development and Reform Commission of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region issued the " Three-year Action Plan for the Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry in the Autonomous Region", which proposed that, based on the resource endowment and industrial foundation, the layout of hydrogen energy industry should be coordinated around the orientation of the national "three bases and one channel" energy industry. To achieve full linkage in the two fields of hydrogen source development and hydrogen energy application, take the hydrogen energy industry demonstration zone as the starting point, carry out hydrogen energy technology innovation and industrial application demonstration in an orderly manner, develop the green hydrogen energy industry chain with high quality by building a strong chain extension chain, promote the West-to-East hydrogen transmission, and build a large-scale national green hydrogen supply and export base.

The Action Plan defines four key tasks, namely, orderly promotion of hydrogen energy infrastructure construction, promotion of diversified application of hydrogen energy, active development of hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing industry, and construction of high-quality development and innovation system of hydrogen energy industry. Strengthening overall coordination, establishing and improving the system, strengthening factor guarantee, strengthening the introduction of innovative talents, increasing fiscal and financial support, and strengthening safety risk management.

Next, the Development and Reform Commission of the Autonomous Region will strengthen overall coordination, gradually improve the policy and normative system in the field of hydrogen energy, promote the construction of a number of hydrogen energy industry demonstration zones and demonstration projects, and actively and orderly promote the development of hydrogen energy industry agglomeration.

2. Development path and industrial layout

give full play to the leading role of key enterprises and research institutes, pool superior resources, focus on hydrogen source development and hydrogen energy application, and coordinate the layout of hydrogen energy industry in the whole region. Give full play to the role of demonstration zones as a platform for attracting investment and developing the real economy, and create industrial clusters with division of labor, cooperation and high efficiency among various enterprises. We will build a demonstration zone for hydrogen energy innovation and development in Urumqi, and build a base for hydrogen energy industry innovation and development, equipment manufacturing, business exhibitions and commercial applications. In respect of hydrogen production, in areas where the chemical industry is concentrated, the Company will make full use of industrial by-product hydrogen resources, develop hydrogen purification technologies, improve the utilization rate of industrial by-product hydrogen, and promote the transformation, upgrading and green development of traditional industries such as coal and chemical industry. In areas with abundant wind and solar resources, the Company will actively promote hydrogen production by electrolyzing water with renewable energy and hydrogen energy storage, and gradually reduce the cost of hydrogen production. In terms of hydrogen storage, transportation and fueling, the Group will give priority to the nearby utilization of hydrogen, and explore and promote the construction and operation of an efficient and intelligent hydrogen transmission pipeline network. The Group will promote the layout and construction of hydrogen fueling stations in a reasonable and moderately advanced manner, and give priority to the key layout in cities with abundant hydrogen resources and mature application scenarios. In terms of application, demonstration of green hydrogen refining industry will be carried out to promote deep decarbonization in the industrial field. Explore seasonal energy storage and peak shaving of power grid, and gather to drive the development of green hydrogen industry in the middle and lower reaches. Promote the application of hydrogen vehicles in special operation vehicles, logistics, municipal transportation, tourism and other aspects.

On May 9, the Xinjiang Development and Reform Commission responded to the public solicitation of opinions:

First, it is suggested to increase the direction

of hydrogen energy application. It has increased the application directions of large-scale hydrogen power generation, wind and solar hydrogen production + data center green power supply, formic acid hydrogen production + fuel cell and so on.

2. It is suggested to optimize the approval process

of relevant projects: partially adopted. The plan has clearly put forward the need to optimize the process of pre-formalities involving forest and grass, safety assessment, energy assessment and environmental assessment, provide convenient services, and actively promote the landing of hydrogen energy industry projects.

III. Adoption of the proposal to postpone the promotion of the development

of the hydrogen energy industry: Not adopted. As the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, our region is a foreign trade hub connecting Central Asia and Europe. The reserves, output and development conditions of energy resources such as coal, oil and gas, wind and light are in the forefront of the country. The development of hydrogen energy industry has unique geographical and resource advantages. The government of the autonomous region has clearly proposed to promote the production, transportation, storage and use of green hydrogen (ammonia) in an integrated way, and to accelerate the application of green hydrogen in transportation, chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries. The development of hydrogen energy industry in our region insists on demonstration first, and promotes the development of industrial agglomeration through the construction of hydrogen energy industry demonstration zones. The layout of demonstration zones will fully consider the local industrial base and resource conditions, especially water resources conditions, to ensure the healthy development of hydrogen energy industry.

Thank the public for their strong support for the work of our committee.
