On September 8, the China Electric Power Enterprise Federation published an article announcing the successful holding of the inaugural meeting of the Hydrogen Energy Branch of the China Electric Power Enterprise Federation and the Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Exchange in Beijing on September 7.
In order to promote the coordinated development of hydrogen energy and power system and jointly build a new energy system, ITU decided to set up a hydrogen energy branch to build a communication platform for industry enterprises, pool industry resources and strength, and promote the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry. In his speech,
Yang Kun pointed out that with the deepening of the energy revolution and energy transformation, China's hydrogen energy industry has entered a period of rapid development. Hydrogen energy has the advantages of large-scale and long-term storage, and can also stabilize the intermittence and volatility of new energy generation through the integrated development of "wind and solar hydrogen storage", effectively promote the large-scale consumption of new energy and the smooth operation of the power grid, realize the complementarity of hydrogen and electricity, and maximize the synergistic effect of the two. He emphasized that the Hydrogen Branch, as a professional branch established by China Electricity Union, should first strengthen political leadership and promote the development of hydrogen energy from the perspective of ensuring national energy security and boosting the construction of new power systems; second, strengthen innovation support, focus on the hydrogen energy industry chain, actively help tackle key technical problems, and vigorously promote the industrialization and demonstration application of innovative achievements; Third, we should strengthen service quality, actively offer advice and suggestions, and serve as a good adviser and assistant for government decision-making. Fourth, we should strengthen professional competence and enhance service capabilities to meet the needs of industry development. Fifth, we should strengthen cross-domain cooperation, coordinate with relevant industry forces, give full play to complementary advantages, promote resource sharing, and deepen win-win cooperation. Sixth, we should strengthen the standardized operation, establish and improve the working mechanism in accordance with the unified requirements of the ITU, and carry out work in accordance with the law and regulations. In her speech,
Liu Yafang said that with the accelerated evolution of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and with the consensus of all countries in the world to actively respond to climate change, hydrogen energy has gradually become a new focus of global strategic competition, an important direction for countries in the world to cultivate emerging industries, and an important starting point for promoting green and low-carbon transformation of energy production and consumption. She pointed out that in recent years, the State Energy Administration, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant departments, has actively promoted the development of hydrogen energy industry by strengthening top-level design, promoting key technical equipment tackling key problems, and exploring multi-scenario and efficient utilization. She sincerely hoped that the ITU Hydrogen Energy Branch would give full play to the role of technology platform and bridge, further condense the ideological consensus of the vast number of workers in the field of hydrogen energy, and make greater contributions to promoting the high-quality development of hydrogen energy in China and the realization of the goal of "double carbon". Hao Yingjie, member of the Party Committee and Secretary-General of
China Telecom Union, read out the relevant documents on the establishment of the Hydrogen Energy Branch. Yang Kun, Liu Yafang, Wei Suo, Vice President of China Association for the Promotion of Industrial Development, Zhang Hong, Secretary of Discipline Committee and Deputy Secretary-General of China Coal Industry Association, and Li Qi, Vice President of China Machinery Industry Federation jointly unveiled the Hydrogen Energy Branch of China Electricity Union.
