2023 China (Luoyang) Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Development Conference

On June 17, the 2023 China (Luoyang) Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Development Conference was held, with the theme of "Hydrogen City Chain, Ecological Co-construction", focusing on new technologies, new products and new models of hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry under the dual-carbon strategy, and discussing the coordinated development of the industry. Under the guidance of Luoyang Municipal People's Government, the conference was sponsored by Luoyang Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Jianxi District People's Government and Zhongguancun Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Industry Alliance, and hosted by Hydrogen (Henan) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and Luoyang New Energy Vehicle and Energy Storage Industry Association. In his speech, Xu Yixian, deputy secretary and mayor of

Luoyang Municipal Party Committee, introduced that in the new stage of development, Luoyang focused on "building a strong sub-center, forming a growth pole and revitalizing new brilliance", insisted on innovation-led development, vigorously implemented the "136" work measures of industrial development, successfully introduced a large number of landmark projects, and the economic development was stable and good. Luoyang City seizes the great opportunities of national fuel cell vehicle demonstration and application city group, Zhengbianluopu hydrogen corridor, Zhengbianluopu hydrogen channel, seizes the new track of hydrogen energy and fuel cell, introduces and cultivates a number of key hydrogen energy enterprises, which are in the key areas of hydrogen energy supply, fuel cell, core components, storage and transportation equipment and vehicle production. Effectively drive the development of the whole industrial chain of hydrogen energy "production-storage-transport-use". This conference brings together authoritative experts and leaders in the field of hydrogen energy and fuel cells at home and abroad. I hope you can make a comprehensive inquiry for the development of Luoyang's hydrogen energy industry and come up with more "tricks", and hope that more people of insight will invest in Luoyang. Luoyang will take this opportunity to thoroughly implement the "double carbon" strategy, accelerate the green low-carbon transformation, continue to promote demonstration applications, and strive to make Luoyang's "hydrogen" contribution to the province's energy transformation and high-quality development of equipment manufacturing. Sun Yongmin, deputy director of the

Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said that Luoyang is a sub-central city of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration, with strong industrial foundation, complete industrial categories and broad market space, and has a foundation for the development of hydrogen energy industry. Luoyang is also a national fuel cell vehicle demonstration and application urban agglomeration and a dual-node city of the "Zhengbian Luopu" hydrogen corridor, and has the opportunity to develop hydrogen energy industry. In recent years, remarkable achievements have been made in the key work of industrial investment and project construction around the core components such as fuel cell system, stack, hydrogen storage and transportation equipment, which has played an active role in improving the hydrogen energy industry chain in the province and promoting the cooperation between upstream and downstream industries. Next, Luoyang should continue to adhere to the path of "innovation-led, industrial upgrading, safety-first, demonstration-driven", rely on key leading enterprises, carry out innovation-driven development strategy in depth, increase scientific and technological research on core technology and equipment, introduce and cultivate simultaneously to enhance industrial competitive advantages, and do a good job in fuel cell vehicle demonstration and hydrogenation. Promote the deep coupling of industrial chain, innovation chain, supply chain and factor chain, and further provide new momentum for the province's energy transformation and high-quality development of equipment manufacturing. During

the conference, experts and scholars delivered keynote speeches on the current situation of fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen sources, the establishment of hydrogen energy utilization safety system, the development of hydrogen energy equipment industry, and the innovation of hydrogen energy application mode, and held forum discussions to promote the construction of an open and win-win hydrogen energy development pattern and explore the road of high-quality development of hydrogen energy industry. At the

signing ceremony, Guohong Group, Jintuo Capital, Guoyuan Group and Hydrogen New Energy signed a four-party contract to jointly initiate the establishment of the Hydrogen Energy Industry Fund; Hydrogen Energy has also signed financial assistance agreements with some financial institutions for the development of hydrogen energy industry, and signed market strategic cooperation agreements with 10 key enterprises in the national hydrogen energy industry chain, such as Yutong Commercial Vehicle, Dechuang Future and Shaanxi Coal New Energy.

At the meeting, the 120 kW fuel cell system product release link and the unveiling ceremony of Heluo Hydrogen Energy Industry Research Institute were also held. Fan Weicheng, academician of

the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Dean of the Institute of Public Safety of Tsinghua University, Zheng Jinyang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Dean of the Institute of Hydrogen Energy of Zhejiang University, Wang Haijiang, academician of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and professor of Southern University of Science and Technology, Wang Feng, Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice-President of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, and other experts and scholars attended the meeting. Yi Baolian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and researcher of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, attended the meeting in the form of video.
