【International】Spending $7 billion to support! The United States announced seven green hydrogen centres!

On October 13, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $7 billion to launch seven regional clean hydrogen centres across the country to accelerate the fact that low-cost clean hydrogen can be produced with zero or near-zero carbon emissions and is critical to achieving the Biden administration's climate and energy security goals. The Green Hydrogen Hubs are expected to produce a total of 3 million metric tonnes of hydrogen per year, reaching nearly one-third of the 2030 U.S. production goal and reducing emissions from hard-to-de-carbonise industrial sectors, which account for 30 per cent of total U.S. carbon emissions. An additional $1 billion will be used to support the demand side of the Hydrogen Energy Centre, driving innovative applications of clean hydrogen. The Hydrogen Energy Centre received 79 applications for initial projects, from which 33 were subsequently selected by the Department of Energy as projects to be encouraged.

【Policy】 Yantai, Shandong Province to develop the whole hydrogen energy industry chain

Recently, the People's Government of Yantai City, Shandong Province, issued the Medium and Long-Term Development Plan for the Hydrogen Energy Industry in Yantai City (2022-2030) (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The Plan focuses on achieving the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and explores the strategy of integrating hydrogen energy into the regional energy system and the coordinated development of multiple energy sources, proposing that the scale of the hydrogen energy industry will reach 10 billion yuan by 2025, and that the scale of the hydrogen energy industry will reach more than 30 billion yuan by 2030, forming a hydrogen energy industry system that integrates hydrogen production, storage, transportation, processing, and use, and providing strong support for the green and low-carbon transformation of Yantai City's energy structure. Strong support for the green and low-carbon transformation of Yantai's energy structure.

【International】France to build Europe's largest hydrogen storage cylinder production plant

A few days ago, the French auto parts manufacturer Pio company in the Hauts-de-France region of the city of Gombigny to start the construction of Europe's largest hydrogen storage tank production plant. The total investment in the plant is about 150 million euros, of which the French government provides about half of the subsidies. The plant is expected to produce 80,000 hydrogen cylinders per year after it goes into operation in 2024, and will mainly supply buses and heavy-duty lorries owned by Strandis and Renault.

It is reported that Pio's orders in the hydrogen sector have totalled more than €4 billion so far. The company plans to build large-scale factories in Michigan, USA and Shanghai, China to produce hydrogen storage equipment in the future, the company's director said. The Michigan plant will have an annual capacity of 100,000 hydrogen cylinders and the Shanghai plant will have an annual capacity of 60,000 cylinders.
