[SMM Hydrogen Energy Brief: Two Group Standards for New Energy Hydrogen Production Officially Released and Implemented] It was learned on April 1 that two group standards in the field of new energy hydrogen production, led and compiled by the Xinjiang Design Branch of the Pipeline Design Institute and jointly co-compiled by 16 industry entities in China, had been officially approved, released, and implemented by the Standardization Working Committee of the China International Association for Promotion of Science and Technology. The two standards released are "Safety Technical Guidelines for Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Plants" and "Economic Operation Indicators and Calculation Methods for Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Plants," which will provide normative references for safe operations, economic operation, and indicator accounting in the water electrolysis hydrogen production industry.

[SMM Hydrogen Energy News: Hydrogenergy Won the Bid for State Grid Jiangxi Electric Power Research Institute PEM Pure Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Equipment Procurement Project] Recently, Hydrogenergy successfully won the bid for the PEM pure water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment procurement project of the Electric Power Research Institute of State Grid Jiangxi Electric Power Co., Ltd., responsible for equipment production, supply, transportation, and subsequent supporting services. The proton exchange membrane hydrogen production equipment won in this bid will be used to verify the response characteristics of PEM hydrogen production systems under green electricity fluctuation conditions, accumulating measured operational data for power grid flexible load regulation. As one of the earlier PEM hydrogen production research-type installations deployed in the Jiangxi power grid system, this project will also provide important technical selection references for the subsequent construction of regional hydrogen energy storage demonstration stations.

[SMM Hydrogen Energy News: National Energy Administration: China's Renewable Energy Hydrogen Production Accelerating Toward Large-Scale Development] On April 27, the National Energy Administration released Q1 energy data, indicating that China's renewable energy hydrogen production entered a new stage of large-scale development. As of March month-end, nationwide completed and under-construction green hydrogen capacity exceeded 1 million mt/year, of which operational capacity exceeded 250,000 mt/year, doubling YoY, with under-construction capacity exceeding 900,000 mt/year. Northeast and North China were core production regions, with Jilin and Inner Mongolia leading the way. Wind and solar power-hydrogen coupling and integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol models accelerated implementation. Going forward, plans will be developed for the "15th Five-Year Plan" hydrogen energy development, with policy frameworks to be improved to drive high-quality industrial development.
