Against the backdrop of the global energy structure transition, hydrogen energy, with its clean, efficient, and sustainable characteristics, is gradually becoming a key component of the future energy landscape. According to the International Energy Agency, by 2050, hydrogen energy is expected to meet 12%-14% of global end-user energy demand, underscoring its significance in the energy system. With the rapid rise of the hydrogen energy industry, establishing and improving relevant technical standards and regulatory systems has become increasingly urgent to ensure the healthy and orderly development of the industry.
Recently, the China Society of Technology Economics officially unveiled the group standard "Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Integrated Hydrogen Production and Refueling Stations" (Standard No.: T/CSTE0687-2024). The release of this standard represents the collective wisdom of numerous industry experts and enterprises. Hydrogen Source Jiachuang (Zhejiang) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of United Hydrogen Energy Group, played a central role in the formulation of this standard. Leveraging its extensive expertise and practical experience in the hydrogen energy field, the company contributed significantly to the scientific, practical, and operational aspects of the standard.
During the standard formulation process, United Hydrogen Energy conducted an in-depth analysis of the actual conditions of China's hydrogen energy industry and, drawing on its rich industry experience, proposed a series of forward-looking recommendations. These recommendations covered multiple aspects, including the design, construction, and operation of integrated hydrogen production and refueling stations, while emphasizing the balance of safety, efficiency, and environmental protection. These efforts provided a critical foundation for building safe and reliable hydrogen energy infrastructure. According to statistics, by the end of 2023, China had completed the construction of over 270 hydrogen refueling stations. This number is expected to grow to several thousand by 2030, and the release of the "Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Integrated Hydrogen Production and Refueling Stations" will undoubtedly provide strong support for this rapid growth trend.
As a top performer in the hydrogen energy industry, United Hydrogen Energy has always been committed to becoming China's largest hydrogen service provider. Its participation in the standard formulation not only highlights its leading position in hydrogen infrastructure construction but also reflects its responsibility and commitment as an industry leader. United Hydrogen Energy recognizes that standardization is a key driver for the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry. Therefore, the company will continue to actively participate in the formulation and improvement of industry standards, contributing to the standardized and regulated development of the hydrogen energy sector.
Under the guidance of the national "dual carbon" strategy, the hydrogen energy industry is experiencing unprecedented development opportunities. Leveraging its professional expertise and innovative capabilities, United Hydrogen Energy is gradually building an ecosystem that spans the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, from hydrogen production, storage, and refueling to hydrogen applications, striving for excellence in every segment. In the future, United Hydrogen Energy will continue to deepen its focus on the hydrogen energy field, contributing more wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of China's hydrogen energy industry, and working hand in hand with industry partners to usher in a new chapter in the hydrogen energy era.
