China's First 30kW High-Temperature Membrane Fuel Cell Cogeneration System Delivered, Headleader Leads Distributed Zero-Carbon Energy Applications

​

On December 8, the 30 kW high-temperature membrane fuel cell combined heat and power (CHP) system independently developed by Beijing High-Tech Delizi New Technology Co., Ltd. officially completed product delivery. The system will be deployed at the comprehensive building of the Jingneng Technology (Yixian County) booster station, providing it with clean electricity and high-quality heat sources. As the first 30 kW-class high-temperature membrane fuel cell CHP system delivered in China, this marks an important leap from key breakthroughs to large-scale demonstration applications in this technological field, offering a replicable practical model for distributed zero-carbon energy supply.​

I. Core Technologies and Performance Advantages of the Product​

The system, centered around high-temperature membrane fuel cell technology, combines flexibility, efficiency, and safety, demonstrating three outstanding advantages:​

1. Dual-fuel switching for diverse scenarios: Innovatively adopting a high-purity hydrogen and methanol dual-fuel design, the system can flexibly switch based on the hydrogen energy infrastructure conditions within the scenario. Even without a mature high-purity hydrogen supply system, it can still achieve energy supply using methanol as a hydrogen carrier, eliminating reliance on high-purity hydrogen storage and transportation systems, significantly reducing safety risks and infrastructure costs.​

2. Efficient skid-mounted integrated design: Utilizing a skid-mounted structure, the system can produce and utilize hydrogen on-site when using methanol as fuel, achieving a power generation efficiency of ≥42% and a combined heat and power efficiency of up to ≥90%. The system can output 220/380 V alternating current (AC) or 48 V direct current (DC), while providing hot water at 50-85℃. The electrical energy can meet demands for lighting, equipment operation, charging piles, etc., while the thermal energy can be used for domestic heating or hot water supply, enabling efficient energy cascade utilization.​

3. Multi-mode flexible application: The system can operate independently off-grid or be coupled with various energy forms such as grid power, PV, and heat pumps to construct intelligent micro-power/heat grids, achieving comprehensive and efficient supply of electricity and heat, as well as multi-energy coordination and optimization, to meet the energy supply demands of different scenarios.​

II. Application Value and Industry Significance​

1. Broad scenario adaptability: This technology combines the advantages of safe and stable methanol storage and transportation with the flexibility of distributed energy sources, offering significant potential for emission reduction and energy efficiency improvement in various scenarios, including industry, commerce, communities, industrial parks, data centers, rural microgrids, and building energy supply. It also meets zero-carbon park standards, providing users with a safe, convenient, and efficient integrated energy solution.​

2. Foundation for technological iteration: The successful delivery of this 30 kW-class system has accumulated key technologies and engineering experience for the subsequent R&D and large-scale application of hundred-kilowatt-class and even megawatt (MW)-class large power high-temperature membrane fuel cell power generation and CHP systems, driving China's high-temperature membrane fuel cell technology toward higher power and broader scenarios.​

3. Facilitating the Transition of the Energy System: As a forward-looking future industry strategically deployed by the state, the practical application of hydrogen energy technology holds significant importance for building a secure, efficient, and clean modern energy system. The demonstration operation of this system will inject new momentum into deep decarbonization across sectors such as transportation, construction, and industry.
