Policy Review
1. The Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Gansu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, and the Gansu Provincial Energy Bureau issued the "Gansu Province Zero-Carbon Park Construction Plan."The document pointed out that organically integrating solar, wind, geothermal, and air energy to directly supply buildings with energy, and relying on technologies such as wind-solar-hydrogen-storage microgrids, heat pumps, and molten salt thermal storage, will enhance the multi-energy conversion and mutual utilization of "electricity, heat, cooling, steam, and hydrogen" in industrial parks. It will vigorously develop emerging green and low-carbon industries, promote breakthroughs in core technologies for wind, solar, and ESS equipment, increase the localization rate of new energy equipment production, and build a "high-proportion green electricity-driven" new energy equipment industry chain. It will support the construction of projects for wind-solar coupled green hydrogen production and hydrogen energy storage industry chains, advance the integrated development of "green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, refueling, and utilization," and create a "wind-solar-hydrogen-methanol-ammonia" zero-carbon industry chain. It will guide the coordinated development of computing power projects and clean energy layout, increase the proportion of green electricity supply in data centers, and build a "computing power + green electricity" digital economy industry chain.
2. The Jilin Provincial Energy Bureau issued the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Construction of Green Electricity Direct Connection Projects in Jilin Province (Trial)" (Draft for Comments). The document indicated that new load projects can carry out green electricity direct connections, with key support for hydrogen-based green energy (green hydrogen, green hydrogen to green ammonia, green hydrogen to green methanol, green hydrogen to sustainable aviation fuel, etc.), steel metallurgy, computing power (data) centers, automotive manufacturing, and other industries. Electricity consumption projects that have not registered with grid companies (including expansion parts of existing loads), projects that have registered but whose supporting grid projects have not yet started construction, and existing projects agreed upon through consultation with grid companies are all regarded as new loads. In principle, new loads (including expansion parts of existing loads) and existing loads should not have direct electrical connections.
3. The European Commission approved a €4 billion electrolyzer special fund, providing a 30% subsidy on equipment costs for projects with an annual capacity of ≥500MW, and set a 2030 efficiency target for green hydrogen project electrolyzers at ≥60% (LHV basis).
