Two Group Standards for Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Officially Released in China

[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.

[SMM Hydrogen Energy Brief: Yuchai Marine Power Delivered China's First 6X52DF-A-1.0 Ammonia Dual-Fuel Low-Speed Engine] Recently, Yuchai Marine Power successfully delivered China's first 6X52DF-A-1.0 ammonia dual-fuel low-speed engine at its Zhuhai factory, marking an important milestone in the field of green and low-carbon marine power. The engine will be applied to the 25,000 m³ series LPG/liquid ammonia carriers, adopting high-pressure liquid ammonia direct injection technology. It delivers excellent power performance under both fuel modes and is equipped with an HPSCR system, meeting low-carbon requirements and the International Maritime Organization Tier III emission standards.
