Planning and Feasibility Study for a Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park in Shanxi with an Investment of 20 billion yuan. Author/Source: Coal Chemical Industry 114 Forum. Date: August 9, 2021. Views: 23. On August 4, the Xiaoyi Economic Development Zone organized a meeting to discuss the planning for a hydrogen energy industry in Shanxi (Lüliang) under the auspices of Pengfei Group. Representatives from outstanding enterprises that cooperate with Pengfei, both domestically and internationally, were invited to participate via video conference to provide suggestions for establishing Pengwan Hydrogen Port Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park as a model facility for the hydrogen energy industry in Shanxi (Lüliang). Zhang Youquan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Xiaoyi Economic Development Zone, Wu Jianfei, Assistant to the Director, Liang Hong, Director of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau of Xiaoyi City, and Zheng Peng, Chairman and President of Pengfei Group, attended the meeting and delivered speeches. At the meeting, representatives from 7 companies, including Germany’s TÜV Group, U.S.-based Chart (Changzhou) Co., Ltd., the Sino-French joint venture Houpu Co., Ltd., Saiding Design Institute, CSCEC Group, Dongfang Electric, and Shenneng Group, took turns speaking on 10 planning and discussion topics, including hydrogen production, storage, refueling, transportation, utilization, the hydrogen fuel industry, research on the hydrogen energy sector, industrial incentives, industry standards, and hydrogen-powered trucks. By considering the international and domestic economic developments as well as future trends in hydrogen energy, and leveraging their respective corporate strengths, they put forward reasonable suggestions for the development of the Pengwan Hydrogen Port, a hydrogen energy industry demonstration park in Shanxi (Lüliang). Liang Hong said that the Municipal Industry and Information Technology Bureau will go all out to provide excellent services, and hopes that enterprises will take the lead in establishing application scenarios for the entire hydrogen energy industry chain across the city ； Was the first in the city to get involved in the development of the safety assessment system ； Pioneered the establishment of a management system for hydrogen energy applications across the city ； Taking the lead in integrating the world’s most advanced hydrogen energy industry technologies across the city, it formulates industrial plans for Pengwan Hydrogen Port and assists Pengfei in expanding and strengthening its hydrogen energy industry. Wu Jianfei analyzed the advantages of Xiaoyi as China’s largest hydrogen production base using coke oven gas, in terms of hydrogen production costs, application scenarios, and policy support. Taking hydrogen-powered trucks as an example, he shared the planning and layout strategies for such trucks and hydrogen refueling stations in the entire city, with Pengfei taking the lead over the next 3-5 years. Zheng Pengzhu hopes that the enterprise representatives present will work together with the goal of establishing hydrogen-powered heavy truck applications in Xiaoyi by January 1, 2022, by combining their strengths to create a hydrogen industry ecosystem based in Xiaoyi, one that can serve Lüliang and even the entire province of Shanxi as well as the whole country. By utilizing the most advanced technologies, application models, and demonstration standards, they can seize the lead in the development of the future energy revolution. Zhang Youquan offered suggestions regarding aspects such as the planning and positioning of industrial parks, the paths for industrial development, support for key projects and essential elements, as well as policy safeguards. He hoped that the experts present would, from their respective professional perspectives, adopt a flexible and diverse approach to cooperation, with the goal of shaping the future of hydrogen energy development. He believed that by participating in today’s discussion session, governments and enterprises would gain even greater confidence in utilizing the Pengwan Hydrogen Port Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park to establish a demonstration park for hydrogen energy industry in Shanxi (Lüliang). The meeting decided that Sai Ding Design Institute should consolidate the suggestions put forward by the participants, draft a corresponding report within one week, and submit it to Xiaoyi City and Lüliang City**, in order to help the province’s hydrogen energy industry blaze new trails and achieve successful transformation through the energy revolution. The Pengwan Hydrogen Port Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park project is expected to have a total investment of 20 billion yuan. It is an industrial park for the comprehensive utilization of hydrogen energy, developed through a partnership between Pengfei Group and the American Gulf Environmental Systems Company. The designed production capacity is 200,000 tons of hydrogen per year, with construction taking place in three phases. The hydrogen production method relies primarily on coal gas reforming, with coal-based hydrogen production serving as a supplementary method. The park is planned to incorporate functions such as hydrogen production, storage, refueling, transportation, as well as downstream industries and research and development, aiming to become a influential demonstration base for the hydrogen energy industry in Shanxi Province and across the country. The Pengwan Hydrogen Port 20,000 tons/year coke oven gas hydrogen production project is the first phase of the hydrogen production facility with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons that Pengfei Group plans to build. The total contract value is 295 million yuan, and the design was carried out by Saiding Engineering Company. The overall plan for the project consists of three functional sections: hydrogen production, storage and transportation, and hydrogen energy applications. On April 17, Pengfei Group signed a general contract for the construction of the Pengwan Hydrogen Port project, which involves the production of hydrogen from 20,000 tons per year of coke oven gas, with China Machinery Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. and China National Ninth Construction Engineering Company. This marks the entry of the project into its actual construction phase.
