Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is one of the electrolytic methods for producing green hydrogen; it is also the electrolytic hydrogen production technique that has been in use for the longest time and possesses the most mature technology at present. Our country has long held a leading position globally in this technological field, and in recent years **relevant policies have also been introduced to continue supporting the development of alkaline water electrolysis technology. In the key project on \"hydrogen energy technology\" under the \"14th Five-Year Plan\" key research and development program issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2021, the development of key technologies for high-efficiency, high-power alkaline water electrolyzers and the production of related equipment are explicitly listed. In February 2022, the **Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period** issued by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission also proposed to explore the use of renewable energy for hydrogen production, in order to support the large-scale transmission of new energy sources. The 1000 Nm3/h alkaline water electrolyzer models launched by Guofu Hydrogen Energy this time utilize a new electrode processing technique that improves hydrogen evolution efficiency and reduces energy consumption ； An optimized 3D electrode structure is employed, along with a specialized coating that increases the electrode’s surface area ； The surface of the diaphragm is modified with polymers and inorganic nanoparticles, which effectively enhances its hydrophilicity, ionic conductivity, and high-temperature resistance, reduces the voltage drop across the diaphragm, further increases the current density, and boosts hydrogen production. More importantly, the localization rate of the components for the 1000 Nm3/h alkaline water electrolyzer products manufactured by Guofu Hydrogen Energy is nearly 100%. By adopting intelligent manufacturing and mass production, product costs are further reduced, safety and reliability are improved, which also helps to expand the production scale of hydrogen produced from alkaline water. Guofu Hydrogen is putting the green hydrogen development strategy into practice through concrete actions; its 1000 Nm3/h alkaline water electrolyzer, thanks to its outstanding technical advantages, is expected to be exported to Europe within two years. Meanwhile, within the next three years, Guofu Hydrogen aims to raise the hydrogen production capacity of each electrolyzer to 3000 Nm3/h, thereby enabling large-scale production of green hydrogen and its delivery to other locations.
