The world’s first practical and large-scale zero-carbon smart energy center has been built and put into operation

This project makes use of Yulin’s abundant solar energy resources, converting solar energy into electrical power through photovoltaic panels to provide a clean source of electricity； The excess electrical energy is used to extract hydrogen from water through electrolyzers and store it; together with the hydrogen produced by Yulin’s hydrogen energy supply chain, this hydrogen is converted into electrical and thermal energy through the chemical reactions in hydrogen fuel cell systems ； Thermal energy can be converted into cold energy using heat pumps, and in combination with heat (cold) storage systems, it supplies buildings with electricity for daily use, cooling in summer, and heating in winter. The project also adapts to local conditions by utilizing the shallow geothermal wells in Yulin as one of the heat supply sources, thereby enabling the seasonal storage of waste heat. Compared to the costs of traditional grid power supply and municipal energy supply, the cost of the former is over 0.57 yuan per kilowatt-hour; during the design life of the demonstration project, the equivalent energy supply cost is approximately 0.36 yuan per kilowatt-hour. As a result, the annual operating cost of the demonstration project is reduced by more than 60%, while the total cost is cut by over 36%. Additionally, it reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 8,640 tons per year, which is equivalent to planting 480,000 trees, thus truly achieving a balance between environmental protection and economic benefits. Currently, this demonstration project has begun to provide zero-carbon energy supply for the athletes’ village of the 17th Shaanxi Provincial Games, covering an area of 120,000 square meters. The practical and scalable zero-carbon smart energy centers put into use in this project will help China build a green, safe, and efficient energy system. In recent years, thanks to its solid technical foundation, reliable product quality, and excellent service, Guohong Hydrogen Energy has gained a number of high-quality clients in the field of distributed power generation. It has established stable and good cooperative relationships with clients such as Southern Power Grid and China Tower. The company has also built a good reputation within the industry, thereby shaping the Guohong brand image. It is believed that in the coming time, Guohong Hydrogen Energy will also work closely with its partners to build a hydrogen energy ecosystem, contributing to the widespread use of fuel cells in various applications.

Liking – it really takes some advanced technology to create energy cells

Among these, the solutions for producing hydrogen through water electrolysis, solutions for storing and transporting hydrogen, solutions for pressure-regulated hydrogen supply systems, as well as the related core equipment are all provided by the company’s Langfang Hydrogen Energy Integration Division, which has 18 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of high-pressure gas station products. The equipment provided this time is mostly designed and manufactured using an integrated skid design, featuring high integration levels, high automation, small size, low space requirement, and compliance with safety and environmental standards. It is equipped with intelligent systems that enable full automatic control, real-time communication, and process monitoring. For this project, CIMC Cryo provides all aspects related to hydrogen production, storage, transportation, unloading, pressure regulation, and the intelligent control system, demonstrating the company’s capability to manufacture hydrogen-related equipment across the entire industrial chain. Meanwhile, as early as the end of 2021, the company and Baowu Clean Energy Co., Ltd. officially signed an agreement for the development of a hydrogen-based heat and power generation demonstration system for Baowu’s operation management building. The first phase of this project has been equipped with Panasonic’s hydrogen-powered generation equipment, enabling the implementation of a \"1.4-kilowatt hydrogen-based heat and power generation test unit\" for use in buildings. Ms. Yang Baoying, Deputy General Manager of CIMC Enrico and head of CIMC’s hydrogen energy business, said: “Distributed CHP systems are designed for end-users directly. Compared with the traditional energy use model of centralized production, transportation, and end-use, distributed energy supply systems provide various types of energy directly to users, which helps to minimize transportation costs and make effective use of the waste heat generated during power generation, thereby improving energy efficiency.” The application of the company’s hydrogen energy equipment and technologies in the zero-carbon distributed smart energy center demonstration project in Yulin Science and Innovation City represents a further advancement of the company’s technologies in the field of distributed energy storage. In the future, we will continue to increase our research and development efforts in the areas of hydrogen production from renewable sources, its storage and transportation, as well as its applications. We will also strive to develop practical and scalable methods for utilizing zero-carbon energy, thereby contributing to the achievement of China’s dual-carbon goals. ”(Source: CIMC Enrico)
