Recently, Jiaxing Port Area signed cooperation agreements with the China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute and Tongji University regarding the establishment of the \"Ministry-Level Key Laboratory for Safety of Hydrogen Storage and Transportation Equipment\" and the \"Joint Establishment of a Hydrogen Safety Research Center in the Yangtze River Delta,\" marking the official launch of these two projects. Building on this, the port area will develop a high-level hydrogen energy innovation platform. As a demonstration area for the hydrogen energy industry in Jiaxing, in recent years the Jiaxing Port Area has taken the lead in implementing the strategy for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region. Seizing opportunities and building on existing advantages, it has made comprehensive plans to develop the hydrogen energy industry and expanded the port area’s new energy industry chain. By adopting new technologies, business models, and approaches, it aims to create a more sophisticated ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship in the hydrogen energy sector, striving to establish itself as a leading base for advanced hydrogen energy manufacturing in the country. At present, Jiaxing Port Area is making every effort to develop the Yangtze River Delta (Jiaxing) Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park, and high-level hydrogen energy innovation platforms serve as important vehicles for gathering, fostering, and strengthening new drivers of development. It is understood that through this agreement, Jiaxing Port Area will work together with the China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute to establish a national-level key laboratory for the safety of hydrogen storage and transportation equipment. This laboratory will carry out two main functions: firstly, it will serve research purposes by investigating testing methods for the performance of hydrogen storage and transportation equipment and materials, as well as the factors that affect their safety ； Second is the inspection and testing function tailored to industrial needs, aimed at building testing capabilities. The goal is to establish Jiaxing Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park as a high-end international brand and a demonstration site for technological innovation, thereby promoting the healthy development of hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment. The Jiaxing Port Area, in collaboration with the China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute and Tongji University, has established the Yangtze River Delta Hydrogen Safety Research Center. Focusing on hydrogen production stations, hydrogen refueling stations, hydrogen storage containers, and mobile pressure-bearing special equipment, this center carries out tasks such as risk assessment, performance evaluation, online monitoring, data analysis, development of monitoring platforms, and standard formulation for various stages of the hydrogen energy industry chain. It aims to provide systematic hydrogen safety solutions for the entire hydrogen industry chain, establish a cooperation mechanism involving government agencies, academia, industry, and research institutions, and create a technology research and service platform for hydrogen energy safety that is leading in China and among the best in the world. Advancing the State-Level Key Laboratory for Safety of Hydrogen Storage and Transportation Equipment and the Yangtze River Delta Hydrogen Safety Research Center is an important part of deploying innovation chains around the industrial chain; it is also a crucial component of building an innovation system in the port area, and furthermore, it serves as a key driver for the development of the emerging hydrogen industry. By expanding, deepening, and upgrading cooperation, it promotes the interconnection of resources among various parties, facilitates the implementation of more innovative projects, and truly creates an innovation platform that integrates technology research and development, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, technical services, and industrialization. This platform showcases industrial development and innovative achievements, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry through innovation.
