【Ten Years of Great Progress in Chemical Engineering Technology】050-2023: First nationwide grid-connected power generation using solid hydrogen storage

Thread Content

Ten years of rapid development in chemical engineering technology; praise for the prosperous and strong China. This is just a starting point to encourage more people to get involved, making things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your participation – we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Everyone should pay attention to safety and know how to handle emergencies. ********************************************* On March 25, 2023, **key research projects related to solid hydrogen energy generation were successfully implemented simultaneously in Guangzhou and Kunming. This marked the first time in China that photovoltaic power was converted into solid hydrogen energy for use in power systems. At the Nansha Electrohydrogen Smart Energy Station in Guangzhou, these seven rectangular containers for storing hydrogen are the solid-state hydrogen storage devices that have just been put into operation. Solid-state hydrogen storage differs from the current gas and liquid hydrogen storage methods; it involves a chemical reaction between hydrogen and an alloy at room temperature, allowing hydrogen atoms to be stored in the gaps within the metal. The pressure for storing hydrogen is 2–3 megapascals, and the hydrogen can be released by increasing the temperature of the alloy.
