[Haichuan Hydrogen Energy] Baowu Group officially launches magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage project

Magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage alloys are regarded as one of the most promising new types of hydrogen storage materials. They boast abundant mineral resources, a high theoretical hydrogen storage capacity, as well as excellent safety properties and environmental friendliness. Magnesium itself is an excellent hydrogen storage medium. Magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage technology offers advantages such as high hydrogen storage capacity, safe storage and transportation under normal temperature and pressure, the ability for long-term storage, and low costs. In terms of applications, this technology has great potential for use in areas such as hydrogen metallurgy, hydrogen energy storage, hydrogen chemistry, and distributed power generation. It is reported that the three parties will use this seminar as an opportunity to further strengthen their close cooperation, work together on original hydrogen energy technologies, common technologies, and application technologies, and actively fulfill their responsibilities and obligations under the \"411 Strategic Partnership\" in the interest of all three parties in the long term. Plan comprehensively and outline the overall development of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, while strengthening exchanges and communications at a deeper level and enhancing coordination in work. Seize the opportunities to achieve revolutionary breakthroughs in hydrogen energy technology, work together to promote the healthy, orderly, and sustainable development of the hydrogen energy industry, strive to create a first-class ecosystem for this industry, integrate effectively into the global hydrogen energy supply chain and innovation network, and move forward together to pursue our goals in the field of hydrogen energy! Lu Yiyu, vice president and professor at Chongqing University, said that it is hoped that through this conference and the implementation of these projects, process technologies and standards for medium-temperature, high-density, low-cost magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage materials can be developed, thereby enabling large-scale production of high-performance magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials that are at the international leading level. At the same time, further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with Chongqing University, Baosteel Metal, and Yunhai Metal to promote in-depth integration of industry, academia, research, and application, thereby contributing to the development of hydrogen energy in China. Mei Xiaoming, chairman of Yunhai Metal, stated that hydrogen energy is an important component of the future energy system; it serves as a key means for achieving green and low-carbon development at the end-use level, and it represents a major focus for the development of strategic emerging industries. The hydrogen energy industry chain is long and the technical challenges are significant. Accelerating the development of the “magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials” project is in line with the **strategic development direction, and it represents an important way to promote the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry. With a global perspective, the three parties strive to foster an open and collaborative environment, promote innovation through knowledge sharing, encourage participation by multiple stakeholders, and achieve distributed collaboration, in order to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership. Next, the three parties will establish a cooperation mechanism, refine and deepen the implementation plan, divide tasks and work together to advance the construction of hydrogen storage alloy production lines and expand various applications for hydrogen energy. They will build an ecosystem for the diversified use of hydrogen energy in areas such as transportation, energy storage, and industry, seize a leading position in the international arena, and jointly promote the vigorous development of hydrogen-related science and technology.

Tang Neng, deputy director of Baosteel’s Metal Technology Center, and Zhu Tianbai, head of the Project Management Department at Yunhai Metal, pointed out that when designing and developing magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage materials, it is necessary to consider catalysts and additives aimed at improving hydrogen storage performance, while also taking into account their impact on the recycling of magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys. It was also pointed out that magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage and transportation should move away from the conventional approach of using high-pressure gas cylinders for transport; instead, the advantages of solid hydrogen storage materials should be fully utilized. In such a setup, the magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage materials can be transported directly, with the corresponding hydrogen absorption and release devices being installed at the point of use. This approach can enhance the advantages of magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage, improve the efficiency of hydrogen storage and transportation, and reduce transportation costs. Previously, in April of this year, Chongqing University, Baosteel Metal, and Yunhai Metal jointly signed an agreement for the technical development of magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials. This collaborative project aims to develop process technologies and standards for medium-temperature, high-density, low-cost magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage materials through laboratory research on such materials, as well as pilot-scale production and compression molding of hydrogen storage materials in quantities of over 100 kilograms. The ultimate goal is to achieve large-scale production capabilities for high-performance magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials that are at the international leading level. The official launch of this magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials project will not only fully integrate the intellectual resources of all three parties and leverage their respective strengths, but also further facilitate the transfer and application of scientific and technological achievements. It will help promote the high-quality development of China’s hydrogen energy industry, provide strong support for achieving the \"dual carbon\" goals, and advance the development of this industry in a steady and orderly manner ； Furthermore, this also marks the official launch of a comprehensive strategic partnership among Chongqing University, Baosteel Metal, and Yunhai Metal in the field of \"magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials,\" thereby opening up a new era of scaled-up collaborative development in the magnesium industry.
