Happy New Year 2024 **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) *****************Recently, the **Rare Earth Functional Materials Innovation Center** (abbreviated as “Guochuang Center”) and Qingda Low-Carbon Green Hydrogen Industry Technology Research Institute (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as “Qingda Research Institute”) signed a contract in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, for solid hydrogen storage devices worth over one million yuan. This will mark the first time that solid hydrogen storage devices developed by the Guochuang Center are used on a large scale. The solid hydrogen storage system purchased by Qingda Research Institute from the National Innovation Center will be used in Shandong Province’s first new-energy hydrogen production project – the “120MW fishery-solar hybrid hydrogen production project in Ligezhuang Town, Jiaozhou” – to conduct pilot-scale field tests of hydrogen production processes, hydrogen purification techniques, and metal hydride-based hydrogen storage methods. At present, solid-state hydrogen storage is still in the initial research and development stage in China, with limited applications. The solid hydrogen storage device developed by the National Innovation Center overcomes the previous drawbacks of solid hydrogen storage, such as its low volumetric density; it achieves a volumetric density comparable to that of liquid hydrogen storage. It also features excellent heat control capabilities, no leakage, and high safety levels, making it suitable for a variety of fixed and mobile applications that require large-scale solid hydrogen storage. As an advanced energy-saving enterprise in Shandong Province and a leader in the high-end equipment manufacturing sector, Qingda Research Institute is making every effort to develop businesses related to hydrogen energy. It possesses advanced technologies and equipment in areas such as hydrogen sources, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen transportation, and plays an irreplaceable role in promoting and demonstrating the use of hydrogen energy in Qingdao City and throughout Shandong Province.
