【Policy】Local Policy丨《Temporary Measures for the Construction and Management of Hydrogen Refueling Stations for Fuel Cell Vehicles in Tangshan City (Draft for Comments)》is released to support the construction of integrated hydrogen production and hydrogen refueling stations

On May 27, the Development and Reform Commission of Tangshan City, Hebei Province, released the Interim Measures for the Construction and Management of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Hydrogen Refueling Stations in Tangshan City (Draft for Comments) (hereinafter referred to as "Interim Measures"), which applies to the management of new construction and expansion of operational hydrogen refueling stations and enterprise self-use hydrogen refueling stations within the administrative area of Tangshan City. The Interim Measures propose that enterprises belonging to self-use hydrogen refuelling stations should build hydrogen production plants, support the establishment of photovoltaic hydrogen production and wind power hydrogen production projects in non-chemical parks, and rely on the development of hydrogen production plants and hydrogen refuelling stations as an integrated hydrogen production and hydrogen refuelling project.

The Interim Measures point out that the nature of land for operating hydrogen refuelling stations is commercial land, and the nature of land for enterprises' self-use hydrogen refuelling stations can be industrial land; project units must obtain or lease land for the construction of hydrogen refuelling stations in accordance with the law.

The Interim Measures propose that the enterprise to which the self-use hydrogen refuelling station belongs should build a hydrogen production plant, and support the establishment of photovoltaic hydrogen production and wind power hydrogen production projects in non-chemical parks, and develop hydrogen production and hydrogen refuelling projects based on the development of hydrogen production plants and hydrogen refuelling stations as a whole. The enterprises' own hydrogen refuelling stations do not need to go through the operation and filling procedures such as "Business License", "Gas Operation Permit" and "Gas Cylinder Filling Permit", and can be operated after being examined and filed (or necessary supervision procedures) by the city's housing and urban-rural construction, emergency management, market supervision and other departments.

Tangshan has laid out the hydrogen energy industry as a key direction for the development of new energy industry, and has been selected as a demonstration city group for fuel cell vehicles in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, supporting the production of hydrogen from renewable energy sources and actively exploring the construction of an integrated hydrogen production and refuelling station.

According to the "Tangshan Hydrogen Energy Industry Development Plan (2021-2025)", one, two and four renewable energy hydrogen plants will be built by 2021, 2023 and 2025 respectively; and more than five, 15 and 30 hydrogen refuelling stations will be built. At present, only one hydrogen refuelling station has been built in the Seaport Economic Development Zone in Tangshan, which is the HSC Tangshan Hydrogen Refuelling Demonstration Station project, with a hydrogen refuelling capacity of 500 kg/day and pressure meeting 35/70 MPa.

【News】International Hydrogen Energy | Denmark to build the world's largest industrial-scale solid oxide electrolyzer production plant

On 23 May, Topsoe, a leading Danish decarbonisation technology company, announced that it will build the world's largest and most advanced industrial-scale solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) production plant in Denmark, with a capacity of 500 MW per year and the ability to expand to 5 GW.

The SOEC plant will be built in Herning, Denmark, where Topsoe has signed a land lease agreement with the Municipality of Herning, and will cover an area of approximately 72,000 sqm, including approximately 23,000 sqm of production facilities. When completed, it will be the world's first industrial-scale SOEC electrolytic cell plant, designed to meet society's need for a multi-dimensional energy conversion system (Power-to-X).

In September 2021, Henrik Bruun Martens, Commercial Counsellor at the Danish Embassy in China, said at the "2021 Hydrogen Industry Development Forum and the 11th Global New Energy 500 Summit" that a significant reduction in CO2 emissions requires indirect electrification and multi-dimensional energy conversion system solutions. The development and support of clean technologies such as hydrogen energy will provide more viable and applicable options for industries where direct electrification is difficult to achieve.
