Reinventing Energy's Ma Jingnan: Sold Hydrogen Fuel Cell System Total Output Power Ranks First in China for Two Consecutive Years

Ma Jingnan, Vice President of Reinventing Energy, was invited to deliver a keynote speech at the official ‘China-Day’ event held by IAA on 17 September 2024. Ma said that the conditions are ripe for the industrialisation of China's hydrogen commercial vehicle industry, and that medium and heavy trucks account for more than 50 percent of the fuel cell vehicle fleet. More than 50%. The total output power of hydrogen fuel cell system for heavy trucks sold by Heavy Energy will rank first in China's hydrogen fuel cell system market for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023.

TÜV Rheinland: Alkaline Electrolysers More Suitable for China at This Stage

A few days ago, TÜV Rheinland released the ‘Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Whole Industry Chain White Paper,’ pointing out that by 2060, China's hydrogen production could reach 100 million tonnes, creating a huge market of up to 5 trillion yuan in size.Li Weichun, vice president of TÜV Rheinland's global power electronics services and general manager of Greater China's solar and commercial product services, said, ‘At this stage, alkaline electrolysis tanks are better suited to China's development. At this stage, alkaline electrolysers are more suitable for China's development. The scale of China's new energy development is large, the volume of electrolytic hydrogen production is large, and hydrogen storage is required. Alkaline electrolysers can meet the demand and are a very good choice.’

Baltic States to build 2,500km hydrogen energy corridor

Lithuania's energy ministry has said that by 2040, the Baltic Sea littoral countries, including Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany, will be linked by a 2,500-kilometre-long green hydrogen energy corridor. The corridor could transport 2.7 million tonnes of hydrogen fuel per year, according to a preliminary feasibility study that has been completed by the operator of the Nordic and Baltic Gas Transmission System.
