 What’s hydrogen?

H
• Simplest
• Smallest
• Lightest
• Most abundant

H2
• smallest density
• High energy density
 Why hydrogen?

• Cleaner
• More efficient
• More than 10% of energy consumption in China, 2050

Firewood Coal Oil Natural Gas Hydrogen

Less carbon and more hydrogen is the trend in the history of human energy revolution

 Fuel cell vehicles

• FCV is one of the important fields of hydrogen

• The cost of fuel cell reduces rapidly
• FCVs will be the main vehicles in the future
 Fuel cell vehicles in China

• 5,000 hydrogen-fueled vehicles, 2018.

• 1 million FCVs and 1,000 hydrogen stations, 2030.
• 2 million FCVs annual production , 5% total automobile production, 2030.
 Hydrogen refueling stations in China
• 17 hydrogen refueling stations in operating.
• At least 45 stations are under construction.

The cost of hydrogen from different production ways in China

Ways to produce scale Cost of raw Cost of hydrogen

hydrogen m3H2/h materials RMB/kgH2

CTH 90000 450 RMB/t 9.6

TGTH Large scale 10 RMB/kg 11.3

GTH 90000 2.5 RMB/Nm3 12.6

MTH 6000 3 RMB/kg 21.3

ETH 200 0.5 RMB/kWh 28.3

• Transportation cost
accounts for 25-40%
of the final cost.

• Higher efficient

• Less CO2

• Less NOx

 Conclusions

• GTH is the most possible way to get abundant H2 resource in

southeast coastal areas of China.
• H2 is not competitor or revolutionary of natural gas.
• H2 is more likely to be as deep processing and high value-added
utilization of natural gas.
• The consumption of H2 will promote natural gas consumption.
• LNG industry has the potential and innate advantages to develop H2
industry, and also shoulders the historical mission of promoting the
development of H2 industry.
