十堰召开氢能产业发展专题会 加快氢能走廊十堰段建设Shiyan Holds Special Meeting on Hydrogen Energy Industry Development to Accelerate the Construction of the Shiyan Section of the Hydrogen Energy Corridor

On November 6, Shiyan City held a special meeting on the development of the hydrogen energy industry. Yu Ke, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, presided over the meeting and deployed the next phase of work, requiring all localities and relevant departments to follow the construction plan of the comprehensive hydrogen energy application pilot city, take responsibility, reverse the schedule, expedite implementation, and promote breakthrough development of the hydrogen energy industry.

At the meeting, the city's economy and information, development and reform departments, and some counties and districts reported on the development status of the hydrogen energy industry, while relevant municipal units delivered presentations on project implementation, technological research, and market expansion. The meeting emphasized that hydrogen energy is a green and low-carbon clean energy, and developing the hydrogen energy industry is a practical requirement for optimizing the local energy consumption structure and advancing industrial transformation and upgrading. This year, Shiyan was successfully included as a national comprehensive hydrogen energy application pilot city, marking another significant development opportunity for the local area after being selected as part of the first batch of national carbon peak pilot cities and the ecological product value realization mechanism pilot.

The meeting proposed that the advantages and shortcomings of the hydrogen energy industry should be viewed objectively, seizing opportunities and overcoming bottlenecks, focusing on the development of the entire industry chain, continuously strengthening leading enterprises, supplementing supporting facilities, and expanding application scenarios, to promote the hydrogen energy industry from demonstration exploration to large-scale development.

Projects have been identified as key support for industrial cultivation. The meeting called for using key projects as starting points, actively adopting mature and advanced technologies, and reducing the cost of hydrogen production and usage; it also supports local key vehicle manufacturers in fully capturing the national hydrogen energy market, promoting the advantages of hydrogen energy heavy trucks to expand into hydrogen energy special-purpose vehicles, hydrogen energy ships, hydrogen energy aircraft, and other fields.

In terms of infrastructure, Shiyan will accelerate the construction of the Shiyan section of the hydrogen energy corridor, relying on the Han-Xiang-Shiyan hydrogen energy corridor layout, building hydrogen refueling stations according to local conditions and scientific planning; at the same time, it will actively liaise with the National Pipeline Network Group to strive to include Shiyan in the relevant hydrogen transport network plans and create a regional energy transmission hub.

The meeting also emphasized adhering to a systematic approach, coordinating the cultivation of the industrial chain, the layout of infrastructure, policy provision, and safety supervision, and following a path for hydrogen energy industry development with local characteristics. The local authorities will improve the division of responsibilities and scheduling mechanisms, strengthen support for key elements, scenario applications, and service supervision, accurately attract upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, deepen collaborative innovation among industry, academia, and research, strictly uphold the bottom line of production safety, and transform pilot project benefits into industrial effectiveness. Municipal leaders Zhou Zhiyong and Zhang Dansheng attended the meeting.
