The second China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), the world’s first national-level exhibition focused on supply chains, is underway in Beijing. Among the many innovations showcased, the spotlight falls on the tech-driven green hydrogen industry, a representative of clean energy that is reshaping the future of global energy markets.
Production of Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen is produced through the electrolysis of water, a process powered by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower. This method ensures that no greenhouse gases are emitted during production, making it a truly sustainable energy carrier.
Transportation and Storage
Transporting and storing hydrogen present unique challenges due to its low density and high flammability. Advanced technologies are being developed to compress and liquefy hydrogen for efficient transportation. Underground storage facilities and innovative materials are also being explored to safely contain hydrogen over long periods.
Applications of Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen has vast applications across various industries. In the transportation sector, it powers fuel cell vehicles, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. In industry, it serves as a clean feedstock for producing ammonia, methanol, and other chemicals. It is also used in power generation, helping to balance grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources.
Collaboration at CISCE
At the Clean Energy Chain Exhibition of the 2024 CISCE, exhibitors are showcasing their green hydrogen technologies alongside upstream and downstream partners. This collaborative approach highlights the integrated efforts to develop a comprehensive green hydrogen supply chain, from production to end-use applications.
Conclusion
The tech-driven advancements in the green hydrogen industry demonstrate the potential of clean energy solutions in addressing global energy challenges. The 2024 CISCE provides a platform for innovators, investors, and policymakers to explore the future of green hydrogen and its role in sustainable development.
