At the 2024 China International Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Exhibition (referred to as 2024 China Hydrogen Energy Exhibition), the world-class green hydrogen ecological innovation zone "Hydrogen Island" project (hereinafter referred to as "Hydrogen Island" project) was officially released. National Energy Group will join hands with Ordos City in Inner Mongolia to build the world's leading green hydrogen energy project benchmark and the national West-east hydrogen transmission core node. It means that the national energy group integrates the industrial chain supply chain value chain, and the "two horizontal and one vertical" national green hydrogen energy industrial chain cluster layout is further further, and the hydrogen energy industry develops high-quality hydrogen energy new quality productivity and nurtures new momentum for green development.

Ouyang Minggao, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor of Tsinghua University; Steven Libbrecht, Executive Director of the International Hydrogen Energy Council; Huang Qing, Assistant General Manager and Secretary of the Board of Directors of the National Energy Group; Zhang Yi, Deputy Director of the China Center for International Economic and Technological Exchanges; James George, Deputy Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme in China; Li Yanjiang, Yang Aimin, Liu Yuezhen, Wang Laixiang, External Directors of the National Energy Group; Wu Jianxun, Deputy Mayor of Ordos Municipal People's Government; Zhang Weidong, Assistant Representative of the United Nations Development Programme in China; Yan Guochun, Deputy Chief Engineer and Director of Chemical Division of the National Energy Group; Xinhuanet President Shen Jiangying, Inner Mongolia Yijin Horuo Banner Committee secretary Wu Yun witnessed the release.

The 2024 Government Work report listed "vigorously promoting the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerating the development of new quality productivity" as the first task of the government this year, and proposed for the first time to accelerate the development of cutting-edge emerging hydrogen energy and other industries. Hydrogen energy is an important starting point to promote the "four revolutions, one cooperation", is an important direction to accelerate the construction of new quality productivity, and has become an important part of the national energy group to reshape the energy pedigree and develop new industries. Bearing the mission of accelerating the formation of new quality and productivity of hydrogen energy, the National Energy Group has fully established the development idea of large bases and large projects, and has continued to make efforts around the "green hydrogen energy industry chain" and "hydrogen energy innovation service chain", industry-based, coupled innovation, application traction, forward-looking layout, and key breakthroughs, and has accumulated green potential energy in the development of new industries.

As a large-scale, integrated, ecological and market-oriented green hydrogen project landing solution, the "Hydrogen Island" project aims to build a world-class green hydrogen ecological innovation zone in Ordos, relying on the rich resource base of Ordos, giving full play to the advantages of National Energy Group's multiple application scenarios, China Hydrogen Energy Alliance's ecological advantages and hydrogen energy key technology innovation advantages. Landing clean energy supply scenario, innovative hydrogen storage and transportation scenario, diversified application scenario and industrial service ecological scenario.

The "Hydrogen Island" project will create the world's leading renewable energy hydrogen production base, leading the development of hydrogen industry in scale, and ultimately achieving green hydrogen production capacity of more than 700 tons per day; Landing China's first green hydrogen key equipment testing demonstration base, fill the gap in domestic hydrogen technology, standard testing demonstration base, to achieve 3+ national key research and development plans landing; To build the world's first scientific and technological innovation demonstration base with hydrogen energy as the core to achieve scientific and technological leadership, China Hydrogen Energy Alliance Research Institute and the domestic innovation institutions represented by Academician Ouyang Minggao team to jointly build the world's leading technological innovation system; China will build an international demonstration cooperation platform for green hydrogen energy, jointly promote green hydrogen sustainable development demonstration with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the China International Economic and Tehnological Exchange Center, and continue to export international influence.

As a benchmark demonstration, the "Hydrogen Island" project is committed to creating cost benchmarks, storage and transportation benchmarks, scale benchmarks, and scene benchmarks, and plans to replicate and promote in Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang and other regions, and then rely on the international cooperation of the Belt and Road to land on a global scale, providing strong support for the construction of hydrogen energy industrial clusters with a trillion output value in China.
