On July 29, 2021, Xingtai Xuyang hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd. was registered and established in Xingtai City, Hebei Province. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dingzhou Xuyang hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd., the company undertakes the important task entrusted by the hydrogen energy development of Xuyang Group. Xingtai Park of Xuyang Group follows the overall plan of the development of hydrogen energy industry of the group, taking the construction of hydrogenation station as a demonstration. Taking hydrogen energy demonstration and leading projects (mainly building gasification units, air separation units, hydrogen production plants, water treatment systems, gas generation gas purification systems and other public auxiliary facilities) as the follow-up industry, actively promoting the development of hydrogen energy industry is a landmark node, which shows that an important step has been taken in the development and utilization of hydrogen energy in Xingtai Park.

It is reported that the coke scale of Xingtai Park of Xuyang Group can supply about 550 million square meters of coke oven gas per year, including about 300 million square meters of direct hydrogen. Its 500kg/d hydrogenation station project has been built and is expected to be completed this year. Its hydrogen fuel replacement bus and heavy truck fuel consumption project can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2200 tons per year, which is equivalent to planting 122000 trees if each tree absorbs 18 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. In the next step, Xingtai Park also plans to build a 1000kg/d hydrogenation station in Xingtai City no later than 2023, actively carry out hydrogen energy strategic cooperation with automobile manufacturers in the region, promote the use of hydrogen fuel vehicles, fully participate in the hydrogen energy planning and layout of Xingtai City, and make positive contributions to the overall development of the hydrogen energy industry of Xuyang Group.

Since 2019, Xuyang Group, relying on its own advantages and actively integrating into the national carbon peak and carbon neutralization process, has set up a hydrogen energy department and a hydrogen energy company to promote the development of hydrogen energy in an orderly manner.

On February 18, 2019, a memorandum on strengthening economic cooperation and promoting project construction was formed with the people's Government of Dingzhou City, which proposed for the first time to build a hydrogen energy demonstration base in North China.

In March 2020, Dingzhou City approved the "request for instructions on the Construction of three-in-one Station of Hebei Xuyang Energy Co., Ltd." and agreed to the project of Hebei Xuyang Energy Co., Ltd. to build a three-in-one Station at the intersection of North Ring Road and Shengli Street in Dingzhou City.

On March 30, 2020, a strategic cooperation framework agreement on hydrogen production, storage and transportation and the construction and operation of hydrogen filling stations was signed with the people's Government of Dingzhou City. On the basis of Dingzhou, the two sides developed the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, national and international hydrogen energy markets to form a hydrogen energy industry chain, enhance the added value of hydrogen energy utilization, build Dingzhou and Xuyang hydrogen energy brands, and join hands to build hydrogen energy application demonstration cities.

On March 31, 2020, the Development and Reform Commission of Hebei Province issued the list of key projects of hydrogen Energy Industry in Hebei Province in 2020 (the first batch).

The service area radiates Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and other areas, mainly used in hydrogen vehicles, pharmaceutical intermediates, electronic semiconductor protective gas, industrial hydrogenation and other fields, fully ensuring the quality and quantity requirements of customers. It is proposed to build a 500kg/d trinity hydrogenation station in Dingzhou, which is expected to be completed in January 2021; the second phase of hydrogen purification in Dingzhou Park and the first phase of hydrogen purification in Xingtai Park are proposed; the first phase of hydrogen purification and hydrogenation stations in Yuncheng Park and Hohhot Park are being demonstrated. Cooperation agreements have been signed with a number of suppliers in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and strategic cooperation agreements have been signed with a number of well-known upstream and downstream companies, and a number of cooperation is under negotiation.

It is also understood that Xuyang Group is the world's largest independent coke producer and supplier, and its leading position in the industry enables it to integrate the development of hydrogen energy industry as a whole with more significant and unique advantages in terms of weather, geography, people and combination. It is mainly reflected in:

Policy advantage. The three-year Action Plan for the Cluster Development of hydrogen Energy Industry chain in Hebei Province (2020-2022) defines Xuyang Group as "Hebei hydrogen Energy Application demonstration Industrial Enterprise", which will speed up the construction of hydrogen energy demonstration cities in Zhangjiakou, Baoding and Dingzhou; support Dingzhou and other cities to actively carry out hydrogen energy application demonstration by making use of industrial by-product hydrogen resources and the local production advantages of Changan hydrogen bus. Support Xuyang Group and other enterprises to strengthen the comprehensive utilization of resources, speed up the layout and construction of industrial by-product hydrogen production projects, and strive to improve the technology of industrial by-product hydrogen purification based on the principle of nearby production and use. We will promote hydrogen purification projects in Xuyang Group's Dingzhou Park and Xingtai Park, and support the construction of hydrogen production plants and hydrogen processing stations. The implementation Plan for the Development of hydrogen Energy Industry in Beijing (2021-2025) (draft for soliciting opinions) clearly defines the layout of green hydrogen, blue hydrogen preparation, hydrogen energy vehicle and supporting industrial chain in Tianjin and Hebei, construction of a number of hydrogen source supply and supporting equipment manufacturing projects, including the hydrogen purification project of Xuyang Group. Shandong, Inner Mongolia and other local governments of Xuyang Group, where other coking parks are located, have also attached great importance to and fully supported the development of hydrogen energy industry in Xuyang related parks.

Resource advantage. Xuyang Group is currently operating coking scale of 12.1 million tons / year, which is expected to reach 30 million tons / year in 2025 and 60 million tons / year in 2030; correspondingly, the existing hydrogen resources are 2.66 billion tons / year, hydrogen resources are expected to exceed 6.5 billion tons / year in 2025, and hydrogen resources are expected to exceed 13 billion tons / year in 2030.

Cost advantage. Xuyang Group has the natural endowment of the industry chain for hydrogen production from coke oven gas, and the cost of hydrogen production is only 0.7-1.0 yuan per square meter, which is lower than that of coal and much lower than that of other hydrogen production costs.

Low carbon advantage. The production of high purity hydrogen from coke oven gas emits only 4.54 kilograms of carbon dioxide per kilogram, which is clean hydrogen according to the standard issued by the China hydrogen Energy Alliance.

Regional advantage. The layout of the coking and hydrogen energy guarantee bases of Xuyang Group is highly consistent with that of the national hydrogen energy gathering area; the coking parks of Xuyang Group plan to build regional hydrogen energy guarantee bases and comprehensive hydrogenation stations; the hydrogen supply of the first phase of Dingzhou hydrogen Energy guarantee Base, which has been put into production by Xuyang Group, covers Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

Quality advantage. Tested and identified by third-party metrological testing technology research institutions, the quality of high purity hydrogen products of Xuyang Group is stable, the qualified rate is 100%, the product purity is more than 99.999%, and the 14 trace element indexes of the products are all better than the GB/T3634.2-2011 standard.

The advantage of process linkage switching. Hydrogen energy of Xuyang Group uses industrial by-product gas as raw material to produce methanol and synthetic ammonia through primary purification and high purity hydrogen and fuel cell hydrogen through secondary purification, which can be flexibly arranged according to market demand.

For the long-term development of hydrogen energy in the future, Xuyang Group has formed a relatively mature plan to pay close attention to the opportunities for the explosion of hydrogen energy under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, and has determined the strategic orientation of "to undertake the energy strategy of the group, help carbon neutralization, and create a new business growth pole". The "one one, two four" development ideas of "first line (system-storage-transportation-addition-use), one network (radiating the national intelligent hydrogen energy supply network), two wings (technology + service) and four stages" are put forward.

First line: vertically open up the upstream and downstream industrial chain of hydrogen production-hydrogen storage-hydrogen transport-hydrogenation (hydrogenation station)-hydrogen (fuel cell vehicle).

One net: horizontally build a smart hydrogen energy supply network that radiates the whole country and even East Asia.

Two wings: master the key core technology of hydrogen energy + provide high-quality hydrogen energy supply services.

Four stages: national layout, step by step, to gradually build Xuyang Group into a clean and low-carbon energy supplier, energy ecosystem integrator, advanced energy technology developer and energy transformation excellent service provider.

The first stage is to build a clean and low-carbon energy supplier. Give full play to its location advantages and take the opportunity of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games to focus on the rapid development of hydrogen energy in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shandong, Yangtze River Delta and other rapidly developing areas for multi-regional system-storage-transportation-hydrogenation demonstration. Xuyang Group will be built into a strategic supplier of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei hydrogen energy, Xiongan hydrogen energy strategic supplier and regional clean low-carbon hydrogen energy strategic supplier.

The second stage is to build an energy ecosystem integrator. Find suitable fuel cell bus / bus, fuel cell logistics and fuel cell heavy truck operators to carry out in-depth cooperation to integrate the whole industry chain of manufacture, storage, transportation, addition and use, so as to realize hydrogen-station-vehicle hydrogen energy closed loop. and then build Xuyang Group into a low-carbon transportation ecosystem integrator. According to the guarantee conditions such as the government hydrogen energy policy, development planning and financial support where the Xuyang parks are located, actively layout and build hydrogen energy town / industrial park projects, especially through the coordination of all parties, relying on the unique location advantages and high purity hydrogen production capacity of hydrogen energy parks such as Dingzhou and Xingtai, strive to achieve the hydrogen demonstration of Xiongan New area, and build Xuyang Group into a distributed hydrogen energy ecosystem integrator.

The third stage is to build advanced energy technology developers. Develop liquid hydrogen technology: introduce advanced liquid hydrogen production technology or cooperate with several liquid hydrogen technology providers worldwide to shape Xuyang Group as an integrator and provider of domestic liquid hydrogen technology. gradually realize large-scale liquid hydrogen production, long-distance transportation and low-cost filling Develop photovoltaic hydrogen production technology: acquire foreign or domestic manufacturers with advanced technology for hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and carry out integrated and demonstration operation of photovoltaic hydrogen production by water electrolysis in areas rich in solar energy resources, such as Baoding and Xingtai in the west of Hebei Province. carry on the necessary technical reserve for the development of green hydrogen for Xuyang Group, and accelerate Xuyang Group to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutralization ahead of time. Develop key material technology for hydrogen energy: give full play to the advantages of Xuyang Group in chemical materials and capital resources, and develop or merge the key components of fuel cell and water electrolysis hydrogen production system, including large tow carbon fiber, high conductivity and large specific surface area activated carbon, wide temperature resistant ionic membrane, low load and high performance precious metal catalyst, etc., and become a developer of hydrogen energy technology and materials.

The fourth stage is to create excellent service providers for energy transformation. In the process of shaping clean and low-carbon energy suppliers, energy ecosystem integrators and advanced energy technology developers, we should refine their common characteristics and actively explore profitable and replicable business operation models. thus become a carbon-neutral energy transformation integration solution provider, and eventually build Xuyang Group into an excellent service provider for energy transformation.

In order to promote the above strategic positioning and development ideas, Xuyang Group focuses on the overall layout of the whole industry chain, focusing on Dingzhou comprehensive hydrogen supply, Xingtai comprehensive hydrogen supply, Hohhot comprehensive hydrogen supply, Baoding comprehensive hydrogen supply, Beijing comprehensive hydrogen supply, Zhangjiakou comprehensive hydrogen supply and Tangshan port firewood hydrogen conversion, etc. systematic planning arrangements have also been made for the company's key hydrogen energy projects. In the near future, the construction of the second phase of Dingzhou Park and the first phase of high purity hydrogen and hydrogenation stations in Xingtai Park, Yuncheng Park and Hohhot Park will be launched one after another; through the construction of hydrogenation stations and the development of liquid hydrogen demonstration and hydrogen energy pipelines, create Xingtai-Shijiazhuang-Dingzhou-Baoding-Beijing hydrogen supply corridor and Dingzhou-Xiongan hydrogen supply corridor to protect low-carbon hydrogen energy for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and accelerate the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutralization in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. As a resource integrator and relevant leading enterprises, we will jointly establish a fuel cell system company and jointly develop hydrogen energy heavy trucks, build a fixed transportation operation scene of Xingtai-Dingzhou-Tangshan chemical products, and carry out diesel-to-hydrogen demonstration operation in key areas of Hebei, such as Tangshan, Baoding and Shijiazhuang, to reduce carbon emissions from transportation system.

To sum up, with the demonstration project of high purity hydrogen production and hydrogen filling station as the starting point, Xuyang Group actively incubates hydrogen energy plate, builds hydrogen energy base and builds hydrogen energy brand through overall planning, rational layout and steady development. the early formation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei hydrogen energy supply circle to achieve hydrogen energy supply to southeastern Hebei and southwestern Shandong, and then with the national layout and global expansion of Xuyang cause, we will continue to expand the territory of Xuyang hydrogen energy. Build a national and global hydrogen energy supply network, and carry out joint ventures and cooperation with upstream and downstream industries to extend the hydrogen energy industry chain, increase the added value of hydrogen energy, strengthen industrial synergy, and create excess value benefits. At the same time, according to the conservative expectation that the annual hydrogen supply capacity of Xuyang Group will exceed 13 billion square meters in 2030, it will achieve an annual reduction of 10.9 million tons of carbon dioxide, which will greatly promote the green and low-carbon development of the industry and make an important contribution to the strategic implementation of the national "3060" dual-carbon target.
