Main content of the policy

Sichuan Province has recently released a number of major policies to support the development of the hydrogen energy industry. The main contents are as follows: The “14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development of Sichuan Province” released in early March this year clearly put forward the focus on promoting hydrogen energy and new energy storage. Industrial Development. Focusing on hydrogen energy and new energy storage, efforts should be made to promote the development of emerging energy technologies and equipment, and focus on key technologies, core materials, equipment manufacturing and other shortcomings, establish a technology research and development platform, and increase core technology research. Docking with the national hydrogen energy plan, focusing on seizing the opportunities for future industrial development, coordinating the layout of the hydrogen energy industry, and promoting breakthroughs in hydrogen energy technology in preparation, storage and transportation, filling, and application. Support the construction of hydrogen energy demonstration projects in Chengdu, Panzhihua, Zigong, etc., and explore the multi-scenario application of hydrogen fuel cells.

Specific plans for green development

On May 23, the General Office of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the “Implementation Plan on Promoting the Green Development of Urban and Rural Construction”. In the plan, it is emphasized that the construction of new energy vehicle charging and swapping stations (piles), gas stations, hydrogen stations, distributed energy stations and other facilities should be accelerated. Prior to this, on May 19, the Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau and other 8 departments jointly issued the “Chengdu Hydrogen Refueling Station Construction and Operation Management Measures (Trial)”, which confirmed the Chengdu Economic and Information Bureau as the city’s hydrogen refueling station project. Municipal industry management department. The development and reform department is responsible for the approval (filing) of hydrogen refueling stand-up items. The ecological environment department is responsible for environmental impact assessment, supervision and management of environmental protection completion acceptance, etc. The measures also propose that, in principle, hydrogen refueling stations operating externally should be located in commercial service land, and clearly formulate detailed procedures for land use approval, project approval, planning approval, and construction approval that need to be performed during the construction and operation of hydrogen refueling stations. At the same time, it is clearly stipulated that when the hydrogen refueling station is operating, the owner unit should obtain the “Gas Cylinder Filling License”, and must establish a quality and safety traceability system for hydrogen cylinders for vehicles.

Main effect

The introduction of the above industrial policies and specific implementation plans has played a positive role in promoting the rapid development of the hydrogen energy industry in Sichuan Province, accelerating the pace of “resumption of work and production” in the hydrogen energy industry after the epidemic, and promoting the hydrogen energy industry in Sichuan Province. The forefront of the development of the hydrogen energy industry in the country.
