Recently, the State Electric Power Corporation held a "Green Future" Media Day and 2020 Social Responsibility Report Conference in Beijing. At the meeting, Deputy Secretary of the Party Group of State Power Investment, director Zubin highlighted the state power investment into the "Green Power Transport" field.

Since 2017, the state power investment has entered the field of "green power traffic" and carried out a series of practice and exploration. At present, there are two main achievements: the first is to replace the electric energy represented by the electric heavy card, and the second is to replace the hydrogen energy with the hydrogen fuel cell and system as the core.

1.the construction of electric energy transportation to replace the ecological circle represented by electric heavy truck

At present, the development of new energy vehicles has entered the fast lane. As of June 2020, there are 270 million cars in China, of which 73.3% are private cars and 10.9% are trucks, about 29.4 million are trucks. Since 2009, China has been leading the world in the promotion of new energy vehicles. However, due to technical reasons, slow progress has been made in the replacement of electrical energy for more energy-consuming and emission-emitting freight vehicles, especially heavy trucks (one heavy truck has the emissions equivalent to 300 cars) , with domestic electric heavy trucks only gradually starting to be sold in 2019.

Currently, there are 10 million heavy trucks in China, of which one million are used for short fall scenes. The company, which entered the field in early 2017, is a firm integrator of fusion and leasing, building an ecosystem of electric heavy duty trucks and construction machinery, and taking the lead in vehicle manufacturers and core component companies such as Valin Automobile, Ningde Times and Jiuhang energy, research and development of the world's first electric heavy card and introduced to the market. Currently, the members of the "Rubik's Cube family" of state power exchange have covered 34 types of construction machinery products such as electric exchange heavy trucks, forklifts, forklifts, etc. , all-round matching of power plants, ports, steel plants, mining areas, urban soil, cement mixing scene of electric application requirements.

By the end of last year, the State Power Investment Corporation had replaced electric heavy trucks and construction machinery more than 5,000 units, distributed in Beijing, Shanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu, Shaanxi and other places, with a cumulative operating mileage of more than 6 million kilometers. The layout of the national power exchange signed 66, charging facilities in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other 14 provinces and cities, of which 11 completed and delivered power exchange.

State Power Investment will further increase the transport and logistics industry to replace the investment in Green Energy. State Power Investment has set up Qiyuan Power Company to strengthen the research and development of core technologies such as battery and battery management system, to provide charging service, and to provide comprehensive green transportation solutions for users. By 2025, the company plans to invest a total of 115 billion yuan, promote 200,000 heavy trucks, 370,000 other types of vehicles, 4,000 new power stations and 228,000 new batteries.

2.Promoting the development of hydrogen transportation with hydrogen fuel cell and system as the core

Hydrogen fuel cell has been identified as an important technology path for the sustainable development of global energy. At the end of last year, China sold a total of 7,352 hydrogen vehicles, 127 hydrogen filling stations were built. In September 2020, five ministries and commissions jointly issued the notice on the demonstration and application of fuel cell vehicles, and relevant support policies were promulgated in various places, bringing unprecedented opportunities for the development of the hydrogen energy automobile industry.

In 2017, state power investment entered the field of hydrogen energy, building hydrogen energy and hydrogen equipment two main lines of business, especially hydrogen fuel cell equipment independent research and development and manufacturing. State Power Investment Hydrogen Energy Company after 3 years of research and development, has become one of the few domestic companies to master the fuel cell industry chain independent core technology. September 27 last year, the hydrogen fuel cell and system products-"hydrogen Teng" brand officially released, its key technologies and product materials to achieve full autonomy, the indicators reached the leading domestic level. The company has developed its own hydrogen fuel cells and systems for use in unmanned aerial vehicles, which have been used in China's COMAC's first vertical loaded unmanned aerial vehicle.

At present, State Power Investment signed project agreement with China Zhongche, China COMAC and many other customers, sales 40 sets of fuel cell system, and reached 400 sets (sets) purchase intention orders, the product has entered the industrialization promotion phase. State Power Investment is located in Beijing, Ningbo pilot production lines have formed 1000 per year production capacity and supply capacity, and in Ningbo, Wuhan, the start-up of 10,000 production lines.

State power investment is increasing the development and promotion of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. In early 2020, the 12-meter hydrogen fuel cell city bus jointly developed with China CRRC came off the line in Ningbo with a range of 600 kilometers. In December 2020, the 11 meter hydrogen passenger bus jointly developed by state power investment and China CRRC entered the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, announcing that 10 passenger buses will be put into service respectively at the 2021 Bo'ao Forum and the Jilin hydrogen transportation demonstration, put 20 buses to serve the hydrogen energy transportation in Ningbo.

State power investment is in Beijing, Hubei, Zhejiang, Jilin and other provinces and cities automobile manufacturers to carry out strategic cooperation. By the end of 2021,500 hydrogen fuel cells are expected to be rolled out. Around 2025, with the fuel cell cost greatly reduced and the hydrogenation network gradually completed, the application of the national power investment hydrogen fuel cell in the automobile will enter the large-scale commercial development stage.
