On June 10, the National Energy Administration officially issued the "Notice on Organizing and Carrying out Hydrogen Energy Pilot Work in the Energy Field" (National Energy Comprehensive Technology [2025] No. 91) (hereinafter referred to as the "Pilot Work"), which clearly stated that the project pilot and regional pilot will drive the development of the entire chain of hydrogen energy "production, storage, transmission and use" and explore innovative models that can be replicated and promoted. As a leading company in the field of domestic hydrogen energy storage and fuel cell stationary power generation, Jiangsu Huade Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has implemented projects in multiple pilot directions and formed a demonstration effect with its technical accumulation and project practice, providing a reference solution for the industry.
1. Precise fit between policy orientation and corporate practice
This pilot work focuses on 11 core directions, covering four major links: hydrogen production, storage, transportation, application and common support. Huade Hydrogen Energy's technical layout and project cases are highly resonant with the requirements of the pilot work:
a. Long-term and long-term operation of hydrogen energy storage
The company's independently developed HyESS series hydrogen-electric energy storage system achieves cross-seasonal energy storage and full off-grid operation through a closed-loop design of "wind/solar power generation - hydrogen production - hydrogen storage - power generation and heating". For example, the large-scale HyESS-C industrial and commercial hydrogen energy storage system delivered to a central enterprise oil and gas group and a local state-owned energy enterprise from 2023 to 2024, and the small-scale HyESS-R household hydrogen energy storage system delivered in batches to overseas from 2024. Among them, the HyESS-R series has passed the CE certification of the authoritative third-party certification agency TÜV SÜD, which is the first certification of similar products worldwide, fully proving the company's forward-looking layout, technological accumulation and steady corporate style.
b. Comprehensive application in the energy field
In the hydrogen energy demonstration project located in Ningbo Port, Huade Hydrogen Energy's CarNeu series of large fuel cell fixed power generation systems participated in the construction of a "hydrogen-light complementary" smart microgrid, deeply coupling the fuel cell cogeneration system with photovoltaic power generation, covering construction sites, canteen bathrooms, tram charging and other scenes, and realizing the on-site consumption of green electricity and waste heat recovery. Similar practices have also been implemented in overseas countries such as India and South Korea. In the future, the company will successively deliver large-scale fixed power generation systems to Germany and Brazil to help local customers with comprehensive energy transformation.
c. Scale and integration
The company has always adhered to the integrated design of the "electricity-hydrogen" and "hydrogen-electricity" two-way processes. The PEM hydrogen production and PEM fuel cell power generation systems have all achieved positive independent research and development, production and manufacturing, and the overall system efficiency is provided through integrated design, which can provide "package, turnkey" full life cycle services for hydrogen-electricity coupling projects.
2. Technological breakthroughs and standard guidance
The pilot work emphasizes the advancement of technical equipment and standard verification. Huade Hydrogen Energy builds competitive barriers through three core technologies:
a. Full-chain independent research and development capabilities
From PEM electrolysis system to fuel cell power generation system, from intelligent energy management system to explosion-proof design, the company has achieved independent control of the core links of hydrogen energy storage equipment. For example, the battery stack customized for an overseas project adopts an ultra-low gas supply pressure design (2 bar at the front end and 0.2 bar inside the battery stack), and the hydrogen release ratio reaches 99%, significantly reducing the cost of hydrogen storage; the HyESS-C system can integrate hydrogen production, storage, and power generation functions in a 20-foot container through modular design, and supports multi-module parallel expansion, which greatly improves the efficiency of transportation and installation.
b. Safety and reliability verification
The system design strictly follows international standards. The CarNeu series fixed power generation system adopts explosion-proof partitions and multiple alarm mechanisms, and has passed more than 20 safety tests such as hydrogen leakage monitoring and smoke alarm. The HyESS-R system has passed the Machinery Safety Directive certification, and its dynamic algorithm can adaptively adjust the hydrogen production load according to photovoltaic power generation, effectively improving the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation.
c. Standards and certification first
The company's products implement the dual-track system of national and international standards. The HyESS-R series system can support the feasibility verification of multiple group standards. The TÜV SÜD CE certification obtained in 2025 not only paves the way for the product to enter the European market, but also feeds back to domestic technology iteration through rigorous testing.
3. Future Outlook: From Pilot to Scale-up
The National Energy Administration has made it clear that the pilot project will be completed and put into production within 3 years in principle, setting a clear timetable for the industry. Huade Hydrogen Energy will deepen its layout in three major paths:
a. Technology iteration and scenario extension
Continue to deepen the development of core components and system integration for hydrogen-electric long-term energy storage, adapt to 100-megawatt renewable energy hydrogen production projects; expand hydrogen fuel cell power supply and heating scenarios, and explore the coupling technology of fuel cells and other renewable energy sources.
b. Regional collaboration and model innovation
Join hands with partners to apply for regional pilot projects, build an integrated demonstration zone of "wind, light, hydrogen and storage" in the Yangtze River Delta, and explore green hydrogen consumption and cross-regional trading mechanisms.
c. Standard output and industrial ecology
Relying on pilot projects to promote the construction of hydrogen energy demonstration experimental platforms, jointly with universities and industrial chain partners to formulate hydrogen energy low-carbon transformation group standards, and create a closed-loop ecology of "technology research and development - equipment manufacturing - scenario application".
The pilot work of the National Energy Administration has injected new and strong momentum into the hydrogen energy industry, which will ignite new application scenarios of hydrogen energy beyond transportation. Huade Hydrogen Energy will deepen its application in the energy field, transform policy guidance into technological innovation and commercial implementation through more practices, and help achieve a large-scale breakthrough in the hydrogen energy industry.
In the future, the company will continue to focus on "hydrogen-electric coupling and zero-carbon future" and contribute to the construction of a new clean and low-carbon energy system driven by policy dividends and market demand.
