Nansha launches China's 1st energy station for solid-state hydrogen storage

The electric-hydrogen intelligent energy station on Nansha's Xiaohu Island covers an area of approximately 3,800 square meters. It's the first integrated hydrogen and renewable energy system in China, local media outlets reported on June 28.

It combines renewable energy generation, hydrogen production through water electrolysis, solid-state hydrogen storage, static hydrogen compression and fuel cell power generation with hydrogen refueling capabilities.

As a key project in creating a benchmark power supply bureau and a modern urban power grid, the project is being undertaken by Guangzhou Power Supply.

It will house the first solid-state hydrogen energy storage and hydrogen power system in China. It will achieve a complete process of converting clean energy from water electrolysis to solid-state hydrogen storage, hydrogen refueling, fuel cell power generation and surplus electricity grid connections.

Of note, the solid-connected hydrogen energy storage is a technology that converts green energy into stored hydrogen. It is characterized by its clean and pollution-free nature, high energy density, and long storage time, making it a global research focus.
