en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the "Green Electricity Hydrogen Production and Natural Gas Hydrogen-Blending Comprehensive Test Platform," jointly built by Guofu Hydrogen and Towngas Group, was officially completed and put into operation at the Zhangjiagang base. Just one day prior, at the promotion meeting for the innovative and collaborative development pilot of the hydrogen energy industry along the riverside and coastal areas of Jiangsu, this project was signed centrally as a key hydrogen energy industry project in Suzhou. Witnessed by relevant leaders from national, provincial, and municipal energy authorities, it was incorporated into the pilot demonstration and promotion system, laying a solid foundation for the platform's subsequent operation and scenario expansion.
The platform relies on a 52,000-square-meter rooftop distributed photovoltaic system and alkaline electrolyzer hydrogen production at the Guofu Hydrogen Zhangjiagang base. Utilizing a follow-flow gas mixing process, it can achieve precise hydrogen blending into natural gas within a wide ratio range of 0% to 30%, with a maximum hydrogen blending capacity of 100 Nm³/h. The platform integrates four core modules: hydrogen production, pipeline gas mixing, combustion equipment, and data acquisition, primarily conducting hydrogen-blending condition verification, energy efficiency assessment, and cost calculation. In its first year of operation, it is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 1,144 tons, consuming approximately 2.16 million kWh of green electricity over the full cycle, providing crucial data support for the pricing mechanism, equipment adaptation, and promotion standard research of industrial natural gas hydrogen blending.
While achieving technological breakthroughs, market cooperation is also advancing simultaneously. Guofu Hydrogen signed a strategic agreement with Ami New Energy to prioritize providing EPC services for its wind and solar hydrogen production projects; it also partnered with Miura Industries to develop integrated solutions for hydrogen-blended and pure hydrogen combustion boilers. These collaborations will facilitate the translation of platform test data into practical industrial scenarios, accumulating experience for the large-scale application of natural gas hydrogen blending.
From the centralized signing at the provincial pilot promotion meeting to the platform's commissioning and industrial cooperation implementation at the completion ceremony, Guofu Hydrogen is accelerating its path of "technology R&D—demonstration verification—commercial application." As a full-industry-chain enterprise in China's hydrogen energy equipment sector, the company will continue to leverage its integrated advantages in "production, storage, transportation, refueling, and utilization," working with industry chain partners to promote hydrogen energy into more sectors and contribute to the realization of China's "dual carbon" goals.
