Recently, Linde, one of the world’s leading industrial gases and engineering companies, announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Shanghai Electric Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shanghai Electric Power”). Carry out all-round cooperation in order to establish a model of cooperation in the Chinese market in terms of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) and low-carbon gas applications, and contribute to the promotion of clean energy transformation and the realization of the “double carbon” goal. contribute.
At present, under the macro background of coping with climate challenges and promoting the realization of “dual carbon” goals, the development of my country’s hydrogen energy industry is accelerating. In the Medium and Long-Term Plan for Hydrogen Energy Industry Development (2021-2035) issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, it is clearly pointed out that hydrogen energy is an important part of the future national energy system and an important carrier for energy-using terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation. In this context, based on a high degree of consensus on the considerable development opportunities of China’s hydrogen energy ecosystem, Linde and Shanghai Electric Power decided to integrate the superior resources and technologies of both parties, and jointly carry out exploration and application practice.
According to the strategic cooperation agreement, the areas of cooperation between the two parties will cover the entire industrial chain of hydrogen energy and renewable energy and its upstream and downstream links. The two parties will give full play to their respective advantages and carry out all-round cooperation around hydrogen resource development, hydrogen refueling station engineering and equipment, hydrogen refueling station layout construction and operation and maintenance, and realize complementary advantages and resources within the scope of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain , to promote win-win cooperation; at the same time, the two parties will fully develop and utilize renewable energy power to provide energy support for downstream green chemical projects; in addition, the two parties will also jointly carry out carbon capture, storage and utilization, and hydrogenation of gas turbines and other low-carbon gases Applied technical demonstration and application practice provide innovative technical reserves for the sustainable transformation of society.
In response to this strategic cooperation, Lin Hua, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai Electric Power Co., Ltd. said: “Currently, the country is vigorously promoting the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry, and building a technologically advanced, efficient and complete local hydrogen energy industry chain has become an important In this regard, Shanghai Electric is very pleased to have achieved a strategic cooperation with Linde, which has the professional capabilities and global experience in the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, and hopes that the strong cooperation between the two parties can add strong impetus to the development of China’s hydrogen energy industry .”
In this regard, Linde Global Executive Vice President and Asia Pacific CEO Pan Keqiang (John
Panikar said: “Linde has always been committed to becoming a partner of the whole industry chain of China’s hydrogen energy market and an active promoter of clean energy transformation. Shanghai Electric’s forward-looking layout and excellent technical capabilities in hydrogen energy and the entire new energy field, This makes us full of confidence in this strategic cooperation. We look forward to this cooperation not only bringing about a win-win situation for both parties, but also bringing more benefits to the long-term vision of sustainable transformation of the whole society.”
