With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, hydrogen energy plays an indispensable and important role in industry, agriculture, transportation, food and other fields. At present, China has an annual demand for up to 30 million tons of hydrogen, and with the development of the international hydrogen energy technology industry, developed countries have long defined hydrogen energy as a national strategy. In the first half of this year, China also issued a hydrogen energy industry plan, and various ministries and commissions issued corresponding industrial support and preferential policies. At the same time as the provinces introduced corresponding policies, our province also issued corresponding policies on November 18, which will mean that a new energy science and technology revolution is under construction. In order to develop hydrogen energy technology, apply hydrogen energy products, and create a hydrogen energy society, the most important thing is to solve the problem of hydrogen source of living water at the source. However, the traditional hydrogen production uses coal gasification and methanol by-product hydrogen to meet market demand, that is, the so-called gray hydrogen and blue hydrogen. What we want is zero-pollution and clean green hydrogen, that is, through the production of renewable energy and green electricity, and the production of zero-carbon hydrogen through water electrolysis, so as to achieve a healthy and sustainable new energy. Chunhua hydrogen energy came into being precisely in this context of the times.

Chunhua Hydrogen Energy is the earliest high-tech enterprise in China focusing on hydrogen production by PEM water electrolysis. Since its establishment in 2015, Chunhua Hydrogen Energy has organized professionals to integrate the team technology of developed countries to carry out industrialization research. In 2018, it began to sell high-power products to the National Aerospace Science and Technology and other units, and continuously improved various technologies to improve product performance. On the basis of long-term technology accumulation and actual measurement and certification, we will realize the industrialization foundation of multi-model, high-power, large-scale and low-cost. It has basically realized localization, filled the industrial gap in the domestic industry at the earliest, and under the leadership of the company, a number of new PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production companies have been introduced.

PEM water electrolysis is a chemical reaction in which oxygen is produced at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode by electrolysis of water under the action of a catalyst. It can convert ordinary water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is the mainstream product for making green hydrogen, and will also make a great contribution to the dual carbon economy. The core component of PEM water electrolysis is the proton membrane water electrolyzer, which is the "heart" of the whole system, and the quality of the PEM water electrolyzer will affect the key factors such as hydrogen production efficiency, quality, purity, and hydrogen output pressure of the whole system. As a key project in Zhuzhou City, Chunhua Hydrogen Energy attracted investment, that is, Chunhua Hydrogen Energy Technology (Hunan) Co., Ltd. was established. The company is a PEM water electrolyzer equipment manufacturer and the main company of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production industrialization. Since the implementation of the project, the team has been organized to invest in R&D and production, and has now improved the industrialization process standards, realized the large-scale production system, and established international and domestic sales market channels. At present, the vast majority of hydrogen energy technology companies are still relying on policy support and financial venture capital support to achieve profitability and continue to expand the market.

Chunhua Hydrogen Energy participated in the formulation of national standards for the industry in the early days, and won many awards in science and technology competitions and industry selections, and is the founding inventor of PEM water electrolyzers in China. At present, the PEM water electrolyzer produced by the company has obtained a number of national invention patents, and the application technical indicators have reached the international advanced level. Independently master the core and key technologies of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production core materials, components and systems. Chunhua PEM water electrolyzer directly outputs high-pressure hydrogen (equal pressure, high differential pressure), has excellent characteristics such as high current density, miniaturization of the stack, easy integration, fast system response, adaptation to dynamic operation, high gas purity, high reliability and safety, simple, miniaturized and integrated system, easy operation and maintenance, etc. It has laid a solid foundation for Chinese manufacturing and brought huge development opportunities. PEM water electrolysis systems have a high-quality and reliable electrolyzer, which provides the basis for the production of green hydrogen. That is, there is a vast application space, such as renewable energy storage, fuel cells in the transportation industry and other fields will usher in huge development space. According to the current market research demand, the demand for water electrolysis in China alone has a market of more than one trillion yuan. Chunhua Hydrogen Energy is estimated to reach an output value of 35 billion yuan in 2030 in terms of industrial planning. At present, Chunhua Hydrogen Energy has obtained land and is preparing to build a 100,000-square-meter Chunhua Hydrogen Energy Technology Industry Demonstration Park to build the first "zero-carbon hydrogen city" in Hunan, improve the hydrogen energy industry chain, and create a new local green business card.

As the first technology enterprise in China focusing on hydrogen production from PEM water electrolysis, Chunhua Hydrogen Energy has an excellent corporate culture. Always take "developing hydrogen energy and building a hydrogen society" as the corporate mission; Pursue the values of "dedication, wisdom, ideals, perseverance, openness and sharing"; The company's vision is to be "the organizer of the industry, the owner of technology, the maker of standards, and the pioneer of the market". Chunhua Hydrogen Energy has never forgotten its original intention, developed the industry, and strived to create tax revenue and exports for the country, with the vision of becoming a global advanced comprehensive service provider for PEM electrolysis hydrogen production, so that China's hydrogen core can go to the world.
