The shipping industry is responsible for more than 80% of global trade transportation tasks, and its greenhouse gas emissions account for about 3% of global emissions. Ship emission reduction has become an important entry point for accelerating the green transformation of the shipping industry, and zero-emission hydrogen energy has become an important option for accelerating the decarbonization of the shipping industry.

In recent years, with the development of fuel cell technology and the improvement of hydrogen refueling facilities in my country, the characteristics of hydrogen-powered vehicles, such as fast refueling speed and suitability for long-distance heavy-load transportation, are becoming more prominent.

Recently, a hydrogen-powered logistics vehicle completed a 1,300-kilometer long-distance transportation mission from the Beijing Daxing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone to the Yangtze River Delta (Jiaxing) Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park. Earlier in April, a 49-ton hydrogen-powered heavy truck also completed a 1,500-kilometer long-distance transportation test from Beijing to Shanghai, proving that my country's hydrogen-powered vehicles have achieved large-scale, long-distance, and cross-regional actual transportation.

For a long time, in the competition with electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles have not been challengers, but rather market supplementers. Because in the passenger car market, which accounts for the majority of automobile sales, pure electric or hybrid models powered by lithium batteries are the absolute mainstream, fuel cell vehicles seem to have to find another way to break through in the commercial vehicle field.

So, will the car companies that have not given up the hydrogen energy technology route really abandon the large passenger car market? The situation is not so pessimistic. In the fuel cell passenger car market, in addition to Toyota and Hyundai, which launched mass-produced models in previous years and have a strong development momentum (well-received but not popular), giants such as BMW have also begun to try recently and released a hydrogen car mass production plan.

As the green hydrogen industry develops in the direction of large-scale and high-efficiency, the importance of hydrogen power supply as a key power conversion device in the electrolysis of water hydrogen production system is becoming increasingly prominent.

How should the green hydrogen project choose the hydrogen power supply? Industry insiders believe that this depends on the needs of the owner, including the project scale, initial investment, later operating costs, and the adaptability of different electrolyzers.
