During the Smart Energy Week 2024 H₂& FC EXPOhosted in TokyoBig Sight International Exhibition Center on 28thFeb, Sungrow Hydrogen has received extensive attention and praise with the world debut of its 300Nm³/h PEMwaterelectrolyzer and the grand release of the flexible hydrogen production solution.
The newlyreleased 300Nm³/h PEM water electrolyzer from SungrowHydrogennot only breaks through the record of hourly hydrogen yield per PEM stack in the Chinese domestic marketbut also catches up with the international advanced level in a number of key indicators.
The operation pressure has reached up to 3.5MPa with the adaptation of Sungrow Hydrogen''s patented sailing structure, the original creation of the integrated structure and multi-functional flow channel design make the rated DC power consumption less than 4.15kwh/Nm³ H₂, the wide regulation range from 5% to 110%, and loadregulationrate 10%/sshows significant advantages in scenarios that require higher dynamic performance adjustment. Furthermore, multi-gradient coating structures with better corrosion resistance have enhanced the designed lifetime of the product.

Hydrogen produced by Sungrow’s flexible green hydrogen production technology is world-renowned
In the current green hydrogen market, flexible green hydrogen production technology can better adapt to the fluctuations of PV and wind energy, and maintain stable operation under a low power load, which has been applied in numerous centralized ALK hydrogen production scenarios as well as distributed PEM hydrogen production scenarios.
Sungrow Hydrogen creatively adjustsits own Intelligent Hydrogen Management System into dynamic scenarios,vividly deducinghow the flexible green hydrogen production system powered by renewable energy can achieve "load with source" and "cluster control" under the working conditions of multiple scenarios and variable powerso thatitachievesoptimal operation.
At this event, the leading flexible green hydrogen production technology and core competitiveness of the new-generation electrolyzer from Sungrow Hydrogen shine on the international stage. Looking forward to the future, Sungrow Hydrogen will pursue innovation with keen determination and provide customers around the world with more powerful, flexible, green hydrogen production solutions that provide many benefits to businesses.
China''s electrolysis market has experienced explosive growth in the past six months, in the tailwind of green hydrogen bloom.[Read More: Our previous update on the Chinese green hydrogen market]
By the end of Aug 2021, there are already more than 70 power-to-gas projects under development in China, as Energy Iceberg’s green hydrogen database shows. Notably, several regional governments like Hebei and Inner Mongolia have announced more than ten power-to-gas projects in one attempt in the past two months, as Beijing confirmed national fundings for the FCV demonstration.
The explosive development is primarily due to China’s renewable policy changes, as we repeatedly predicted in our policy analysis. The energy regulator has required new renewable construction to develop matching energy storage solutions, of which power-to-gas is one of the favoured options. This emphasis on renewable-plus-storage has become the key driving factor of the green hydrogen upstream development.
However, the upstream gas market development still has many unresolved questions, including gas transportation solutions and the downstream gas application scenarios. Uncertainties in these areas remain a hanging cloud over the economics of China’s power-to-gas projects, which could reach 100 by the end of this year.
The green hydrogen hype provides strong momentum for investing in electrolysis technology and manufacturing, as many equipment suppliers have noticed. As we observe, a significant amount of Chinese energy players—from solar, wind equipment, petrochemical engineering to aerospace technology—have swarmed into the area hoping to get a head-start.
The market shares a shocking similarity to that of photovoltaic manufacturing around 2010 when Chinese OEMs have emerged and eventually became the dominant supplier in the global arena. The participation of Chinese manufacturers has also been a key factor in the global solar price drop.
Now, the question is whether the electrolysis market will see the same “China effect” in the next decade?
China has the world’s largest hydrogen production market, where the renewable-based gas source has a tiny share so far. In 2020, total gas production is at 25 mt/a, of which less than 3% was renewable-based electrolysis and photolysis.
The total gas supply and the demand for green hydrogen have been significantly increasing. In the first half of 2021, the total hydrogen gas production has jumped 25% YoY, while the share of green hydrogen increased 30%, according to China Hydrogen Energy Industry Promotion Association (CN-HEIPA).
Besides renewable green hydrogen, China’s gas supply comes from coal gasification, hydrocarbon & methanol reforming, and industry by-product gas. And in terms of high-purity hydrogen gas, industry by-product gas—tail gas from coke ovens, alkaline production and petrochemical projects like propane dehydrogenation (PDH)—is currently a rising solution.
Previously, the industry commonly expected the industry by-products to serve as the primary gas source in the next decade, whilst green hydrogen could bloom after 2030. But the recent development suggests that both sectors are likely to see significant expansion in the coming ten years.
The electrolyzer market is backed by the tailwind of surging power-to-gas demand.
China has not set up any national policy target for gas production. The future gas demand is highly correlated to Beijing''s policies regarding fuel cell applications, which are not yet fully established. Therefore, it is challenging to predict precisely the gas demand—especially after 2030.
The BloombergNEF second-quarter outlook recently estimated that the Chinese electrolyzer shipments by the end of 2021 would double the 2020 size. The analysis also believes that the Chinese shipments would reach 1.8GW by the end of 2022.
The Chinese electrolyzer market would account for 60%-63% of the global installation, the firm predicts.
Still, we believe that this estimation might be on the modest side, based on the power-to-gas project development data that we have registered.
China''s hydrogen gas demand for 2025, 2030, and 2050 are estimated at 35.5 million, 37.15, and 97 million metric tons, according to the Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry White Paper (2020) by China Hydrogen Alliance.
