Due to the shortage of freshwater resources on the earth and the abundant seawater resources, with reserves accounting for 96.5% of the world's total water, the development of hydrogen production from seawater has gradually attracted attention and importance. Direct hydrogen production from seawater is based on natural seawater and is mainly produced through electrolysis or photolysis. It has the advantages of rich resources, environmental protection, high production efficiency, safety, etc., but it also faces the selection of catalysts, improvement of electrolysis efficiency, and corrosion resistance of equipment. sexual challenges. my country's coastal areas have abundant wind power resources. Adopting the "offshore wind power + green hydrogen" route is an effective way to transform energy and is also the main means of deep "decarbonization".
In 2018, Academician Xie Heping's team began to study the direct hydrogen production technology from seawater. After years of research, the team adopted a new idea that combines physical mechanics and electrochemistry to create a new principle and technology for in-situ direct electrolysis of hydrogen production without desalination of seawater and no additional energy consumption.
In 2023, China Dongfang Electric Group Co., Ltd. and Academician Xie Heping's team jointly conducted the world's first offshore wind power in-situ direct electrolysis hydrogen production technology pilot test without desalination of seawater, and achieved success. Overcoming the problem of "direct hydrogen production from seawater", which has long plagued the industry, is a particularly outstanding scientific research achievement. It effectively solves the problem of harmful corrosiveness, which has long plagued the field of seawater hydrogen production, and will open the door to low-cost production of green fuels. The door is expected to promote energy transformation towards a more sustainable development stage.
Suzhou Suqing Hydrogen Production Equipment Co., Ltd./Suzhou Suqing Hydrogen Energy Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Suzhou Suqing Hydrogen Energy) is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, design, and production of water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment. level technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises. Many years ago, we have cooperated with well-known domestic enterprises, top international universities and scientific research teams to lay out the field of non-traditional electrolysis water hydrogen production equipment, especially in the electrolysis of seawater hydrogen production, electrolysis of organic solutions to produce hydrogen and other gases and other special electrolysis processes. It has accumulated certain technology accumulation and research and development results, and successfully won the bid for Dongfang Electric's "100Nm³H2/h special alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment" procurement project in 2023. The success of this project will lay a solid foundation for Suqing hydrogen's technological diversification and product large-scale integrated development.
