On April 12, the "Green Energy and the Future of Industry" Xinjiang Green Energy Industry Development Expert Academic Exchange Conference jointly organized by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Association for Science and Technology and the China Energy News Agency was held in Urumqi.

The conference specially invited experts and investment institutions such as Li Can, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wushouer Slamu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, to discuss the healthy development of Xinjiang's hydrogen energy industry and the realization of the "double carbon" goal with the theme of professionalism and practicality. path.

Hydrogen energy is a secondary energy source with abundant sources, green, low-carbon, and widely used applications. It is known as one of the clean energy sources with the most development potential. This year's "Government Work Report" of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region clearly stated that "vigorously develop strategic emerging industrial clusters such as new energy and new materials, and accelerate the promotion of a number of 10 million kilowatts of new energy bases in Hami North, Zhundong, Kashgar, and Ruoqiang and the construction of four hydrogen energy industry demonstration zones including Urumqi, Ili, Karamay, and Hami, strive to reach 20 million kilowatts of new energy installed capacity throughout the year.”

As an organic component of Xinjiang's "eight industrial clusters", the hydrogen energy industry cluster plays an important role in the high-quality development pattern. It not only provides new momentum for the virtuous cycle of green energy production and consumption, but also provides an important guarantee for Xinjiang to cultivate the advantages of emerging industries. It will also effectively promote Xinjiang to achieve the "double carbon" goal.

A reporter from China Energy News learned that Xinjiang is currently seizing the development opportunities of the new energy industry, especially in terms of the layout of the hydrogen energy industry, focusing on the production of hydrogen from wind and solar consumption, hydrogen use in the industrial sector, equipment manufacturing, hydrogen energy storage and transportation, etc. Plan and implement a number of key projects, accelerate the construction of industrial advantages, and build a diversified hydrogen energy application ecosystem and a complete industrial system.

Jiao Xiang, director of China Energy Automobile Communications Group and executive deputy editor-in-chief of China Energy News, said in his speech that as one of the provinces and regions with the strongest energy resource endowment, Xinjiang has always been the focus of our concern, publicity and reporting. In 2023, investment in wind power photovoltaic power generation projects in Xinjiang will increase by 1.1 times compared with the previous year, maintaining rapid growth for 16 consecutive months. It has become a hot spot for new energy investment in the country. Especially in terms of hydrogen energy, Xinjiang has the world's largest photovoltaic power generation and green hydrogen project in Kuche. It has established four cities and prefectures including Karamay and Urumqi as the first batch of hydrogen energy industry development demonstration zones, and has issued a series of support and promotion policies and measures. Today, hydrogen energy, as the most promising industry among Xinjiang's new energy sources, is becoming more and more successful. "China Energy News is a party media and central media sponsored by the People's Daily. It shoulders the mission of disseminating the party's policies and propositions. It is also the only industry and economic public opinion position in China that focuses on the entire industry chain of the energy industry. In the future, we are willing to use more words to write the energy story of Xinjiang and the Belt and Road Initiative."

▲ Li Can, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered a speech

Li Can pointed out that through green hydrogen and liquid sunshine methanol, large-scale carbon dioxide resource conversion can be realized in the transportation and industrial fields (building materials, metallurgy, chemical industries, etc.); at the same time, the liquid sunshine methanol strategy can also promote economic development and achieve carbon neutrality goals. Xinjiang not only has abundant coal resources, but also has the advantage of abundant renewable energy resources, making it most suitable for the development of green hydrogen energy and liquid sunshine technologies.

▲ Wushou 'er Slamu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a speech

In his speech with the theme of smart energy, Wushouer Slamu said that we must focus on digital development, seize major historical opportunities for digital technology transformation, accelerate the application of independent innovation technologies, vigorously develop smart energy and its digital industry, and create an independent innovative, safe and reliable digital industry chain to continuously enhance economic innovation and competitiveness.

▲ Shu Yuying, a think tank expert at the China Academy of Energy Economics, delivered a speech

Shu Yuying, a think tank expert at the China Academy of Energy Economics, said that Xinjiang is the epitome of China's energy transformation and green development. The installed capacity of new energy in the first half of 2023 will be 10.5 times that of the same period in 2022, and the scale of new energy under construction will exceed 70 million kilowatts. Only through the construction of the "Belt and Road" energy corridor and based on Xinjiang's development can we continue to provide good Xinjiang solutions.

▲ Signing site

At the meeting, China Energy News and Xinjiang University signed a cooperation and co-construction agreement. The heads of both sides stated that in the future, they will give full play to their respective advantages, focus on the development of Xinjiang's energy industry, and contribute to the future sustainable development of Xinjiang's energy industry by launching a special training plan for Xinjiang's energy industry talents.

▲ Roundtable Forum

At the exchange meeting, experts actively exchanged experiences from multiple perspectives. The participating companies expressed their expectation that the company will contribute to the development of Xinjiang's energy industry. The event lasted for three days. Experts also conducted on-site inspections and surveys on the development of Xinjiang's green energy industry.
