Significant increase in hydrogen transport radius and
effective reduction in hydrogen transport costs
(18 Sep 2023, Hong Kong) — CIMC Enric Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CIMC Enric” or “Company”) (Hong Kong stock code: 3899.HK) are pleased to announce that CIMC Hydrogen Energy High-pressure Gas Hydrogen Division of the Company, namely Shijiazhuang Enric Gas Equipment Company Limited, has successfully rolled out China's first 30MPa Carbon Fiber Winding Tube Bundle Hydrogen Container (30MPa Hydrogen Tube Bundle Container) and secured batch orders and production. The 30MPa Carbon Fiber Winding Tube Bundle Hydrogen Container off the production line has set a new record for domestic high-pressure hydrogen transport equipment carrying capacity, the economic transport radius of domestic high-pressure hydrogen will be doubled, and the hydrogen transport cost will be greatly reduced.
CIMC Hydrogen Energy High-pressure Gas Hydrogen DivisionCIMC Enric took the lead in completing the type test of 30MPa winding hydrogen cylinders, and obtained the certificate of type test. It also passed the validation tests conducted by the customer and ,earned full recognition. With more than two years of meticulous work, the Company has successfully launched the 30MPa Carbon Fiber Winding Tube Bundle Hydrogen Container, which significantly improves the carrying capacity and unloading volume of high-pressure hydrogen single-vehicle, doubles the economic transport radius compared to 20MPa transport vehicles, and significantly reduces the transport costs.
Apart from achieving record-breaking storage and transport efficiency for domestic high-pressure bundled containers, the unique structure of the 30MPa Hydrogen Tube Bundle container meets the needs of filling and unloading of hydrogen refueling stations with multiple pressure levels, thereby effectively contributing to the expansion of hydrogen energy application scenarios both domestically and internationally. Additionally, this product is the first in China to be equipped with an intelligent cut-off system, which monitors the temperature and pressure of hydrogen in the cylinder in real-time, greatly enhancing safety performance.
Hydrogen storage and transport play pivotal roles in the development of the hydrogen industry. Presently, high-pressure gaseous transport remains the primary mode of hydrogen transport. With the increasing demand for cost reduction across the hydrogen energy industry chain, storage and transportation have emerged as key focal points for cost reduction efforts.
The Executive Director and President of CIMC Enric, Mr. Yang Xiaohu, said, “The successful launch, acquisition of batch orders and production of the 30MPa Hydrogen Tube Bundle Container are important breakthroughs for both the Company and the industry. Efficiency improvement and cost reduction in hydrogen storage and transport will help boost the commercialization of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain, especially the development of end-use applications. As a leader in the field of hydrogen energy storage and transport, the Company has been committed to achieving technological breakthroughs in high-pressure gas hydrogen, liquid hydrogen and other multi-paths. In the future, we will also continue to innovate and overcome the difficulties in the field of hydrogen energy storage and transport equipment, leading the industry development continuously.”
