In the second phase of the Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park in the Dalian Area of the China (Liaoning) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Mix Technology (Dalian) Co Ltd’s hydrogen fuel cell powertrain project is set to establish itself as a leading domestic research and development center and a large-scale production base for fuel cell powertrains. Dalian’s clean energy industry is booming.

In recent years, Dalian has focused on building a new energy system, optimizing its energy structure, and emphasizing project implementation to continuously increase power generation capacity. In 2023, non-fossil fuel energy accounted for 73.8 percent of Dalian's total power generation.

As a key supporter of the integrated energy base in Northeast China, encompassing wind, solar, thermal, nuclear, and storage, Dalian is leveraging its resource advantages and accelerating the development of wind, solar, and nuclear power. Guided by policies, the city is rapidly planning and deploying energy projects to advance its clean energy agenda.

The Zhuanghe Offshore Wind Power Base and the Wafangdian Onshore Wind Power Base have already taken shape. Additionally, the province's first tidal flat photovoltaic demonstration project is set to be completed and operational in Pulandian district within the year.

Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station, the largest operational nuclear power station in China by installed capacity and the first of its kind in Northeast China, is now fully operational.

The largest vanadium flow battery energy storage project in China, the Dalian Flow Battery Energy Storage Peak-shaving Power Station National Demonstration Project Phase I, has been completed and is now commercially operational. Three grid-friendly wind farms have become the first in the province to integrate vanadium flow battery storage facilities.

Dalian's vanadium flow battery technology is internationally leading, with the installed capacity of projects under construction and operational accounting for 60 percent of the global market share for similar products. Dalian also holds a commanding 90 percent share in global vanadium electrolyte sales, exporting to countries and regions including Japan, the United States, and Europe.

In the hydrogen energy industry, Dalian leverages its strong capabilities in independent innovation, a complete industrial chain, abundant low-cost hydrogen resources, and diverse demonstration application scenarios. This has resulted in the formation of a comprehensive industrial chain covering hydrogen production, storage, transportation, refueling, and application in vehicles and ships.

The Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the pioneering research institution in China for hydrogen energy utilization. It has incubated numerous innovative enterprises and serves as the cradle for the country's hydrogen fuel cell technology. The institute has achieved significant results in core technologies such as fuel cell catalysts, proton exchange membranes, membrane electrodes, bipolar plates, stacks, and systems, establishing a comprehensive and internationally leading domestic technology route for hydrogen energy utilization.

Since 2020, Dalian has developed a comprehensive hydrogen energy industry chain encompassing production, storage, transportation, refueling, and utilization.

Regarding hydrogen production, Dalian has the capability to supply large-scale, low-cost industrial by-product hydrogen, supporting the full-load operation of 7,000 buses. Additionally, the city possesses the capacity for large-scale green hydrogen production through water electrolysis.

In terms of hydrogen refueling, Dalian has constructed six hydrogen stations and is currently building seven more, placing it among the top in the country.

On the application front, the first batch of 60 hydrogen fuel cell buses, independently developed and equipped with locally produced key components, has been operating stably for nearly three years. Additionally, over 300 hydrogen fuel cell trucks, buses, and sanitation vehicles will soon be put into operation.

The city actively promotes various hydrogen energy application scenarios. Over 300 hydrogen fuel cell cargo trucks that have been mass-produced are scheduled to be officially put into operation. Liaoning Port Co Ltd in the Dalian area is continuously advancing the construction of a green port, gradually implementing scenarios for clean energy tractors, electric tractors, and dump trucks.

A 15-meter hydrogen fuel cell ship, jointly developed and built by Dalian Maritime University, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, and Mix Technology (Dalian) Co Ltd, has completed its launch trial and is about to start demonstration operations. Future plans include demonstrating hydrogen ships for tourism and coastal official duties.
