Research on the Supply and Demand Balance and Development of Green Hydrogen in China
In order to support the healthy and balanced development of green hydrogen and to promote the planning and deployment of green hydrogen projects in China,this study constructed a green hydrogen supply and demand balance model using Python,with the principle of minimizing the total supply cost.Based on the results of the model,resource assessment and analysis of the economic flow of green hydrogen were conducted.The study indicates that China possesses abundant wind and solar resources as well as sufficient land resources,with Ningxia being the only region with water stress where wind and solar resources are favorable for large-scale hydrogen production.However,China's efficient water transfer system has prevented water scarcity from impacting local industrial and agricultural development.The main regions for green hydrogen supply include Inner Mongolia,Qinghai,Gansu,and Ningxia,with the economic flow moving from the northwest and northeast regions to the north,central,south,and southwest regions of China.It is recommended to layout photovoltaic,wind power,and hydrogen production infrastructure in these main supply areas of green hydrogen.Additionally,based on the economic flow of green hydrogen,it is suggested to formulate a pure hydrogen pipeline development plan and layout green hydrogen-related industries.
