On January 10, 2024, the 2023 Hydrogen Production Industry Review and Innovation Development Forum, together with the “Guangneng Cup” Hydrogen Energy Industry Awards Ceremony, was grandly held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Suzhou Industrial Park, hosted by Sobee Hydrogen Energy Network. Leading Chinese experts and scholars in the hydrogen energy field, corporate executives, and technical leaders attended the event and delivered insightful presentations on the current state of the hydrogen market and its future development directions.

Sun Hui, Safety Director of TechHy Hydrogen Energy Testing, attended the conference and delivered a speech. He stated:

In addition to the prominent cost challenges, the hydrogen energy industry is also grappling with safety concerns. Currently, many governments and enterprises lack a clear understanding of hydrogen energy, leading to a knee-jerk aversion whenever hydrogen is mentioned. Safety practices are well-established in the chemical industry, whereas the hydrogen energy sector remains relatively underdeveloped in this regard. Stakeholders in the hydrogen sector still need to enhance both their awareness of hydrogen safety and their safety management capabilities. When focusing on hydrogen safety applications, the goal is not merely to ensure that the electrolyzer operates safely and reliably without the risk of explosion. Instead, we aim to provide customers with a comprehensive solution that guarantees the safety of the entire system, including the hydrogen supply infrastructure. Furthermore, we collaborate with engineering design institutes from the design stage to offer sound, practical recommendations.
