Founded in 2013, after 9 years of research and development, laboratory verification, practical application assessment, reliability assessment, durability assessment and adaptability practical use verification assessment, the "methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology" innovatively developed by Co-Win successfully completed the expected development target. On September 20,2022, by the mechanical scientific and technological achievements evaluation center jointly with the automotive engineering society of Guangdong province, in Guangzhou tianhe district a large bay area of innovation business incubators, joint organization held a "methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology of scientific and technological achievements evaluation", methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology through achievement evaluation, and obtain the results evaluation committee expert panel given "the methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology to domestic similar technology leading level" highly.

The conference will both online and offline, Invite Dalian compound Sun Gongquan researcher, faw liberation automobile co., LTD., commercial vehicle development institute Chen Lijun, Zhejiang geely new energy commercial vehicle group co., LTD., Liu Hanru chief expert, Guangzhou power supply bureau co., LTD., electric power test research institute wang chief engineer nine industry experts evaluation committee panel, For the methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology developed by Co-Win In terms of project background, technical route, development difficulties, innovation content, project results, market application and other aspects, Had a comprehensive, in-depth and open communication and discussion with the project development engineering and technical personnel.

In March 2019, eight ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology, jointly issued the Guidance on the Application of Methanol Vehicles in Some Regions. Article 5 of the Opinions specifically states: " Enterprises are encouraged to encourage and develop methanol hybrid vehicles, methanol extended-range electric vehicles and methanol fuel cell vehicles. Accelerate the transformation and industrial application of scientific research achievements of methanol vehicles ", clarifying the development of methanol fuel cell vehicles.

On March 23,2022, the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration jointly issued by the hydrogen industry development long-term planning (2021-2035), in the "planning five: promoting the hydrogen infrastructure construction" clear: overall planning hydrogenation network demand oriented, overall layout construction hydrogenation station, pushing the construction of hydrogenation network system. We will put safety first, conserve and make intensive use of land resources, and support the use of existing refueling stations in accordance with laws and regulations. Explore new modes such as hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogenation in the station. This paper points out the broad application field for the promotion of methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology and device.

On September 16,2022, the Council of Heads of State of the SCO Member States officially issued the Statement on Safeguarding International Energy Security. The statement stressed that the energy transition and energy security must be promoted in a coordinated and orderly manner on the basis of the safe and reliable operation of energy infrastructure, including renewable energy, said. We will vigorously promote the coordinated development of wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, biomass, hydrogen, and energy storage. It is of great significance to build a new power system that adapt to the gradual increase of the proportion of new energy. Methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology just has the advantages of safe and reliable operation of energy infrastructure.

Online hydrogen gas fuel is produced by liquid methanol at room temperature and pressure. First, it can avoid the pain point of high cost input of manufacturing, storage, transportation and filling of hydrogen energy industry; second, it can solve the safety difficulties of hydrogen energy storage device for road vehicles. Methanol online hydrogen production device can not only provide hydrogen of different purity for hydrogen fuel cell online, but also provide hydrogen for hydrogen fuel engine online, and can also provide hydrogen for the application of hydrogen blending combustion technology of traditional fuel engine. As energy consumption road vehicles, inland river shipping ships, surface boats, and special equipment (including fixed power generation equipment) can be selected between fuel cell and hydrogen fuel engine. The former can be selected for the use scenarios with strict carbon emission requirements and the special application scenarios with high cost tolerance. For cost-sensitive special application scenarios, the latter can be selected. Industrial hydrogen production and hydrogen-rich industries (including origin and production areas), the latter can be selected for power generation for recycling. This is the charm of methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology.

Co-Win Team after years of innovation, for the hydrogen industry development of hydrogen system, storage, transport, filling link investment strength of pain points and the difficulty of high safety requirements, focus on research and development production of methanol water reforming online hydrogen production device, methanol water reforming online hydrogen fuel cell generator and hydrogen energy application technology support and service system. After many years, it has achieved the breakthrough in this industry zero in the methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology and the optimization design of series device products, and realized the practical operation of expanding the application field of methanol reforming online hydrogen production technology.

According to the results evaluation, the project results systematically studied the online hydrogen production technology of methanol reforming catalyst, high efficiency palladium membrane hydrogen purification and modular system integration. The developed methanol reforming on-line hydrogen production device, the hydrogen production rate reaches 4 standard cubic meters-108 standard cubic meters per hour, basically meeting the demand of 5kW-150kW hydrogen fuel cells;

Compared with the existing commercial catalyst (SCST-401), the methanol reforming catalyst is about four times higher, and the volume and weight of the device are greatly reduced;

Using sheet palladium film, the hydrogen purification structural unit was innovatively developed, and the purity of hydrogen production reached 99.975%, which significantly reduced the carbon monoxide concentration and material cost.

It has been authorized with 65 utility model patents, 6 appearance patents, 28 invention patents, and 7 software Copyrights, and led the writing of the group standard of methanol online hydrogen production device.

At present, the methanol reforming online hydrogen production device is equipped with FAW Jiefang truck to provide hydrogen source for on-board fuel cell; hydrogen source for low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell for CSIC ships; and hydrogen source for hydrogen energy backup power supply of China Mobile, China Telecom and CNCC computer room / base station. In terms of field environmental application, the application of the off-grid power station in Mangzhou Island, Jiangmen, Guangdong province verifies the safe and stable operation of the system under special, complex, strict and harsh environment.
