Science and Technology Daily:
We all know that the development of new energy is progressing rapidly nationwide, and Jilin province has abundant wind and solar power resources. Could you please elaborate on how Jilin province will transform its advantages in wind and solar power resources into advantages in new energy development? What are the key measures? Thank you.
Hu Yuting:
Thank you for your question. The advantages of new energy in Jilin province can be summarized in three sentences.
First, "Jilin possesses unlimited wind and solar power resources." Jilin province has hundreds of millions of kilowatts of potential development capacity for wind and solar power resources, offering vast development space. The average utilization hours for wind energy are close to 3,300 hours, and the average utilization hours for solar energy are nearly 3,000 hours, equivalent to nine hours of power generation potential per day.
Second, "Jilin has strengths in wind and solar power." Jilin province enjoys strong advantages in terms of its location for developing new energy, being close to domestic industrial hubs such as the three northeastern provinces and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Our industrial development has a solid foundation, with strong demand for greening traditional manufacturing. With vast and flat land, abundant unused land for project construction, comprehensive transportation infrastructure, and abundant water and biomass resources, Jilin possesses complete conditions for developing a new energy industry chain.
Third, "Jilin has established the groundwork for hydrogen power." We are utilizing wind and solar power resources, straw resources, and river and lake resources as raw materials to vigorously promote the transformation of green electricity into forms of energy such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, green methyl alcohol, green aviation fuel and green materials. Our goal is to establish a hydrogen-based industrial cluster, with the aim of becoming "China's hydrogen capital." Currently, more than 20 leading companies in related industries have settled in Jilin, and over 10 ten-billion-yuan "green hydrogen plus" projects have been launched.
Of course, to transform the advantages in wind and solar power resources into development advantages, we need to innovate our thinking and strive to find a path suitable for making transformative advancements in new energy in Jilin province.
First, policy breakthroughs are required. We encourage leading enterprises or consortia to serve as the main operators of green power industrial parks. We have established a series of supporting policies in terms of electricity pricing, power transactions, project land use and project approval, which are highly operable and valuable.
Second, innovative models are required. We adopt energy supply models such as incremental distribution networks, local power grids, direct supply of new energy and self-contained loads, which are collectively known as "green power plus consumption." With these models, 80% of Jilin's green power can achieve local transformation, thus solving the problem of grid consumption. For example, we support distributed self-generation and self-consumption for flexible electricity use and manufacturing projects such as "hydrogen-based green energy." For modern industries that consume high amounts of energy, such as carbon fiber and new materials, we maximize the use of green power through reasonable ratios of wind and solar power or direct supply models.
Third, expansion of the industrial ecosystem is required. We are building several 10-million-kilowatt-level green power industrial parks and a batch of ten-billion-yuan hydrogen-based green energy industrial parks. We are promoting the integrated development of modern energy storage and other related green industries, while expanding application scenarios and enlarging the industrial scale of hydrogen-fueled vehicles, hydrogen-powered trains and a series of other products to create a complete "green hydrogen plus" industrial chain.
In general, green electricity is a valuable resource in Jilin, and bound to be a powerful means for us to foster emerging industries and future industries. Thank you.
