The 2024 China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), the world’s first national-level exhibition focused on supply chains, has opened its doors in Beijing. Among the highlights of this year’s expo is the spotlight on green hydrogen—a clean energy source poised to revolutionize the global energy landscape.
A Clean Energy Revolution
Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. This process, known as electrolysis, results in zero carbon emissions, making green hydrogen a key player in the fight against climate change.
From Production to Application
At the expo, exhibitors are showcasing the entire supply chain of green hydrogen, from production to transportation, storage, and application. Advanced technologies are on display, demonstrating how hydrogen can be safely compressed and transported through pipelines or in liquid form.
Storage solutions are also highlighted, with innovations in high-pressure tanks and underground facilities ensuring hydrogen can be efficiently stored for future use. Applications range from fuel cells powering electric vehicles to industrial processes and electricity generation.
Collaborative Efforts on Display
Exhibitors are partnering with upstream and downstream companies, emphasizing collaboration in advancing the green hydrogen industry. This collective approach is essential for building a sustainable energy infrastructure that meets the world’s growing demands.
Empowering the Future
The focus on green hydrogen at the 2024 CISCE reflects a global commitment to clean energy and sustainability. For young people in the Global South, these innovations represent opportunities for economic growth, environmental protection, and participation in a greener future.
