While the top-level design is progressing in an orderly manner, the location advantage of Ganzhou is also very obvious. Ganzhou is located at the intersection of Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Hunan provinces, and is a national comprehensive transportation hub city. Ganzhou has formed a “four vertical, four horizontal, and nine connected” expressway network, and is connected to Guangdong with eight expressway exits. The Changgan High speed Railway and Changgan Shenzhen High speed Railway intersect in Ganzhou, greatly reducing the travel time from Ganzhou to Nanchang, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places. In addition, Ganzhou will become a prefecture level city with two civil aviation airports, and the Gan River waterway terminal will also be fully navigable. Ganzhou International Land Port has operated a total of 1600 China Europe freight trains, sending 136000 TEUs of goods, accounting for about 80% of the total operation in Jiangxi Province.
In terms of factor guarantee, Ganzhou has built over 57 million square meters of standard factory buildings with low rent. At the same time, Ganzhou has been approved as a national pilot zone for inclusive financial reform, with over 190 financial institutions, the largest number and variety among surrounding areas. Ganzhou has also established 7 fund management companies, managing fund sizes exceeding 50 billion yuan. In addition, Ganzhou has sufficient labor force and employment population, and its water, electricity, and gas prices have significant advantages compared to the Greater Bay Area.
In terms of industrial development, the total number of industrial enterprises above designated size in Ganzhou has reached 3087, ranking first in Jiangxi Province. Modern furniture, non-ferrous metals, electronic information, new energy, textiles and clothing, green food, and biomedicine are the seven leading industrial chains in Ganzhou, with the output value of four clusters exceeding 100 billion yuan. Ganzhou is still known as the “Rare Earth Kingdom” and “World Tungsten Capital”, with abundant rare earth, tungsten, and lithium resources, providing a solid foundation for the development of industries such as lithium batteries and new energy.
In terms of business environment, Ganzhou has ranked first in Jiangxi Province’s business assessment for three consecutive years. More than 80% of government affairs have been made available on mobile devices, and over 1300 preferential policies for enterprises have been implemented without application or upon application. Ganzhou has established enterprise service mechanisms such as the industrial chain leader system and the government enterprise roundtable meeting system, which are responsive to enterprises’ requests and always disturb them. Especially in terms of government cooperation with Shenzhen, 127 government affairs have been processed across provinces and online.
Drawing on successful experiences to open up a new chapter in hydrogen energy
In fact, multiple cities and regions in China are actively promoting the development of the hydrogen energy industry. At the meeting, Dr. Zhou Ning, Secretary General of the South China Hydrogen Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, shared in detail the practices and achievements of Guangdong Province in promoting hydrogen energy application scenarios, constructing high-speed demonstration projects, and monitoring hydrogen refueling station safety platforms from four perspectives: scenario driven market, policy released resources, service supervision standards, and exchange promoted transactions. This provided a “Guangdong” model for the development of the hydrogen energy industry in Ganzhou.
According to Zhou Ning, since its inception in 2009, Nanhai District of Foshan City has undergone more than ten years of “chain” cultivation. Through the deep integration of “industry, academia, research, and application”, the hydrogen energy industry has achieved remarkable results. It has successfully built a hydrogen energy full industry chain advantage integrating “manufacturing, storage, transportation, and utilization”, and will form an industrial cluster worth over 100 billion yuan in the future.
At present, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can be applied to various models such as 18T sanitation vehicles, 4.5T refrigerated trucks/vans, 18T wing opening logistics vehicles, 49T semi-trailer tractors, etc.
In the field of logistics and transportation, the Guangdong Guangzhan Hydrogen Energy Expressway Demonstration Project is the first hydrogen energy expressway project launched by Guangdong Province and the first provincial-level hydrogen energy expressway implementation plan in China. Covering Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Jiangmen, Yangjiang, Zhanjiang, Maoming and other places, radiating to the Pearl River Delta region, relying on the Shenhai Expressway, Shanzhan Expressway, 207 National Highway, 228 National Highway and 325 National Highway to form a transportation network. This project forms a closed loop in the hydrogen station vehicle industry chain, which can match the logistics application scenarios of Guangzhou Zhanjiang and further promote the construction of Guangdong Province’s fuel cell vehicle demonstration city cluster.
Zhou Ning believes that the distance between Foshan and Ganzhou, as well as the Guangzhou Zhanjiang line, is over 400 kilometers, which is a very suitable distance. If the distance is further, coordinating hydrogen refueling stations will become very troublesome. Set up a hydrogen refueling station around 200 kilometers, and the vehicle can travel 300-400 kilometers with one refueling. As long as the supply is sufficient, the vehicle can easily travel back and forth. In addition, as a gateway for Jiangxi to connect with the Greater Bay Area, Gannan is a “basket of vegetables” that directly connects to the Bay Area. Goods are transported to and from Guangdong, providing favorable conditions for the operation of hydrogen logistics vehicles.
By drawing on the successful experience of advanced regions such as Guangdong and combining its own advantageous resources and development conditions, Ganzhou City is expected to make significant breakthroughs in the hydrogen energy industry and form a leading hydrogen energy industry cluster in China. Strengthening strategic emerging industries and laying out future industries, Ganzhou City stands at a new starting point for the development of the hydrogen energy industry.
