On June 24, China Pioneer Intelligence signed a strategic cooperation agreement with European fuel cell R & D and production company Blue World Technologies. As the main equipment supplier of Blue World Technologies, Leader Intelligence will help Blue World Technologies realize the construction of a production base project with an annual capacity of 50,000 fuel cell systems. After the Blue World Technologies fuel cell production base is completed, it will be Europe’s largest methanol reforming fuel cell plant.
Mr. Wang Yanqing, Chairman of Pioneer Intelligence, and Anders Korsgaard, CEO of Blue World Technologies, signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Pioneer Intelligence supplies major production equipment to Blue World Technologies and helps Blue World Technologies build a methanol reforming fuel cell production base. The project is located in the port of Aalborg, Denmark, and will be officially launched in September this year. The factory covers an area of 5285m2. It is planned to be officially put into production in the second quarter of 2020. At that time, the production capacity will gradually increase.
The main reason for Blue World Technologies’ decision to cooperate with Pioneer Smart is derived from Pioneer’s many years of smart equipment manufacturing experience and technical knowledge in the lithium battery, fuel cell and photovoltaic industries, including giving world-class battery companies such as Panasonic, Samsung, LG, CATL , BYD, etc. provide leading intelligent equipment solutions. At the same time, the leading fuel cell technology team has a unique technical perspective and experience in the manufacture of fuel cell components and systems.
Anders Korsgaard said at the signing ceremony: “As a team with more than two decades of experience in the field of fuel cell technology, Blue World Technologies aims to become the world’s leading producer of methanol reforming fuel cell systems. To achieve this goal, we We must have strong and highly automated production capabilities. Today, we have signed a strategic cooperation agreement with a leading intelligent company with world-class technology, marking the first step towards this goal. “
A truly green alternative to internal combustion engines
The efficient methanol reforming fuel cell system developed by Blue World Technologies can be used in many fields. Currently, Blue World Technologies is focusing its efforts on the application of its methanol fuel cells in automobiles. The fuel cell system is equivalent to a car’s range extender. The methanol fuel cell system developed by Blue World Technologies combines a smaller battery module with a methanol fuel cell system. Its application in automobiles will realize the existing advantages of electric vehicles while helping electric vehicles to gain more traditional advantages. The advantages of internal-combustion vehicles, such as a cruising range of more than 1,000 kilometers and the rapid refueling.
Blue World Technologies fuel cell systems use pure methanol as fuel. Methanol is a liquid fuel that can be produced from renewable resources and can be easily stored and transported around the world. Because methanol exists in liquid form under ordinary atmospheric pressure, only small-scale retrofits and low-cost investments are required. The global storage and refueling infrastructure currently used for fossil fuels such as diesel and gasoline can be converted for methanol storage and refueling Note. Unlike internal combustion engines, the harmful gas emissions of fuel cell systems are zero, and its application will provide practical and green solutions to the large-scale air pollution problems currently struggling to overcome worldwide.
Intelligent and mass production of fuel cells
Mr. Wang Yanqing said at the signing ceremony: “It is a very good opportunity for Pioneer to form a strategic cooperation with Blue World Technologies. Pioneer provides equipment and services to many first-class battery companies in the European market, and has extensive global service experience. We will be based on Blue World Technologies ‘fuel cell technology and process customization development equipment. Pioneering technical background plus Blue World Technologies’ many years of relevant experience and accumulation in the field of fuel cell technology have laid a solid and strong foundation for our cooperation.
Blue World Technologies’ fuel cell production line includes the production of proton exchange membranes, electrodes and bipolar plates, the assembly of stacks, and platform testing. The plant will be a highly automated and intelligent production base, which will ensure Blue World Technologies’ efficient and large-scale production of high-quality fuel cell systems.
Pioneer’s strong technical response capabilities and equipment production capabilities will enable Blue World Technologies to complete the plant in a short period of time. Fuel cell production equipment is similar to the lithium battery production equipment. Piloting a large amount of equipment manufacturing and service experience can help Blue World Technologies to control production and operating costs more efficiently.
