Release of White Paper on the Full Industry Chain of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

With the growing global demand for clean energy and the continuous progress of hydrogen technology, the hydrogen industry is entering a new stage of rapid development. In terms of hydrogen production, the iteration of electrolytic water hydrogen production technology is advancing rapidly, especially “green hydrogen” technology based on renewable energy, which is gradually becoming the focus of industry attention. Green hydrogen production uses electricity provided by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power for the electrolysis of water, which can not only significantly reduce carbon emissions but also provide cleaner solutions for future energy systems. In terms of hydrogen storage and transportation, high-pressure gas hydrogen storage and transportation technology is being upgraded to large capacity, while the development of pipeline hydrogen transportation, liquid hydrogen, and solid-state storage technology is also accelerating. In terms of hydrogen application, the expansion of application scenarios such as fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen power stations, and the hydrogen chemical industry is opening up a broad market space for the development of the hydrogen industry.

TÜV Rheinland has been actively engaged in the hydrogen industry for many years, always focusing on the pulse of industry development and cutting-edge trends. At the Congress, TÜV Rheinland officially released the White Paper on the Full Industry Chain of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. The white paper provides an in-depth analysis of the current status, technological trends, market prospects, and opportunities and challenges faced by hydrogen companies, covering all aspects of the hydrogen industry chain from production to application, with a particular focus on the development potential and market application of green hydrogen technology. It aims to provide guidance for the large-scale commercialization of the green hydrogen industry and the entry of hydrogen companies into the global market, contributing to the healthy development of the hydrogen industry.

In addition, TÜV Rheinland also released “Key Technical Data on High-precision Measurement of PV Modules,” which covers the latest research results on mainstream PV modules in terms of power generation efficiency and electrical characteristics, and discusses the industry’s technological development trends reflected by these data, providing an important reference for promoting technological progress in the industry.

All Quality Matters Awards winners announced

One of the highlights of the Congress was the announcement of the winners of the “All Quality Matters Awards.” This year’s selections covered 22 categories in three major groups: PV modules, PV and energy storage products, and PV power stations. New categories were added, including n-type mono-glass TOPCon, lightweight PV modules, inshore PV modules, high-voltage PV modules, single-glass/double-glass PV module reliability, commercial and industrial energy storage systems, and user-side energy storage projects. This fully demonstrates TÜV Rheinland’s technical strength and broad influence across the industry chain. In the end, 17 companies stood out and won honors.

At the same time, TÜV Rheinland awarded Changzhou Shichuang Energy Co., Ltd. with the “Innovation Award for Photovoltaic Cell Metallization and Interconnection Technology,” Renshine Solar Suzhou Co., Ltd. with the “Innovation Award for Perovskite Tandem PV Technology,” Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd. with the “Innovation Award for Smart String & Grid Forming ESS Platform,” LONGi Hydrogen Technology (Xi’an) Co., Ltd. with the “Innovation Award for High Current Density Medium-Pressure ALK Electrolyzer,” and GCL Group with the “Innovation Award for Carbon Data Platform,” recognizing their outstanding contributions to promoting industry technological innovation.

Additionally, TÜV Rheinland also presented the “Solar Honorary Award” to Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Academician of the Australian Academy of Engineering, Founder & Chairman of Sunman Energy Technology Co., Ltd., in recognition of his outstanding contributions to global industry development as a pioneer in China’s PV industry.

Transcend the cycles for a win-win future

The China PV industry is currently in a cyclical adjustment phase. Despite the expansion of scale and increase in exports, it also faces challenges such as price declines, reduced output value, and decreased export volume. At the Leaders Forum themed “Transcend the cycles for a win-win future,” industry guests shared their views on the current state of the industry and proposed strategies to cope with the current challenges.

Over the past decade, the PV and energy storage industries have undergone significant advancements, evolving from the emergence of technology to large-scale applications. TÜV Rheinland has consistently upheld its commitment to ensuring safety and quality, striving to establish a quality benchmark for the industry and create a platform for collaboration. Looking ahead, TÜV Rheinland will continue to embrace its role as the “guardian of the industry,” working closely with partners to embark on the next remarkable decade together.

Halal Route Application – Eat, Travel around Thailand, Safe and Sound Halal Style

Published

By

BANGKOK, Thailand, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Halal Science Center, Chulalongkorn University has developed Halal Route, an application that lists restaurants, lodging, mosques, prayer directions, and tourist attractions in Thailand under Islamic tourism principles. It hopes to help Muslim tourists travel in Thailand with peace of mind, and supports tourism industry operators to grow and welcome a growing number of Muslim tourists.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) predicts that in 2024 there will be around 168 million Islamic tourists worldwide.  According to the Mastercard-Crescent Rating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI 2024), Thailand is the 32nd most popular destination for Muslim tourists.  However, the major problem Muslim tourists encounter in Thailand is finding Halal-accredited restaurants, hotels, accommodations, or tourist attractions with service areas (such as prayer rooms) that are compliant with the Islamic way.

Halal Route” is a travel aggregator app that collects searchable information on Halal restaurants, mosques, prayer locations, times, and directions for prayers (the qibla), tourist attractions, Muslim villages or communities, hotels, accommodations, etc.  This app is linked to Google Maps for navigation with precision. It also supports 3 languages, Thai, English, and Arabic, so that Muslim tourists can live and travel more comfortably and with peace of mind,” said Mr.Erfun Weahama, Science Service Officer, Halal Route App development team.

Dr. Anat Denyingyot, Assistant Director of the Halal Science Center, emphasized that the Halal Route application has the most reliable and comprehensive information on halal tourism in Thailand today. “All restaurants and locations have had on-site visits and are audited according to standards approved by a trusted authority or organization, such as certifications from religious organizations or halal food-related entities, as well as management systems to guarantee and be responsible for halal conditions (the HAL-Q system),” Dr. Anat assured.

Currently, the application has more than 1,100 restaurants in its database, and new locations and services are being updated, covering more than 40 provinces from north to south of Thailand that are popular among tourists.

Halal Route is not only for navigation, but a platform that connects Muslim communities from around the world who have the opportunity to visit Thailand,” Associate Professor Dr.Winai Dahlan, Director of the Halal Science Center concluded.

The Halal Route application is free to download on both iOS and Android systems.
