On November 28, the Shiyin Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry Annual Conference successfully concluded in Changsha, themed "Deep Integration: Building a Community of Shared Future for Hydrogen Energy." KBC Hydrogen Energy was invited to attend, joining industry leaders to delve into the development directions and cutting-edge technologies shaping the hydrogen energy sector.
Technology Leadership – Awarded the Annual Technology Excellence Prize by Hydrogen Future
KBC Hydrogen Energy's R&D team has been dedicated to overcoming key technical challenges in core carbon materials for fuel cells. Through independent development of core technologies such as wet-forming of carbon paper base paper, resin impregnation and curing of carbon paper, and continuous carbonization and graphitization, the team has successfully tackled difficult issues like the flexible cross-linking technology between carbon fibers and resin-based carbon, the thermal-field coupling technology for continuous carbonization and graphitization, and multi-stage quality-linked control techniques. The company’s proprietary carbon paper technology addresses critical concerns such as durability, adhesion, and consistency. Thanks to the outstanding performance and remarkable reliability of its carbon paper/gas diffusion layer products, KBC Hydrogen Energy was honored with the "Annual Technology Power" award at the prestigious "2024 ShiYin Future Awards."
This prestigious honor reflects the company's sustained investment in R&D and proactive efforts in the practical application of hydrogen energy and fuel cell technologies, marking KBC Hydrogen Energy's leading position in the carbon paper/gas diffusion layer industry. It will also inspire us to make even greater contributions toward fostering deeper integration and robust development across the entire hydrogen energy value chain.
Market Leadership: Applications and Development Trends of Domestic Carbon Paper/Gas Diffusion Layers
At this conference, Feng Guoli from the Marketing Department of KBC Shares delivered a keynote speech titled "Applications and Development Trends of Domestically Produced Carbon Paper/Gas Diffusion Layers."
Carbon paper, a critical material in the hydrogen energy and fuel cell industries, is playing an increasingly important role in fuel cells, next-generation PEM/AEM electrolyzers, aerospace, environmental protection, and other cutting-edge fields. Domestically produced carbon paper is seeing its application areas steadily expand, with significant improvements in production scale, product quality, and market share.
As a leader in the advanced carbon materials industry, KBC Shares takes it upon itself to "serve the development of clean energy and contribute to the achievement of dual-carbon goals." Leveraging its talent and research strengths in the carbon-based new materials field, the company successfully completed, over the past two years, the technological development and industrialization of high-performance carbon paper/gas diffusion layers—entirely domestically produced and spanning the full process chain. This breakthrough marks a significant advancement in carbon paper technology, a "bottleneck" material for fuel cells. After rigorous verification tests conducted by several leading fuel cell companies, the product has now reached internationally competitive performance levels.
KBC Hydrogen Energy is a key component of KBC Shares' industrialization platform for carbon materials, consistently focusing on exploring the vast potential of carbon materials in the fields of hydrogen energy and fuel cells. KBC's high-performance roll-to-roll gas diffusion layers outperform mainstream international products in terms of porosity, air permeability, electrical conductivity, tensile strength, and durability, delivering outstanding performance in fuel cell validations under various operating conditions. Additionally, its sheet-like carbon paper—ideal for water electrolysis-based hydrogen production—is already being produced in bulk for delivery. Meanwhile, carbon paper/gas diffusion layers designed for air-cooled fuel cells and electrodes used in flow batteries have also gained widespread market recognition.
In today’s global wave of actively pursuing sustainable energy solutions, hydrogen energy and fuel cell technologies are emerging as a prominent focus in the energy sector, thanks to their unique advantages and immense growth potential. KBC Hydrogen Energy is committed to working alongside industry partners to build a community with a shared future, jointly creating a clean, sustainable, and prosperous tomorrow.
Firmly committed to action, we strive for lasting progress through practical efforts and continuous innovation. The hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry holds immense potential, though it currently faces numerous challenges. At KBC Hydrogen Energy, we will remain dedicated to advancing carbon material research and driving technological breakthroughs in the hydrogen sector—working hand-in-hand with industry partners to jointly shape a vibrant blueprint for future growth!
