Background
More than 170 countries signed the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015 with the aim of limiting global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, and further below 1.5 degrees Celsius. In October 2018, the “Special Report on Global Warming 1.5 ?” issued by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pointed out that the average temperature today is already 1 degree Celsius higher than the pre-industrial level. If emissions continue at the current rate, it is expected that as early as 2030, the temperature will exceed 1.5 ?. This will result in the inundation of the coastline, more severe storms and increased poverty in coastal areas and islands, particularly in the tropics. By 2040, the temperature will reach 2?, and the population affected by natural disasters will further increase by 420 million.
Clean energy is considered one of the most effective approaches to address climate change and has been used to replace fossil fuels in many countries. In the category of clean energy, hydrogen energy is hailed as “the ultimate energy source of the 21st century”. The world's three major Bay Areas (the New York Bay Area and San Francisco Bay Area in the United States, and the Tokyo Bay Area of Japan) have already advanced the development of the hydrogen energy industry.
As a responsible major power, China has been committed to advancing the UN global sustainable development goals, especially leading the world in the R&D and utilization of clean energy. Since the country recently issued “Made in China 2025” and “Revolutionary Energy Technology Innovation Action Plan (2016-2030)”, more than 20 cities in China, including Beijing and Shanghai, have set up industrial parks the with hydrogen energy as the leading industry; Guangdong, Hebei, Hubei, Shanghai, Shandong, Hainan, and other provinces and cities have also introduced various support policies, the energy revolution is imperative.
As one of the 11 cities in the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China, Foshan is not only the forerunner in promoting the industrialization of hydrogen energy from demonstration, but also the pioneer in the industrialization of technology research and development and standard innovation. Nanhai District of Foshan City is one of the five demonstration cities of the “promoting the commercialization of China's hydrogen fuel cell vehicles” project, which is being implemented by UNDP in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Technology[1]; Foshan has the first commercialization of hydrogen refueling stations in China, leading China in the construction and operation of hydrogen refueling stations and the support policies for the operation of hydrogen energy vehicles, and the opening of the first demonstration line of hydrogen-powered trams in China. This city is standing out from the booming development in this fuel cell sector across China. However, with the rapid development of technology-intensive hydrogen energy industry with high safety level requirements and the gradual improvement of relevant industrial planning, the shortage of specialized technical personnel in the hydrogen energy field has become increasingly obvious.
To this end, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) intends to implement a cooperation project with the government of Foshan Nanhai District, and jointly set up vocational college of hydrogen economy in Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In conjunction with relevant colleges and universities in “Xianhu Hydrogen Valley”, this will be the world's first vocational college of hydrogen economy, which will be located in Danzao Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong province.
The hydrogen energy industrial park “Xianhu Hydrogen Valley” has a planned area of 47.3 square kilometers. According to the layout of “one lake, one city and three parks”, hydrogen energy is built around hydrogen fuel cells, core components, powertrains and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The hydrogen energy industrial cluster and the hydrogen energy technology pioneer zone, which are integrated with technology research and development, intelligent manufacturing, display and exchange, and innovative services, have become China's important new energy automobile industry base and the “Silicon Valley” of hydrogen energy industry.
“UNDP Hydrogen Economy Vocational College in the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China” aims to build the first hydrogen economy vocational College in the world to train front-line professionally-educated technical workers in the field of hydrogen energy for Chinese and professionals from other countries, especially the developing world. It will become the first internationalized vocational training college in the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China and the world to train hydrogen energy professional technical talents with an integration of the domestic and international world-class faculty in hydrogen energy field.
On the other hand, the establishment of the College will also contribute to the realization of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4: quality education; SDG 7: affordable clean energy; SDGS 8: decent jobs and economic growth; SDG 11: sustainable cities and communities; and SDG 13: climate action.
[1] The “Promoting the Commercialization of China's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles” (2016-2020), implemented by UNDP and the Ministry of Science and Technology, includes five demonstration cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Foshan and Yancheng.
