From March 31 to April 3, 2026, the 9th Advanced Energy Storage Technology Conference, a top-tier academic event in the energy storage sector, grandly kicked off in Beijing. Co-hosted by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the China Energy Research Society and the Zhongguancun Energy Storage Industry Technology Alliance, the conference gathered 9 academicians, over 50 experts from universities and research institutions, and more than 70 representatives from leading enterprises. With nine core sessions, participants exchanged insights on cutting-edge energy storage technologies and the future of the industry. Su Caihua, General Manager of Beijing Future Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd., was invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech titled AEM Technology Drives High-Quality Development of the Green Hydrogen Industry, empowering the global energy transition through core technological innovation.

As the flagship academic brand of the Energy Storage International Summit & Exhibition (ESIE), the Advanced Energy Storage Technology Conference has served as a vital platform for in-depth integration of industry, academia and research since its launch in 2017. This year’s event covered a full spectrum of technical routes including advanced energy storage materials, hydrogen energy and long-duration energy storage, and offered in-depth analysis on industry trends, providing solid academic support for the breakthrough and development of new energy storage technologies. As a critical medium for long-duration energy storage, hydrogen energy stood out as one of the core topics at the conference. Thanks to its unique strengths, Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) water electrolysis technology has become a mainstream solution for the large-scale development of green hydrogen.

In his speech, Su Caihua shared in-depth insights into the core advantages, technological breakthroughs and industrial value of AEM technology. Regarded as the third-generation water electrolysis technology for hydrogen production, AEM combines the low-cost merits of traditional Alkaline (ALK) electrolysis and the high-efficiency features of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis. It adopts non-precious metal catalysts, which greatly cuts the cost of core components. Meanwhile, it delivers millisecond-level dynamic response, perfectly matching the characteristics of green power and remarkably improving the utilization efficiency of renewable energy.

Over the years, Beijing Future Hydrogen has focused intensively on the R&D of AEM water electrolysis technology. The company has achieved a host of independent innovations in catalysts and electrodes, and resolved major industrial bottlenecks concerning operational stability, current density and large-scale mass production. Its series of core patented products have effectively enhanced the performance and service life of electrolyzers, accelerating the transition of AEM hydrogen production equipment from laboratory research to megawatt-level industrial application. Currently, the cost of AEM electrolyzers keeps declining and scale effects are gradually taking shape, laying a solid foundation for cost reduction, efficiency improvement and large-scale commercial deployment of the green hydrogen industry.
The company’s participation in this high-profile conference once again demonstrates its solid technological strength and growing industry influence. As an innovation pioneer in the AEM hydrogen production sector, Beijing Future Hydrogen will take this top academic exchange as an opportunity to cooperate with partners across the industrial chain. It will accelerate the commercialization of technological achievements and the development of the industrial ecosystem. Driven by continuous core technological breakthroughs, the company will facilitate the high-quality growth of the green hydrogen industry, and contribute robust momentum to the global energy transition and the delivery of China’s Dual Carbon Goals.
