Bidding Announcement of UNDP/CICETE's Subcontract on "China Hydrogen Economy Pilot"
Hydrogen energy is a huge and promising industry. In 2004, about 57 million metric tons of hydrogen were produced in the world, which equal 1700 million tons of fossil fuel. The world output has been increasing at about 10% annually since then. Hydrogen energy, a clean secondary energy of zero carbon emission, is valued by various countries in the world. In recent years, automobile hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology has been developing rapidly internationally. Developed countries and regions such as the US, Japan, South Korea, and EU are increasing their investment in the research of hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and they have set clear targets for industrialization of the new technology. In 2012, China produced 20 million tons of hydrogen, and China was the largest producer in the world. The Chinese government has been supporting the development of hydrogen energy and fuel cell automobile technology in its national science and technology planning, and has been launching demonstration projects and promoting applications of the technology.
To facilitate the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology, the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges (CICETE) under Ministry of Commerce, plans to develop the "China Hydrogen Economy Pilot Project" in association with the UNDP. The project is targeted to demonstrate inRugaohydrogen production and application technologies, and build a “hydrogen energy city” in order to realize sustainable development and alleviate climate changes. To fulfill the target above, we will take the following measures: 1) develop a roadmap for developing hydrogen energy in Rugao; 2) demonstrate hydrogen energy production technology, including production of hydrogen from renewable energies in order to increase production capacity and develop relative standards; 3) develop hydrogen storage technology and construct hydrogen fuel station; 4) apply hydrogen fuel cells in the field of transportation, integrate it with combine heat and power supply, and develop relative standards; 5) research in policy system and framework for hydrogen energy development and methods for carbon trading; 6) Promote public awareness of hydrogen energy to facilitate the development of the hydrogen economy.
The total budget for the project is $10 million with a time span of four years.The executing entity is CICETE under the Ministry of Commerce. The bidding involves one subcontract. The CICETE is in charge of the bidding event.
The Chinese version of the subcontract's TOR is included in the appendix and can also be found in the website www.cicete.org. After the bidding, a bid assessment committee will be set up at CICETE to assess the bidding documents (contract proposals) submitted. The bidder with the highest score wins.If no objection exists against the publicly announced result, CICETE will sign the contract with the winning bidder.
