Sungrow Hydrogen has won the bidding of China Energy Engineering Corporation’s (CEEC) Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park project in Jilin China, which is billed as the world’s largest green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol integrated project.
Sungrow Hydrogen’s 1000Nm³/h ALK hydrogen production system will be applied to the $4bn project, which is expected to produce 110,000 tonnes of green hydrogen, 600,000 tonnes of green ammonia and 60,000 tonnes of green methanol.
CEEC’s industrial park project is among the first batch of ‘green and low-carbon advanced’ technology demonstration projects.
The project is the third Sungrow Hydrogen has won in Jilin province and the company plans to implement more projects globally, opening up the path of large-scale production of green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol, and green hydrogen-based chemical industry.
Three weeks ago, Sungrow unveiled its first inland megawatt (MW) level PEM hydrogen production and refuelling project in Yichang City, Hubei Province (200Nm³/h of PEM green hydrogen).
The company has released its 300Nm³/h PEM water electrolyser, claiming it not only breaks through the record of hourly hydrogen yield per PEM stack in the Chinese domestic market but also catches up with the international advanced level in a number of key indicators.
In the current green hydrogen market, flexible green hydrogen production technology can better adapt to the fluctuations of PV and wind energy and maintain stable operation under a low power load.
Mainland China installed a cumulative 1 gigawatt (GW) of electrolyser capacity in 2023, cementing its position as a leader in the technology’s adoption, according to Rystad Energy.
But a substantial portion of China’s hydrogen supply is derived from grey hydrogen, produced through coal gasification or steam methane reforming (SMR). If China intends to achieve its dual carbon objectives of peaking emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, switching to low-carbon hydrogen production methods will be crucial, it notes.
