Sinopec lays out the green hydrogen chemical demonstration project of wind-solar integration

On December 23, the Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued a notice that Sinopec Nova Inner Mongolia Green Hydrogen New Energy Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as Sinopec Nova) will implement the second phase of the Ordos Wuxianqi Wind-Solar Integration Green Hydrogen Chemical Demonstration Project and the Ulanqab 100,000-ton annual wind-solar hydrogen production integration demonstration project
.
It is reported that the two projects plan to invest 23.
5 billion yuan, and the cumulative hydrogen production capacity exceeds 120,000 tons
per year.

According to the data, Sinopec Nova is a subsidiary established by Nova Petroleum Co.
, Ltd.
in Inner Mongolia in March 2021, located in Wuxianqi
, Ordos City.
Nova Petroleum's initial main business was "geothermal +" clean energy, and then actively integrated into the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy and actively constructed

"Led by geothermal energy, oriented by hydrogen energy, and supported by wind power and photovoltaics", the "hot hydrogen wind and solar" new energy industry system
.

On December 15, Sinopec Nova released the bidding announcement
of the environmental impact assessment project of 30,000 tons/year wind-solar hydrogen production integration project in Ordos.
In this announcement, the specific situation of this project was revealed, and the total investment of the 30,000-ton green hydrogen project was about 5.
5 billion yuan, which was carried out
according to the scale of 10,000 tons/year in the first phase and 20,000 tons/year in the second phase.
This time it is the second phase of the project
.

Under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the large-scale application of green power and green hydrogen provides an effective way
for carbon emission reduction in coal, petrochemical and natural gas chemical industries.
Correspondingly, the large-scale application of green power and green hydrogen in the chemical industry has also brought huge market opportunities
for the wind power and photovoltaic industry chain, electrolysis water hydrogen production technology and equipment, and hydrogen storage and operation industry.

With the goal of "building the first hydrogen energy company", Sinopec has repeatedly released major hydrogen production projects, and with great momentum, it has invested in the construction of hydrogen energy projects
in many places this year.

On August 5, Sinopec, Lijiang Municipal People's Government, Three Gorges Group Yunnan Energy Investment Co.
, Ltd.
, and Yunnan Communications Investment and Construction Group Co.
, Ltd.
signed the "Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement on Hydrogen Production from Electrolyzed Water and Hydrogen Energy Application" to carry out the "water, wind, solar storage" integration project of hydrogen production and hydrogen energy application by electrolysis of water.
At the same time, Yanshan Petrochemical, a subsidiary of Sinopec, will build a new 2000Nm3/h wind power water electrolysis hydrogen production unit, becoming a key green hydrogen production and supply guarantee enterprise
for the Winter Olympics.

On September 23, Sinopec, in partnership with China Three Gorges Investment Corporation and the Shanghai municipal government, launched a CNY 3 billion hydrogen energy project in Shanghai's Qingpu District, including the construction
of 10 hydrogen refueling stations.
Shanghai Qingpu District, where the project is carried out
, is located in the Yangtze River Delta hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicle industry cluster.

On November 4, Sinopec and thyssenkrupp signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation, under the general trend of global low-carbon and green development, the two sides will further deepen cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy and establish a closer strategic cooperative relationship
.

On November 23, Sinopec's first megawatt-level "green power to green hydrogen" demonstration project was completed in China Crude Oil Field
.
At this point, the project has moved from the construction stage to the start-up preparation stage
.
After the project is put into operation, it will produce 1.
12 tons of high-purity green hydrogen per day and is expected to consume 25.
2 million kilowatt-hours
of renewable electricity per year.

On December 10, Sinopec's domestic megawatt-level proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis water hydrogen production unit was successfully started up in Yanshan Petrochemical, and the whole process was completed on the same day, and the product quality test was qualified, marking the industrial application
of Sinopec's PEM electrolyzed water hydrogen production technology.
