- Sinopec Xinjiang's Kuqa green hydrogen pilot project, which leads the development of green hydrogen in China, goes into operation

KUQA, China, July 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- China Petroleum

Led by Sinopec's New Star Company, the mega-project is the world's largest solar-to-hydrogen conversion project and the first of its kind in China, equipped with a photovoltaic power generation complex, transmission lines and power transformation , as well as facilities for the production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water, storage and transport of hydrogen and auxiliary support production.

Green hydrogen is produced in facilities powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, minimizing the carbon footprint throughout the production process. The project harnesses Kuqa's wealth of photovoltaic resources to achieve 20,000 tons of green hydrogen per year using solar energy to electrolyze water, along with the capacity to store 210,000 cubic meters of hydrogen and transport 28,000 cubic meters per hour.

As a demonstration project to chart a new path for green hydrogen refining and provide an exemplary model for green hydrogen production in China, the project supplies hydrogen to Tahe Refining

Focusing on hydrogen-powered transportation and green hydrogen refining, Sinopec aims to become a new energy power that pioneers hydrogen production innovation in China, making it easier for China and other countries to achieve low-emission targets. carbon in the coming years. With an annual hydrogen production and utilization capacity of more than 4.5 million tons, the megawatt-scale PEM electrolysis hydrogen production station developed by Sinopec has come into operation, and its first hydrogen demonstration project in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is expected to produce 30,000 metric tons of hydrogen per year, has come online in 2023.
