Sinopec drives down costs on flagship facility
NOC develops integrated supply chain and stronger approach to electrolyser suppliers
State-controlled Sinopec’s construction of the world’s biggest green hydrogen project in China is becoming a template for similar large-scale developments as Beijing looks to ramp up production of the fuel. The RMB3.0bn ($446mn) demonstration project, located in China’s far western region of Xinjiang, will be the world’s biggest hydrogen production facility when it goes online next summer. It will have the capacity to produce 20,000t/yr of green hydrogen, equal to 10-20pc of the 100,000-200,000t/yr China wants to produce by 2025 under its first national hydrogen strategy.
