Sinopec launches Inner Mongolia green hydrogen project
Chinese NOC to invest $828mn in project with production capacity of 30,000t/yr
China’s Sinopec has kicked off the development of a 30,000t/yr green hydrogen project in the Ordos region of Inner Mongolia. The NOC plans to invest RMB5.7bn ($828mn) into the plant, which will also produce 240,000t/yr of oxygen for industrial use. Sinopec will install 450MW of solar and 270MW of wind capacity to power the Ordos project, as well as 288,000m³ of hydrogen storage capacity. The plant will feed into carbon reduction initiatives at an adjacent coal processing pilot project and is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 1.43mn t/yr. 30,000t/yr – Ordos project capacity “The project is of great significance to guaranteeing China's energy security, building new energy systems and
