China’s first 20,000 ton green hydrogen plant inaugrated in Xinjiang
On June 30, 2023, Sinopec’s first 20,000 per annum green hydrogen production facility was inaugurated in Kucha, Xinjiang, which marked a milestone of China’s low carbon hydrogen development.
The plant consist of 300MW solar power generation, electricity transimission, 20,000 ton per annum hydrogen electrolysis, 210,000 Nm3hydrogen storage capacity and hydrogen pipeline. The green hydrogen will be transported to the nearby oil refinery facilities to replace grey hydrogen.
Kucha green hydrogen plant represents Sinopec’s hydrogen ambitions.
As the world largest oil refiner and petrochemical giant, Sinopec consumes 4.5 million ton hydrogen annually and it plan to progressively replace grey hydrogen across processes with green hydrogen.
