Empowering Green Hydrogen Production in China's Northeastern City
Key Ideas
- Hitachi Energy delivers rectifier transformers to a hydrogen industry park in Songyuan, China, supporting reliable power supply for hydrogen production from renewable sources.
- China prioritizes hydrogen as a core element of its national energy strategy, aiming to replace fossil fuels with hydrogen in industries and promote green ammonia and methanol production.
- The green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project in Songyuan is a significant part of China's sustainable energy plans, using wind and solar power for hydrogen production through electrolysis.
- The project, endorsed by the National Development and Reform Commission, is set to produce 800,000 tons of green synthetic ammonia and methanol annually, showcasing substantial environmental impact.
Hitachi Energy has provided rectifier transformers for an electrolytic hydrogen project in Songyuan, China, initiated by China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC). This project is a part of China's push towards sustainable energy and reducing carbon emissions by incorporating hydrogen into its national strategy. Utilizing renewable energy sources, the project aims to build a 3-gigawatt new energy facility in phases to produce hydrogen via water electrolysis, followed by the synthesis of ammonia and methanol. Hitachi Energy's transformer technology plays a crucial role in ensuring stable power supply for efficient hydrogen production, boasting features like compact design, low losses, and high stability. The initiative, recognized as a low-carbon technology demonstration project by China's National Development and Reform Commission and Jilin Province's 'Hydrogen Powering Jilin' scheme, signifies a significant move towards cleaner energy practices. It reflects China's commitment to harnessing green hydrogen for industrial applications, contributing to a greener future and sustainable energy development.
