China's Green Hydrogen Revolution in Songyuan: A Sustainable Energy Milestone
Key Ideas
  • Hitachi Energy delivers rectifier transformers for hydrogen production in Songyuan, supporting China's renewable energy strategy.
  • China leads in hydrogen production, aiming to replace fossil fuels with hydrogen and promote green ammonia and methanol production.
  • CEEC's green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project plans a 3GW new energy facility using wind and solar power, integrating the entire value chain.
  • The project is a key initiative for clean hydrogen use, aiming to produce 800,000 tons of green synthetic ammonia and methanol annually.
Hitachi Energy has supplied rectifier transformers for an electrolytic hydrogen project in Songyuan, China, led by the China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC). This initiative is part of China's ambitious national energy strategy, with hydrogen playing a pivotal role in the country's efforts to shift towards sustainable energy sources. The project in Songyuan aims to harness renewable energy from wind and solar power to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis. Subsequently, green hydrogen will be used to synthesize ammonia and methanol, forming a comprehensive value chain that supports clean electricity production. Hitachi Energy's expertise in manufacturing efficient rectifier transformers is crucial for ensuring stable power supply during hydrogen production, enhancing efficiency and safety. This project, endorsed as a low-carbon technology demonstration by China's National Development and Reform Commission, is a significant component of Jilin Province's 'Hydrogen Powering Jilin' initiative. With plans to produce 800,000 tons of green synthetic ammonia and methanol annually, this project showcases China's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and reducing carbon emissions through the adoption of green hydrogen technologies.
