Construction has started on the first of three large-scale green hydrogen facilities in Ningxia, China, aiming to produce 16,500 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for use in transportation and the creation of green ammonia and methanol. This initiative represents a significant step in integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the region's industrial framework.

The Ningxia autonomous region in northern China is now home to the first phase of a significant green hydrogen project within the Taiyangshan Development Zone in Wuzhong City. The initiative, known as the "Ningxia Taiyangshan Green Hydrogen Production, Storage, Transportation, and Utilization Integrated Project," is spearheaded by Seraphim Reshape (Ningxia) Hydrogen Power Energy Co., Ltd., a collaboration between Shanghai Reshape Group and Jiangsu Seraphim.

With an investment of 2.086 billion yuan ($285 million), the first phase of the project includes the development of an electrolyzer facility designed to produce 16,500 tons of hydrogen and 132,000 tons of green oxygen each year. Additionally, it will feature an extensive infrastructure, including a green oxygen recovery unit, transmission pipelines, 17 spherical hydrogen storage tanks of 1,875 cubic meters each, a refueling platform, and a range of supporting environmental and safety facilities. Upon reaching full operational capacity, the project aims to generate annual revenue of 328.5 million yuan ($45 million) and contribute approximately 38 million yuan ($5.2 million) in value-added tax.

Xi Juntao, general manager of Jiangsu Seraphim Power Development Co., Ltd., expressed enthusiasm about the project's potential: "Ningxia, including Wuzhong, has very rich wind and solar resources. The core of the 'Sun Mountain Model' is to combine Sun Mountain's resource endowment with our industry-leading product technology, and through extensive cooperation in the industrial chain, build a complete hydrogen energy industry ecosystem locally, and realize a business model of integrated development of wind, light, hydrogen, storage, transmission and use, reduce costs in each link, make hydrogen energy have commercial value, and thus achieve a win-win situation for all parties."...more
