Progress on the construction of Pengwan Hydrogen Port project, which aims to produce 200,000 tons of hydrogen per year from coke oven gas. Author/Source: Coal-based New Materials. Date: February 7, 2022. Clicks: 7. The total investment in this project is 20 billion yuan; it will be built in three phases. Once fully operational, the project will be able to generate an annual output value of 10 billion yuan. As the lowest-cost and most efficient approach to hydrogen production on a global scale, this project adopts a hydrogen production method that relies primarily on coke oven gas, with coal-based hydrogen production serving as a supplementary source. It is planned to develop an integrated facility that covers hydrogen production, storage, refueling, transportation, as well as related industries and research and development, with the goal of turning Pengwan Hydrogen Port into a influential demonstration site for the hydrogen industry in Shanxi and across the country. Zheng Peng, the chairman of the board of Pengfei Group Co., Ltd., told reporters: “We have the confidence, determination, and capability to develop the route of producing hydrogen from coal gas – the method with the lowest costs and highest efficiency. We are determined to pioneer a new path in this area across the province and even nationwide, and to contribute Pengfei’s efforts to building a hydrogen industry base worth hundreds of billions of yuan and to achieving the ‘dual carbon’ goals.” ” It is reported that Lüliang currently has an annual coking production capacity of 38 million tons, as well as a capacity for 3.5 billion cubic meters of unconventional natural gas, which provides important support for large-scale hydrogen production. How can resource advantages be transformed into advantages arising from latecomer status? To develop the hydrogen energy industry, Lüliang has established an overall strategy and development goals of \"one core, two wings, three ports, and four chains\". The Pengwan Hydrogen Port project of Pengfei Group, which has an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of hydrogen produced from coke oven gas, is an important part of these “two wings”. The project manager of China Chemical Engineering Ninth Construction Co., Ltd. told reporters, “As the contractor, we will further optimize the construction process, increase the allocation of personnel and machinery, and remain at our posts during the Spring Festival to ensure the project progresses swiftly and steadily.” ” A responsible official from Xiaoyi City said in an interview with reporters, “We must be guided by the spirit of the 12th Provincial Party Congress. We should consider those who achieve high-quality development as heroes, and strive to become a pilot area for promoting high-quality development in all aspects. We need to take the lead in transforming our traditional industries, assume the role of pioneers in the energy revolution, and blaze a new path in the use of coke oven gas for hydrogen production across the province and even the whole country, so as to contribute Xiaoyi’s share to achieving the ‘dual carbon’ goals.” ” Similarly, in the New Materials Park of Lüliang Economic Development Zone, the vehicle production project for hydrogen fuel commercial vehicles, with a total investment of 1.8 billion yuan, has officially begun construction. The first phase of the project requires an investment of 500 million yuan to build facilities capable of producing 5,000 new energy commercial vehicles per year. Once the entire project is operational, it will generate an annual output value of 20 billion yuan and create more than 3,000 new jobs.
