Downstream, supporting facilities include a 150,000 tons per year carbon dioxide purification plant, a 100,000 tons per year green methanol synthesis plant, along with the associated utility systems. 2.1.2 Project Overview The 100,000-ton/year Liquid Sunlight – Methanol Production from Carbon Dioxide and Green Hydrogen Technology Demonstration Project (hereinafter referred to as the Liquid Sunlight Demonstration Project) is located in Wushen Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. The project involves the construction of a new energy power generation facility with a capacity of 625 MW, as well as a system for producing and storing hydrogen through water electrolysis at a rate of 21,000 tons per year. In addition, there is a downstream facility for demonstrating the methanol production technology using carbon dioxide and green hydrogen on a scale of 100,000 tons per year. This project represents the world’s first large-scale industrial demonstration of Liquid Sunlight technology, initiated by China National Coal Group in order to leverage its role as a leading central enterprise, in collaboration with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The project mainly consists of three parts: new energy wind and solar power generation, hydrogen production and storage via water electrolysis (including electrochemical energy storage), and green methanol synthesis. Among them, the total planned installed capacity for new energy wind and solar power generation is 625 MW, comprising 225 MW from wind power and 400 MW from photovoltaic power. Wind power and photovoltaics jointly construct a 220kV step-up substation, which is located within the wind farm area. It is planned to install 2 320 MVA split step-up transformers, and the power is intended to be delivered to the pressure reduction station of the hydrogen production plant in this project via a 75-kilometer-long 220 kV transmission line. Over 80% of the annual electricity generated is consumed on-site at the hydrogen production and storage station, while the remaining electricity is sent to the power grid via the step-down station at the hydrogen production station. For the hydrogen production and storage via electrolytic water splitting, the planned hydrogen production capacity is 21,000 tons per year. The scale of alkaline electrolysis for hydrogen production is 46,200 Nm³/h. There will be 36 electrolyzers with a capacity of 1,200 Nm³/h each, and 2 electrolyzers with a capacity of 1,500 Nm³/h each. Additionally, 10 spherical hydrogen storage tanks with a volume of 2,000 m³ each will be installed, resulting in a total hydrogen storage capacity of 220,000 Nm³. The project consumes approximately 1.13 billion kWh of electricity per year; the power is supplied directly from its own renewable energy wind and solar power plants to the hydrogen production and storage units, where it is used as a power source for water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. Electrochemical energy storage section: Building a 2.5MW/5MWh electrochemical energy storage system on top of the 220,000 Nm3 hydrogen storage capacity will not only ensure the safe operation of the integrated wind and solar hydrogen production demonstration project but also enhance the project’s ability to handle peak loads, improve resource utilization, and reduce the amount of wind and solar energy that is wasted.
