On December 2, Tian Yumin, Party Secretary and Chairman of Pucheng Clean Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Pujie Energy”), officially announced at the launch ceremony of the high-purity hydrogen product that the production of such products by Pujie Energy had begun! At the high-purity hydrogen filling station located in the southwest corner of the company, three filling columns are simultaneously filling three tube trailers with high-purity hydrogen having a purity of 99.999%. In recent years, driven by the \"dual carbon\" goals, hydrogen, regarded as the \"ultimate energy source\" of the zero-carbon era, has gradually stepped onto the stage of application and development. In order to actively respond to the **green energy development strategy and pursue high-quality growth characterized by sophistication, diversification, and low carbon emissions, while continuously expanding the industrial chain, optimizing the supply chain, and enhancing the value chain, Pu Jienenghua Company has formulated plans based on its actual production conditions to establish a project for the comprehensive utilization of hydrogen energy, thus embarking on a new path of innovative, green, and low-carbon development. It is reported that the hydrogen energy comprehensive utilization project was launched in September 2021. Using hydrogen recovered from the company’s 1.8 million tons per year methanol production facility as raw material, it produces high-purity hydrogen with a purity of over 99.999% through PSA pressure swing adsorption technology; this hydrogen is primarily used in downstream applications such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and high-purity reference gases. The project capacity is 24 million Nm3 per year (2,100 tons per year), and it successfully started up for trial operation with a single batch of feed in May 2022. In terms of filling methods, the filling system provided for this project can fill both hydrogen cylinders and hydrogen tube trailers simultaneously ； In terms of filling capacity, it can fill 4 tube trucks simultaneously, with a total filling rate of 3000 Nm3/h. This product boasts excellent quality and flexible filling methods, placing it at the leading level in the industry; its sales prospects are very promising, and it will generate additional profits of tens of millions of yuan for the company each year. Progress of Pujie Energy Chemical Project: The C4 comprehensive utilization project at Pujie Energy Chemical is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. According to a report from Pujie Energy Chemical in July 2022, the power distribution room for the C4 comprehensive utilization project was successfully powered up recently, which marks the transition of this project from the construction phase to the testing phase; this represents a milestone in the development of the C4 comprehensive utilization project. To extend the olefin industry chain, Pu Jieneng Chemical actively builds and prepares production lines for modified plastics, CO2-based biodegradable plastics, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, as well as facilities for olefin separation and expansion, as well as photovoltaic power generation projects. The main product of the C4 comprehensive utilization project is 1-butene. 1-butene is a copolymerizing monomer for the synthesis of polyethylene products. The C4 comprehensive utilization project is expected to come online in the second half of 2022, and once operational it will put an end to the reliance on purchased 1-butene for the production of polyethylene products. Hydrogen energy comprehensive utilization projects can produce hydrogen with a purity of 5 nines, which is widely used in areas such as hydrogen-powered vehicles and hydrogen batteries. Pu Jienenghua will also set up a testing facility for polyolefin products with an annual capacity of 25,000 tons, to develop high-value modified polyolefin materials and accelerate the shift in the product portfolio from a single type to a more diversified one. At present, the experimental setup is under intense design work.
