Annual production of 660 tons of green hydrogen! Public notice regarding Phase I of the Sinopec Junggar Dish Solar Thermal Green Hydrogen Project

Thread Content

In 2026, during the 25th National “Safety Production Month”, everyone is encouraged to prioritize safety and be capable of responding to emergencies; efforts are also being made to identify and rectify potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- On June 26, the second public notice regarding Phase I of the 20,000-ton hydrogen production project via solar-thermal water splitting at the Sinopec Zhundong No. 6 Station, operated by Hexi Xinjiang New Energy, was released. The project is located on the northwest side of Sinopec Station 6 in the Zhundong Economic Development Zone, Changji, Xinjiang, covering an area of 50 mu. Upon completion of Phase 1, it will produce 2 tons of green hydrogen and 16 tons of green oxygen per day, with an annual output of 660 tons of green hydrogen and 5,280 tons of green oxygen. The station is equipped with dish concentrators, high-temperature thermal energy storage systems, Stirling generators, RSOC hydrogen production reactors, hydrogen purification units, and a complete intelligent automatic control system, enabling the integrated production of zero-carbon green hydrogen. In April this year, Hexi Xinjiang New Energy held in-depth discussions with Sinopec Xinjiang Petroleum Branch and Zhundong Economic Development Zone. Lu Yechun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Sinopec Xinjiang Petroleum Branch, said that the company will collaborate with us to focus on green hydrogen production, integration with coal chemical industries, and the construction of hydrogen refueling stations, thereby promoting the application of hydrogen energy in various scenarios and facilitating the local energy sector’s green transition. Xu Jinpeng, Chairman of the company, stated that efforts will be made to accelerate the implementation and commercialization of dish-type solar thermal hydrogen production technology, with the aim of establishing a regional demonstration base for large-scale green hydrogen production. Leveraging its proprietary disk-type photothermal + RSOC hydrogen production technology, the project is capable of producing hydrogen steadily around the clock, while also generating high-purity green oxygen, to meet the hydrogen demands of mining areas, industries, and transportation sectors. The implementation of this project represents an important step forward in the collaborative development between central state-owned enterprises and private technology firms. In the future, Hexi New Energy will continue to advance the industrialization of solar thermal green hydrogen, using its core technologies to support the achievement of carbon neutrality goals.
