【Hydrogen Energy】Tianjin Petrochemical’s fuel cell hydrogen filling capacity is 3,000 kg per day to ensure supply for the Tianjin market

Thread Content

Recently, a tube-type container truck carrying 211 kilograms of hydrogen from fuel cells left the purification unit of Tianjin Petrochemical’s fuel cell hydrogen project, heading to a designated hydrogen refueling station in Tianjin to supply clean energy to 5 hydrogen-powered heavy trucks. This is also the first time that Tianjin Petrochemical has ensured a supply for the Tianjin market after supplying hydrogen energy for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Project scale: The total investment amounts to nearly 50 million RMB. It consists of a hydrogen purification unit with a design capacity of 3,000 standard cubic meters per hour, and a hydrogen filling unit with a capacity of 2,000 standard cubic meters per hour. Construction began in June this year, and the project was successfully completed at the beginning of September. Process technology: It utilizes the S-PSA patented technology independently developed by Sinopec, which features a small footprint, low power consumption, and the ability to operate well under conditions of frequent start-up and shutdown. On October 31, 2020, Rongcheng Group and Tianjin Petrochemical officially became strategic partners. Guided by the principles of long-term vision, complementary strengths, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation, and taking into account the development strategy for hydrogen energy, the two parties worked to establish a complete industrial chain for hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization, thereby creating long-term and stable supply relationships in the hydrogen energy sector. At present, the fuel cell hydrogen project at Tianjin Petrochemical has a daily filling capacity of 3,000 kilograms and an annual production capacity of 2,250 tons, which is sufficient to meet the hydrogen demand of all hydrogen refueling stations in Tianjin and helps to enhance the hydrogen production and supply capacity in North China. It is the largest hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply project in Tianjin, and it holds great significance for Tianjin Petrochemical to achieve the goals of \"carbon peak\" and \"carbon neutrality\" as well as for establishing Tianjin as an important hydrogen energy industry hub in China.
