On July 6, the 20,000-ton/year hydrogen production project from coke oven gas at Pengwan Hydrogen Port, operated by Shanxi Zhengwang Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd., achieved successful commissioning with the production of qualified hydrogen, marking the complete completion of the project and its successful delivery to the owner. This project adopts a hydrogen production method that relies primarily on coke oven gas for hydrogen production, with coal-based hydrogen production serving as a supplementary source. It is planned to integrate functions such as hydrogen production, storage, refueling, transportation, as well as related downstream industries and research and development, aiming to create a influential hydrogen energy industry demonstration base in Shanxi and across the country. The main downstream products of coke oven gas are high-purity hydrogen and low-purity hydrogen. High-purity hydrogen is used directly as fuel for hydrogen batteries, while low-purity hydrogen is fed back into the process to produce methanol along with LNG, ensuring efficient comprehensive utilization of hydrogen. As a major province for coal energy, Shanxi boasts the advantages of low cost and high efficiency in hydrogen production using coal gas. The hydrogen production pathway via coke oven gas, pioneered by this project, also serves as an excellent model to drive the green transformation and development of Shanxi Province.
