On November 3, Qinghai Province’s first green electricity-based hydrogen production project – the “HuanDian Delingha 3MW photovoltaic hydrogen production project” – officially commenced construction. This project sets a new record for the largest PEM hydrogen production capacity in the country. It is reported that the project is located at the western exit of Delingha City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It was invested and constructed by China Huadian Qinghai Company. The hydrogen production capacity is 600 standard cubic meters per hour; a hydrogen refueling station with a capacity of 500 kilograms per ton (over 12 hours) will be built, along with 3 sets of megawatt-class PEM water electrolysis systems and hydrogen filling systems operating at 20 megapascals. During a recent investor meeting, HuanDian Heavy Industry stated that the company is involved in science and technology research projects initiated by China HuanDian under the “identify challenges and take charge of solving them” initiative. The company’s 1200 Nm3/h alkaline electrolyzers have been manufactured, and it is also actively developing PEM electrolyzers for hydrogen production. Both types of hydrogen production devices are suitable for dealing with the high volatility and uncertainty associated with renewable energy sources; they can be used in renewable energy generation projects to help utilize such energy sources ； It can be applied to hydrogen production in areas with power redundancy, to utilize the excess electrical energy.
