Recently, the hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply center project at Sinopec Maoming Petrochemical successfully produced hydrogen with a purity of 99.999%. The project has a hydrogen production capacity of 6,400 kilograms per day, and can supply 2,100 tons of high-purity hydrogen to society each year. At present, Phase 1 of the project is equipped with a hydrogen purification unit capable of producing 3,000 cubic meters per hour of hydrogen, as well as a hydrogen refueling station that can handle 3,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day. The hydrogen produced will be supplied to cities in the Greater Bay Area, including Foshan, and it will initially meet the hydrogen needs of hydrogen-powered buses in those areas. It is reported that in the second phase of the project, another filling compressor and two hydrogenation columns will be added at an appropriate time, enabling supply to 10 hydrogen refueling stations and meeting the hydrogen needs of around 400 buses or logistics vehicles.
The Maoming Petrochemical Hydrogen Fuel Cell Hydrogen Supply Center is currently the largest hydrogen supply center for hydrogen fuel cells in South China, and it is the only hydrogen supply project in western Guangdong. Sinopec stated that the official operation of this center lays a solid foundation for establishing a \"hydrogen corridor\" connecting Maoming, Yangjiang, and Jiangmen with key cities in the Greater Bay Area such as Foshan and Guangzhou. It is understood that Sinopec has successively established 9 hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply centers across the country at Yanshan Petrochemical, Tianjin Petrochemical, Qilu Petrochemical, Qingdao Petrochemical, Takahashi Petrochemical, Shanghai Petrochemical, Guangzhou Petrochemical, Hainan Refining & Chemical, and Maoming Petrochemical. In recent years, Sinopec has focused on two key areas: hydrogen-based transportation and green hydrogen in the refining industry, and has made significant efforts to develop integrated hydrogen-related businesses. In the field of hydrogen-powered transportation, in addition to accelerating the deployment of hydrogen refueling stations, Sinopec’s Yanshan Petrochemical, Tianjin Petrochemical, Qilu Petrochemical, Qingdao Refining & Chemical, Takahashi Petrochemical, Shanghai Petrochemical, Guangzhou Petrochemical, Hainan Refining & Chemical, and Maoming Petrochemical have so far built 9 hydrogen fuel cell fuel supply centers across the country.
