The Daan Wind and Solar Power-Based Green Hydrogen for Ammonia Production Integrated Project was submitted for approval. On January 7, 2023, the environmental impact assessment report related to the hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis portion of this demonstration project was made public prior to submission for approval. Daan An Green Hydrogen for Ammonia Production Integrated Demonstration Project (Hydrogen Production and Ammonia Synthesis Section)Project location: The area south of Yi San Road in the Jilin West (Daan An) Clean Energy Chemical Industry Park, Daan An City, Jilin Province.
Project company: Daan An Jidian Green Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd.
Project overview: This project involves the installation of 50 sets of PEM hydrogen production equipment and 36 sets of alkaline solution-based hydrogen production equipment, resulting in a hydrogen production capacity of 46,000 Nm3/h. There is also a hydrogen storage facility with a capacity of 60,000 Nm3, as well as 1 nitrogen production unit with a capacity of 20,000 Nm3/h. In addition, there is 1 ammonia synthesis plant with a capacity of 180,000 tons per year. A 220 kV substation will be built within the park. The total land area occupied by the project is 297,012.12 m2. Project investment: 2,549,779.3 thousand yuan, of which the amount invested in environmental protection measures is 51,826.5 thousand yuan. On October 26, 2022, the Development and Reform Bureau of Daan City officially approved the Daan wind and solar power-based green hydrogen production for ammonia synthesis integrated demonstration project (the wind power component). Daan’an Wind Power-based Green Hydrogen for Ammonia Production Integrated Demonstration Project (Wind Power Section): The construction scale involves the installation of 140 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 5.0 megawatts, resulting in a total capacity of 700 megawatts. Of this amount, 300 megawatts of power generated by the wind turbines will be used for local consumption without being fed into the grid, while the remaining 400 megawatts of power generated will be used locally and any excess will be supplied to the grid ； A new 220 kV step-up substation will be constructed, along with auxiliary facilities such as box transformers and collection lines, and 40 megawatt/80 megawatt-hour energy storage systems will be installed. Project investment: 3,351,220,600 yuan
On October 26, 2022, the launch event for the “Hydrogen-Powered Jilin” initiative and the integrated demonstration project for producing green hydrogen from wind and solar energy to manufacture ammonia was held at the Western Jilin (Daan) Clean Energy Chemical Industry Park. On the evening of December 30, 2022, Jilin Electric Power Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Jilin Electric Power”) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Daan Jilin Electric Green Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd., plans to invest in the construction of an integrated demonstration project for producing green hydrogen and ammonia using wind and solar energy in Daan. The total investment required for this project is 5.956 billion yuan. Jidian Shares stated that this project adopts a model in which green hydrogen is used to consume green electricity, and green ammonia is used to consume green hydrogen. It serves as a pilot application in the \"electricity-hydrogen-ammonia\" industry chain, helping to address the challenges related to the utilization of new energy sources in the region as well as the bottlenecks in the hydrogen industry’s development. It plays a significant strategic role in accelerating the establishment of a new type of energy system and achieving a transformation in the energy structure. It also serves as a model project for promoting the rapid and high-quality development of China’s hydrogen industry, for building a new type of power system, and for advancing the achievement of the \"dual carbon\" goals as well as a greener approach to economic development. Jidian Co., Ltd. stated that the project utilizes advanced domestic technologies such as PEM and alkaline electrolysis for hydrogen production, cryogenic air separation for nitrogen production, and low-pressure ammonia synthesis. The ammonia production capacity is coordinated intelligently with renewable energy generation, thereby achieving true \"load adjustment based on energy availability.\" This approach helps the company seize the opportunities presented by the energy revolution, drive the development of the regional industry, and further enhance its influence.
