The Sinopec Shengli Oilfield Petrochemical Complex held a ceremony to mark the commissioning of a demonstration project for producing hydrogen through photovoltaic power and water electrolysis; the first megawatt-class green energy-based alkaline water electrolysis system for hydrogen production was officially put into operation. The project is divided into three modules: the photovoltaic power generation module, with an installed capacity of 6MW ； Electrolytic water hydrogen production module, with a hydrogen production capacity of 500 Nm3/h ； Electrochemical energy storage module, with an installed capacity of 1MW/1.2MWh. The project uses the alkaline electrolysis of water to produce green hydrogen, generating 123 tons of green hydrogen with a purity of 99.999% per year; compared to existing hydrogen production methods using dry gas, this approach results in a reduction of 2,535 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
