【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】China’s first large-scale integrated project for producing hydrogen from biogas was put into operation between 2011 and 2023

Thread Content

Looking at the ten-year development of chemical technology, I praise the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point to encourage more people to participate and make the discussion more lively. Hainan SeaChuan becomes even better with you here. [Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Equipment] – Continuous updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Enhance quality awareness and promote high-quality development. ----------------------------------------- The first of its kind nationwide! A project with an annual hydrogen production capacity of 2,200 tons has been put into operation in Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong. Recently, the country’s first large-scale integrated project for producing and adding hydrogen from biogas – the Hanlan Renewable Energy (Biogas) Hydrogen Production Project – was launched in Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. It is capable of producing around 2,200 tons of hydrogen per year, marking the full integration of Hanlan’s hydrogen business across all stages from production to delivery and utilization. Hanlan leverages its existing energy and solid waste industries to drive innovation, successfully achieving hydrogen production from biogas derived from kitchen waste. Next to the hydrogen production project, there is a food waste treatment project and three municipal solid waste incineration power generation projects. The fermentation of food waste generates large amounts of biogas, and leachate from household waste also produces biogas. By integrating resources from solid waste treatment projects, these biogases are collected through sealed pipelines and transported to hydrogen production stations, providing sufficient raw material for hydrogen production. At present, Hanlan operates 5 hydrogen refueling stations in the Nanhai District, with a total hydrogen refueling capacity of 4 tons per day. As of the end of August 2023, the total amount of hydrogen added amounted to 1,376 tons, with hydrogen being supplied to 154,300 vehicles in total. In 2022, HANLAN’s hydrogen refueling stations ranked second in the country among similar enterprises in terms of the total number of vehicles that were refueled and the amount of hydrogen supplied. The Nanhai District already has mature hydrogen application scenarios, including buses, logistics vehicles, and passenger cars. Last year, Hanlan was the first in the South China Sea region to introduce hydrogen-powered sanitation vehicles; to date, 54 such vehicles have been put into use, including rear-mounted compression trucks, high-pressure cleaning trucks, water sprinklers, cleaning vehicles, and road sweepers, which are employed in various tasks such as road cleaning, garbage collection, and the cleaning of urban pipelines. The official commissioning of Hanlan’s renewable energy (biogas) hydrogen production project marks Hanlan’s successful integration of various industries and processes such as food waste treatment, biogas-based hydrogen production, hydrogen refueling services, as well as the use of hydrogen in sanitation and waste collection vehicles, thereby achieving a fully integrated model for hydrogen production, refueling, transportation, and utilization. At the 2023 World Hydrogen Technology Conference (WHTC2023), the Nanhai District was awarded the title of “China’s Hydrogen Energy Industry Capital”. After more than a decade of continuous efforts in this area, the South Sea region has attracted over 150 enterprises and institutions, giving rise to a pyramid-shaped innovation ecosystem with Xianhu Laboratory at its core. It has become one of the county-level areas in China with the most complete hydrogen energy industry chain, the richest range of demonstration scenarios, the best supporting facilities, and the most comprehensive policy framework.
