On December 8, Sinopec Guangxi Petroleum Nanning Zhenxing Energy Refueling Station was completed and put into trial operation. This is my country's first commercial distributed ammonia hydrogen production and hydrogenation integrated station. This station adopts Sinopec’s independently developed distributed ammonia hydrogen production complete set of technology. It covers an area of ​​only 80 square meters and has a hydrogen production capacity of 240 standard cubic meters per hour. It can produce 500 kilograms of 99.999% high-purity hydrogen per day. The hydrogen production scale is the largest of its kind and can meet the hydrogen needs of more than 40 hydrogen fuel vehicles. Compared with Guangxi's previous hydrogen use method, the cost has dropped by 60%, providing a new way to solve the transportation and storage problems faced by the development of my country's hydrogen energy industry. The successful commissioning of this integrated station is an important step in the development of the hydrogen energy industry in my country. The storage and transportation of hydrogen are key links restricting the development of the hydrogen energy industry chain. At present, hydrogen refueling stations in my country mainly rely on long-tube trailers for transportation. The hydrogen transportation capacity is low and the cost is high. Ammonia decomposition hydrogen production is a technical route for hydrogen production, that is, ammonia is decomposed into nitrogen and hydrogen through an ammonia decomposition catalyst, and the hydrogen is purified to meet relevant energy needs. Ammonia is an efficient hydrogen storage medium with the advantages of easy storage and transportation and low storage and transportation costs. The ammonia decomposition hydrogen production process does not emit carbon dioxide and is more environmentally friendly. Therefore, the application of ammonia decomposition hydrogen production technology provides new possibilities for the development of my country's hydrogen energy industry.
