Spring has arrived in 2024, and Happy Forum is here **********************【A Decade of Great Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】Continuous updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum Website) ***************** On March 16, 2024, China National Petroleum Corporation’s first large-scale hydrogen production facility using renewable energy was put into operation at the Yumen Oilfield. The hydrogen produced there has a purity of 99.99%, and it is delivered to enterprises such as the Yumen Oilfield Refining Complex through hydrogen pipelines and tube trailers, thus enabling a complete cycle from production to utilization. The renewable energy-based hydrogen production demonstration project at the Yumen Oilfield officially commenced operations on August 8, 2023. A hydrogen production facility was built, equipped with 3 alkaline electrolyzers capable of producing 1,000 standard cubic meters of hydrogen per hour each, as well as 1 proton exchange membrane electrolyzer; the annual hydrogen production capacity of this facility is 2,100 tons. Leveraging Gansu Province’s advantages in new energy development and the concentration of chemical industries in Jiuquan, this project makes full use of the region’s abundant wind and solar resources to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, thereby providing clean energy for industries such as chemicals, metallurgy, and transportation. As of March 20, over 40,000 standard cubic meters of hydrogen had been sold externally.
