On September 27, the e-commerce platform of China Huadian Group issued a notice announcing the shortlisted candidates for the PC general contracting bid of the integrated demonstration project for wind power-driven hydrogen production and green methanol production at Liaoning Huadian Tiaobingshan, operated by Huadian Liaoning Energy Development Co., Ltd., with a capacity of 450,000 kilowatts. The notification states: China Huaneng Science & Technology Group Co., Ltd., ranked 1, bid price: 329,196.8566 million yuan ； China Power Construction Group Nuclear Engineering Co., Ltd., ranked 2nd, with a bid price of 3,298,102,654 yuan. The bidding information indicates that the project is located in Tiaobingshan City, Tieling Province ； The main projects include a 450-megawatt wind farm and related power transmission and distribution facilities, a 295-megawatt hydrogen production and storage system, an 80-megawatt/80-megawatt-hour energy storage station, and a methanol synthesis plant with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons. Once in operation, it will be able to produce 19,000 tons of green hydrogen and 100,000 tons of green methanol per year. It will cover the entire industrial chain for the production, storage, transportation, and utilization of green hydrogen. By taking advantage of Liaoning’s port facilities, it will become a base for exporting green methanol products both domestically and internationally. It is reported that the HuanDian Tiaobingshan project involves the construction of a 450MW wind power facility; a facility for producing hydrogen through water electrolysis with an output of 295MW, as well as a zone for storing 5,000 tons of hydrogen; a plant for purifying carbon dioxide at a rate of 140,000 tons per year; and a facility for producing green methanol via the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, with an output of 100,000 tons per year, along with a distillation unit. The project was designed by Sinochem Donghua Technology. The scope of this tender includes all tasks related to the wind power section, the chemical processing section, and the grid connection system, such as the procurement, installation, commissioning, and trial operation of all equipment, with the exception of fans. Hydrogen production section: This project is capable of producing 295 MW of hydrogen. It employs an innovative hybrid approach combining ALK and PEM electrolysis technologies, and adjusts the number of electrolyzers with different characteristics in accordance with the patterns of wind power generation. This flexible hydrogen production method ensures that energy utilization is optimized, providing strong support for the seamless operation of the green hydrogen-based energy industry chain. The high-power, efficient alkaline electrolyzer with a capacity of 3000 Nm³/h, as well as the PEM water-splitting hydrogen production system with a capacity of 500 Nm³/h, from the \"HD Hydrogen Energy\" product series, will be used. CO2 portion: The green carbon dioxide required for this project comes from the exhaust gases emitted by the fuel ethanol plant of Guotou Bioenergy (Tieling) Co., Ltd., located in the Tiaobingshan Chemical Industry Zone. This plant is only about 1 kilometer away from the methanol synthesis station, and carbon dioxide is transported there via pipelines. Methanol synthesis section: It employs the internationally leading Clariant catalytic hydrogenation process for carbon dioxide conversion. At the beginning of August, the **Energy Bureau** announced the list of (the first batch of) pilot projects focused on the development of green liquid fuel technologies and their industrialization. Among them, the 450,000-kilowatt wind power-based hydrogen production and green methanol production integrated project in Tiaobingshan, Liaoning Huadian, serves as the only representative from Liaoning Province and is included among the five national pilot projects for the industrialization of green methanol.
