On January 23, the Baowu Qingneng (Yangjiang) Green Hydrogen Industrial Park project, with a total investment of 11.09 billion yuan, was officially launched in Yangjiang, Guangdong. The project will establish a production base for green hydrogen with an annual output of 80,000 tons, a green ammonia production line, a base for advanced hydrogen energy equipment, a production line for solid hydrogen storage materials, and an innovation and R&D center. 　　 Upon completion, Yangjiang will become the largest offshore wind power-based direct hydrogen production hub in eastern China and one of the leading such hubs globally, marking a crucial step forward for Guangdong Province in its strategy for green hydrogen development. A new benchmark for clean energy: Baowu leads the way in achieving zero-carbon transformation. As the specialized platform for clean energy under China Baowu, Baowu Clean Energy continues to pursue a dual strategy of leveraging both clean energy and industrial gases, thereby accelerating its progress in the field of new energy. The Yangjiang project is not only an industrial investment but also a global demonstration of the zero-carbon circular model of \"green electricity – green hydrogen – green metallurgy,\" providing a replicable technical pathway for the low-carbon transformation of the steel industry and other energy-intensive sectors. Wind power-based hydrogen production connects the entire industry chain, creating a \"hydrogen transport corridor\" in Guangdong. This project introduces a novel approach of using offshore wind power directly for hydrogen production, integrating the entire wind power and hydrogen energy sector. In the future, it will facilitate the establishment of a hydrogen transport corridor in Guangdong Province, thereby creating a clean energy network centered around green hydrogen. Through direct supply of green electricity and direct connection to green hydrogen, it drives the development of upstream and downstream industrial clusters such as hydrogen-related equipment, green ammonia, and green alcohols, thereby helping to create a green hydrogen ecosystem worth hundreds of billions. A dual hub for technology and industry to drive green development in the Greater Bay Area. The park will feature a research and development center for new hydrogen production equipment as well as production lines for solid hydrogen storage materials, aiming to become a globally competitive hub for innovation in green hydrogen technologies. The implementation of this project will significantly enhance Guangdong’s strategic leadership in the field of green hydrogen, providing strong impetus for the optimization of the energy structure and industrial upgrading in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. 　　 The Yangjiang Green Hydrogen Industrial Park, whose construction is set to begin today, will become the world’s largest project for producing hydrogen directly from offshore wind energy. Through the industrial ecosystem of \"green electricity – green hydrogen – green metallurgy,\" it will foster the development of hydrogen-related equipment manufacturing as well as related industrial clusters, providing a replicable zero-carbon transformation pathway for the steel and other industrial sectors. Baowu Green Hydrogen Industrial Park: An integrated wind power-to-hydrogen project has been invested in and built in Yangjiang City, where hydrogen is produced directly through the use of 1.5GW of offshore wind power to generate green electricity; the annual production capacity of green hydrogen is 80,000 tons. 　　 With a total investment of 11.09 billion yuan, this project is the largest green hydrogen industry project in eastern China to date. It will play a significant role in promoting the development of industries related to hydrogen energy equipment, as well as those involved in the production of green hydrogen, ammonia, and alcohols in Guangdong Province, thereby contributing to the creation of a green hydrogen industry cluster worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Upon completion, the project will significantly enhance Guangdong Province’s strategic leadership in the field of green hydrogen, serving as a model for promoting the large-scale development of the hydrogen energy industry. High-end Hydrogen Production Equipment Manufacturing Base: Focused on the research, development of key technical equipment and products for green hydrogen production, this base undertakes the large-scale, intelligent, and efficient manufacturing of low-cost, highly active, long-lasting nanocatalytic hydrogen production equipment based on non-precious metals. 　　By integrating digital workshops with flexible production lines, modular customization of megawatt-class equipment is achieved; the power consumption per cubic meter of hydrogen is less than 3.9 kWh, reaching an internationally advanced level, thus serving as a \"core strength\" to ensure self-sufficiency and control over strategic equipment for hydrogen energy. Production base for new solid hydrogen storage materials: By exploring solid hydrogen storage methods using metals such as magnesium, sodium, aluminum, and calcium, which offer high hydrogen storage density and high safety levels, this project aims to establish the largest production base for solid hydrogen storage materials in South China. It will not only meet the market demands in Guangdong but also serve markets both domestically and internationally. Green Hydrogen R&D Center: This center was established jointly by Baowu Clean Energy Company and the Key Laboratory of New Metal Materials at Beijing University of Science and Technology.
