CIMC Enric Win Bid for the Largest Green Hydrogen-Ammonia-Methanol Integration Project in China

Recently, Jingmen Hongtu Special Aircraft Manufacturing CO., LTD. (“Jingmen Hongtu”) and Shijiazhuang Enric Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Shijiazhuang Enric”), subsidiaries of CIMC Enric, have won the bid for the hydrogen storage equipment in the Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park (Green Hydrogen-ammonia-methanol Integration) General Contracting Project of China Energy Engineering, demonstrating the technical strength of CIMC Enric in terms of the large-scale hydrogen-ammonia- methanol storage and transportation.

It is known that Jingmen Hongtu will produce 15 medium pressure hydrogen storage spherical tanks for the first phase of the project, including 14 units of 2,000 m³ hydrogen storage spherical tanks and 1 unit of 1,500 m³ hydrogen storage spherical tank, which will become the largest hydrogen storage spherical tank project currently under construction in China in terms of the total capacity of green hydrogen storage and the number of spherical tanks. Shijiazhuang Enric will provide 8 sets of high-pressure compressor buffer tanks to adjust the hydrogen pressure to ensure the stability and safety of hydrogen transportation.

As the largest innovation demonstration project for green ammonia and green methanol synthesized by green hydrogen currently under construction in China and an key project for Jilin Province to develop the “Northern China Hydrogen Valley” and "Onshore Scenery Three Gorges", Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park of China Energy Engineering has been selected as one of the first batch of green and low-carbon advanced technology demonstration projects of the National Development and Reform Commission. The project is planned to be completed in three phases with a total investment of RMB29.6 billion, and is expected to annually produce 110,000 tons of green hydrogen, 600,000 tons of green synthetic ammonia and 60,000 tons of green methanol after completion, with a new energy project for a capacity of 3 million kilowatt to be built.

“Medium pressure spherical tank hydrogen storage and high pressure hydrogen storage bottle group technology is the most skilled and economical hydrogen storage solution in the field of hydrogen storage. The Company has delivered hydrogen storage and its related equipment for green hydrogen projects of China Huadian, Goldwind Science&Technology and other industry players,” said Yang Baoying, head of CIMC Hydrogen Energy. Involving in the implementation of green hydrogen-ammonia- methanol integration project of China Energy Engineering stands for not only a recognition of the technology power of hydrogen storage of CIMC Enric, but also showcases professional prowess of integrated solution of design, resource integration and construction of the Company.

As a leading global provider of hydrogen solutions, CIMC Enric is the only comprehensive service provider in China that has diversified hydrogen storage and transportation technology routes, such as medium pressure, high pressure, liquid hydrogen and liquid ammonia. In addition, as a comprehensive service provider with business presence expanded into upstream hydrogen production and downstream co-generation, CIMC Enric has rich project experience and integrated solution capabilities in the fields of green hydrogen, green methane and green ammonia.

According to the White Paper on the Development of Green Hydrogen Energy Industry issued by the China Center for Information Industry Development under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the second quarter of 2024, there are approximately 80 renewable energy hydrogen production projects under construction in China, with an annual production capacity of approximately 847,000 tons. The production capacity of green hydrogen in China is expected to triple in 2024 as compared to last year. Hydrogen storage and transportation technology plays an essential role in the hydrogen energy industry chain, while large-scale hydrogen storage and transportation solutions are crucial for smooth implementation of green hydrogen projects and efficient utilization of hydrogen energy.

“2024 is a year of a boom of green hydrogen industry. China’s emphasis on clean energy and favorable policy serves as an all-round guarantee for the development of the hydrogen energy industry. CIMC Enric continues to enhance its technological innovation and research and development capabilities, overcome difficulties, strive to reduce the cost of hydrogen storage and transportation, participate in the development of domestic and overseas hydrogen energy projects, promote market-oriented development of hydrogen energy, and make greater contributions to international energy transformation and sustainable development.” said Yang Xiaohu, an executive director and the president of CIMC Enric.
