Recently, Sinopec announced that China's largest green electricity hydrogen production project - the green hydrogen chemical demonstration project in Wushen Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, was officially launched.

The project uses the abundant solar and wind energy resources in the Ordos area to generate electricity and directly produce hydrogen. This kind of hydrogen produced by using renewable energy without carbon emissions is called green hydrogen. After the project is put into operation, 30,000 tons of green hydrogen can be produced annually.

Xu Zhendong, Executive Director of Sinopec New Star Inner Mongolia Green Hydrogen New Energy Co., Ltd.: The green hydrogen and green oxygen produced by the project will be transported to the coal deep processing project through pipelines to replace the existing coal-to-hydrogen and promote the clean and low-carbonization of coal chemical products. After the project is completed, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.43 million tons per year, which is equivalent to planting 825,000 trees.

At present, China has become the world's largest hydrogen producer, but most of it comes from fossil fuels. The "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry" proposes that by 2025, my country's renewable energy hydrogen production will reach 100,000 to 200,000 tons per year, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million to 2 million tons per year.
