Sungrow Hydrogen to Supply Electrolysers for Chinese E-Methanol Project
Key Ideas
- Sungrow Hydrogen will supply 96MW of alkaline electrolysers to China Coal Ordos Energy Chemical's Liquid Sunshine demonstration project in Inner Mongolia.
- The project aims to produce e-methanol by combining green hydrogen and CO2 captured from a coal-powered chemical plant's operations.
- Upon completion, the project is expected to have 625MW of wind and solar capacity, reducing 500,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, with operations set to begin in October next year.
- As part of China's focus on e-methanol production, the project aligns with the country's growing interest in hydrogen fuel cell technology and its commitment to sustainability.
Sungrow Hydrogen, a subsidiary specializing in electrolyzer production, is set to deliver 16 alkaline electrolyser units to China Coal Ordos Energy Chemical's Liquid Sunshine project in Inner Mongolia. This $680 million initiative will leverage green hydrogen and captured CO2 from a coal-powered plant to create e-methanol. Sungrow will also provide gas-liquid separation systems. The project, combining 625MW of wind and solar energy, aims to reduce 500,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and is slated for operation in October next year. China's interest in e-methanol aligns with its national hydrogen strategy, targeting a 35 million tonne annual demand by 2035. The country's industrial processes, like coal gasification, present opportunities for hydrogen production. China's role in the fuel cell industry and commitment to sustainable energy solutions highlight the significance of projects like the one in Inner Mongolia.
