Sinopec’s Ordos Green Hydrogen Project (China)

Sinopec’s Ordos Green Hydrogen Project: A Beacon of China’s Clean Energy Ambitions

China, the world’s largest energy consumer, is making significant strides in its transition towards cleaner energy sources. 

A key player in this effort is Sinopec, a leading energy and chemical company, with its ambitious Ordos Green Hydrogen Project paving the way for a greener future.

Project Overview:

• Located in the Erdos region of Inner Mongolia, the project boasts a planned annual capacity of 30,000 tons of green hydrogen and 240,000 tons of green oxygen.




• Leveraging the region’s abundant solar and wind energy resources, the project utilizes electrolysis to produce hydrogen without carbon emissions, unlike traditional methods that rely on fossil fuels.




• This green hydrogen is primarily intended to decarbonize the adjacent ZTHC Energy intensive coal processing pilot project, showcasing its potential for clean industrial applications.

Technological Aspects:

• The project employs alkaline electrolyzers (AEL), a mature and cost-effective technology suitable for large-scale hydrogen production.




• Integration with renewable energy sources
