  • The problem of electrolyser corrosion from salt water and other impurities appears to have been overcome through 'specially designed key equipment and unique processes'

China's Sinopec has successfully completed a pilot project for green hydrogen production in the Xinjiang Kuqa area, marking a significant step in sustainable energy development. The project, which began in 2021, utilizes a 25 MW solar photovoltaic system to power a 10 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser, producing green hydrogen with zero carbon emissions. This initiative not only showcases Sinopec's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint but also integrates advanced technology like AI for optimizing hydrogen production and energy efficiency. The green hydrogen produced is used in Sinopec's Tahe Refining & Chemical's hydrogenation unit, replacing traditional grey hydrogen and thereby reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 18,600 tonnes annually. This project is part of Sinopec's broader strategy to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050, highlighting the potential of green hydrogen in the transition to cleaner energy sources.
