Longi Hydrogen wins Sinopec electrolyser contract
Chinese project worth $471mn aims to produce 20,000t/yr of green hydrogen from June 2023
Electrolyser manufacturer Longi Hydrogen—a division of Chinese solar firm Longi—has won a contract to supply an alkaline electrolyser to Sinopec’s green hydrogen demonstration project in China. The $471mn development aims to produce 20,000t/yr of green hydrogen from June 2023. Construction began in November last year. The plant will be powered by a 300MW solar farm with modules provided by four different companies. One contract has already been awarded to Chinese manufacturer Risen Energy. Green hydrogen produced by the plant will be supplied to Sinopec Tahe Refining & Chemical to replace grey hydrogen used in existing processes. “Longi hydrogen electrolysis equipment is reliable, safe a
