Inauguration of Central Asia's First AEM Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Equipment Marks China-Kazakhstan Breakthrough

[SMM Hydrogen Energy News Brief] On April 9, the first AEM hydrogen production-magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage integrated system, independently developed by the Hydrogen Science Center of the School of Materials at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was officially put into operation in Kazakhstan. The system combines two core technologies — efficient hydrogen production and safe hydrogen storage — achieving deep intelligent coupling of hydrogen production and storage. It employs non-precious metal, low-cost green electricity dynamic direct-connection methods for hydrogen production and directly delivers hydrogen at low pressure to the magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage module, eliminating the need for high-pressure compression and cryogenic liquefaction, thereby pioneering a new pathway for the large-scale application of green hydrogen.

[SMM Hydrogen Energy News] On April 10, Jixi City in Heilongjiang Province held a significant event — the groundbreaking ceremony and technical exchange conference for the 300,000 mt green hydrogen-methanol-aviation fuel-chemical co-production project, which took place in Jidong County, Jixi City. It is understood that the project is invested and constructed by Heilongjiang Jiayirongyuan Green Chemical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiaze New Energy Co., Ltd., with a planned total investment of approximately 3.557 billion yuan. The core of the project lies in building an annual 300,000 mt green methanol production site and establishing a sustainable development system for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

[SMM Hydrogen Energy News Brief] Recently, Xindao Hydrogen Energy Technology (Baotou) Co., Ltd. and the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology jointly held a signing ceremony for industry-university-research cooperation. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiangsu Xindao Energy Group, Xindao Hydrogen Energy Technology (Baotou) Co., Ltd. is actively engaged in the construction of a hydrogen-based green fuel off-grid green electricity direct-connection project, which aims to achieve annual production targets of 1.485 billion kWh of green electricity, 291 million cubic meters of green hydrogen, and 200,000 mt of green methanol. The company is committed to promoting the commercialization and application of key technologies for efficient, balanced, and synergistic "electricity-hydrogen-carbon" integration, and has reached a cooperation agreement with a well-known South Korean shipping enterprise on the long-term supply and sales of green methanol.
