The Ordos electrolytic water hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and comprehensive hydrogen utilization integration scenario has completed construction of the Yitai 1.2 million mt fine chemicals project and the Haohua 400,000 mt methanol project, and plans to attract hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and carbon dioxide hydrogenation bio-fermentation industry chain enterprises.
The Bayannur green hydrogen-ammonia scenario and the green hydrogen production-green ammonia application scenario leverage the resource advantages of one of the city's richest wind energy areas, with average annual wind speeds above 8 m/s and annual equivalent generation hours exceeding 3,500. Bayannur has introduced wind and solar hydrogen production and green ammonia-methanol related enterprises to build a green ammonia manufacturing and export gateway in western Inner Mongolia. In the green hydrogen production-green ammonia application scenario, the Ganqimaodu port handled 42.43 million mt of freight in 2024, with approximately 30,000 heavy-duty trucks operating year-round on the China-Mongolia route at the Ganqimaodu port, creating enormous market potential for the transition to hydrogen-powered heavy trucks.
Hydrogen energy industrial park and equipment manufacturing scenarios: The Baotou hydrogen energy industry application scenario has taken the lead in building the Baotou Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park, the first in the autonomous region to feature supporting equipment manufacturing for the hydrogen energy storage industry. The park covers an area of 138 mu, with a total floor area of 72,000 m², and is equipped with supporting facilities for hydrogen refueling stations, nitrogen, compressed air, cooling water, and purified water. For hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing enterprises entering the park, full-chain supporting capacity is strong. The park has already attracted multiple hydrogen energy industry leaders such as Shanghai Shenergy, H-Rise, and Kunhua. The Shangdanyun project is a demonstration project for new energy hydrogen production with annual hydrogen consumption of 200,000 m³, producing 7,800 mt of green hydrogen annually. The phase II project already has an annual green hydrogen production capacity of 47,000 mt, providing abundant green hydrogen resources. At the same time, full-chain supporting construction for generation-grid-load-storage has formed a hydrogen production engineering layout system of "hydrogen production in the north, hydrogen use in the south, pipeline network connection, and full-area coverage".
