Bureau Veritas Awards Renewable Ammonia Certification Certificate to Envision Energy

On May 21 local time in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Bureau Veritas awarded Envision Energy the world's first Renewable Ammonia Certification, marking that the green hydrogen and ammonia produced in the first phase of Envision Energy's green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chifeng became the world's first green ammonia product to receive this certification.

As the pioneer of the zero-carbon industrial park model and the owner of full-stack green hydrogen technology, Envision Energy is currently constructing the world's largest and lowest-cost green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chifeng. This project is also the world's first green hydrogen and ammonia project to achieve commercial operation. In March 2024, the first phase of the project's first stage, with a capacity of 300,000 mt of green hydrogen and ammonia, was successfully commissioned. Leveraging breakthroughs in innovative technologies for new-type power systems, the Envision Chifeng Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Project has successfully achieved dynamic coupling between wind and solar power storage and the production of hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, effectively overcoming major technological challenges in the development of zero-carbon hydrogen energy. The project uses 100% green electricity throughout the process for liquid ammonia production, supplying highly competitive green hydrogen products to domestic and overseas markets.

As a long-term strategic partner of Envision Energy, Bureau Veritas has in-depth cooperation across multiple business lines in the new energy sector. The Renewable Ammonia Certification awarded this time is an internationally recognized and authoritative certification. Its evaluation system is comprehensive and rigorous, focusing on key indicators such as the safety, sustainability, and low carbon emissions of the ammonia production process. This certification confirms that the ammonia produced at the Envision Chifeng Zero-Carbon Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park is 100% derived from renewable hydrogen, fully meeting stringent standards in terms of carbon emissions, safety, and environmental impact. This not only means that Envision Energy has successfully achieved safe and sustainable production of green hydrogen and ammonia within a framework that fully complies with international standards but also opens up a new path and takes a crucial and solid step forward for the commercial development of global green hydrogen and ammonia.

Yu Feng, Senior Vice President of Envision Energy and President of the Hydrogen Energy Market Product Line, stated, "The certification awarded by Bureau Veritas is a significant milestone for Envision on the path of green hydrogen and ammonia development, fully demonstrating our firm commitment to innovation and sustainable development. With a hydrogen production system driven by 100% renewable energy, we are redefining the future of green energy. This certification not only enhances Envision's industry credibility but also further strengthens our determination to accelerate the global energy transition."

Laurence Boisramé, Global Director of Hydrogen Energy at Bureau Veritas, emphasized, "The certification achieved by Envision Energy is of groundbreaking significance for the hydrogen energy industry. It strongly proves that large-scale hydrogen and ammonia production based on renewable energy can fully meet the strictest international quality, safety, and sustainability standards. The Envision project has not only enhanced transparency in the industry but also significantly boosted global market confidence in green hydrogen projects, injecting strong momentum into the healthy and sustainable development of the hydrogen energy sector."

This certification was conducted by the Bureau Veritas China hydrogen energy team, responsible for on-site verification of carbon emissions, safety, and ESG, with the certificate reviewed and issued by the Bureau Veritas France Technical Center.
