The Inner Mongolia section of Sinopec's cross-provincial, long-distance, and large-scale green hydrogen pipeline has been approved!

Recently, the Inner Mongolia section of the hydrogen transmission pipeline demonstration project from Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia, to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the first cross-province, long-distance, and large-scale green hydrogen pipeline project in China, has been officially approved.

This pipeline is a national-level experimental demonstration project aimed at promoting large-scale green hydrogen transmission and exploring an integrated commercial operation model for hydrogen energy's "production, storage, transmission, and utilization." It is also a key green hydrogen export project implemented in advance for Inner Mongolia's green hydrogen transmission pipeline network, invested and constructed by Sinopec New Star (Inner Mongolia) West Hydrogen East Transmission New Energy Co., Ltd. Upon completion, the project will effectively reduce green hydrogen transportation costs, further promote green hydrogen consumption, and support the construction of Inner Mongolia's entire industry chain for hydrogen energy's "production, storage, transmission, and utilization."

It is understood that on June 24th, the hydrogen transmission pipeline demonstration project from Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia, to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (Inner Mongolia section) received approval. The project unit is Sinopec New Star (Inner Mongolia) West Hydrogen East Transmission New Energy Co., Ltd., with a total project investment of 1,500,486,700 yuan.

Main construction content and scale: The hydrogen transmission pipeline demonstration project from Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia, to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (Inner Mongolia section) starts from the Shangdu initial station in Shangdu County, Ulanqab City, passes through Shangdu County and Xinghe County in Ulanqab City, and reaches the boundary between Inner Mongolia and Hebei, connecting with the pipeline in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. The overall direction of the pipeline is from north to south, with a total length of approximately 119 kilometers (51 kilometers in Shangdu County and 68 kilometers in Xinghe County). Two new stations and three valve chambers will be built, with a design pressure of 6.3 MPa. The pipe diameter from the Shangdu initial station to the Xinghe pigging station is D457 mm, and from the Xinghe pigging station to the boundary between Inner Mongolia and Hebei is D610 mm. The designed transmission capacity is 100,000 mt per year in the near term, with a reserved capacity of 500,000 mt per year in the long term.

Project construction period: November 2025 - December 2027.
