The National Energy Group's hydrogen and ammonia project has initiated tendering

On August 7, Guohua Investment Guohua Bayannur (Urad Middle Banner) Wind Power Co., Ltd. issued a tender announcement for the pre-consultation service of the Urad Middle Banner Wind Power to Hydrogen and Ammonia Integrated Project.

According to the tender announcement, Bayannur City in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region boasts unique resource advantages, with wind power equivalent utilization hours exceeding 3,600. The Group has operational projects in the region, including railways, chemicals, new energy, and water treatment, leveraging railway connections to synergize with port industries in Hebei and Shandong provinces.

Based on this, the Group plans to construct 10 million kW of new energy and 3 million mt of green fuel (raw material) in Bayannur. Following the principle of "phased planning and step-by-step implementation," the base project planning and construction will be carried out.

The first-phase pilot project is the Urad Middle Banner Wind Power to Hydrogen and Ammonia Integrated Project, which plans to construct 3.4 million kW of wind power, equipped with a certain proportion of electrochemical energy storage systems, and supporting facilities including electrolytic water hydrogen production stations and million-ton-level synthetic ammonia production stations. The project will establish a low-cost renewable energy in-situ conversion base for green fuel (raw material) in Bayannur City, utilizing the Group's internal railway and port advantages to jointly construct a low-cost transportation artery, transit and distribution center, and trade center with internal Group units.

Tender scope: Pre-consultation services for the proposed project, mainly including the preparation of various reports such as the pre-feasibility study report for the comprehensive section, model comparison and selection report, indicator application scheme report (including preliminary access system design report), production simulation report, wind power approval application report, energy storage system filing application report, long-term hazardous chemicals port terminal planning report, pre-feasibility study report for new energy projects, pre-feasibility study report for hydrogen and ammonia projects, pre-feasibility study report for railway branch lines, wind resource demonstration report, railway branch line inclusion and approval report, hydrogen and ammonia filing application report, etc., and completion of expert or internal reviews. Coordinate with the bid inviter to complete the preparation of various special reports required for project approval (including special reports on power marketing, production operation and maintenance, technological innovation, legal compliance risk analysis, information technology, etc.), and assist the bid inviter in carrying out project indicator application work.

Service period: 3 years from the date of contract signing or until the contract amount is fully executed, whichever comes first. Within 30 natural days from receiving the bid inviter's notice, the bidder must complete the preparation, review, and revision of the corresponding reports required by the bid inviter.
