Green Hydrogen Project Tracking: Supporting Wind Power Project for the Da'an Integrated Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Production Demonstration Project Achieves Full-Capacity Grid Connection

Recently, the 100 MW Section (Northern Zone Section 2) of the 700 MW wind power project, which is part of the world's largest monomer green ammonia unit—the Da'an Wind-Solar Green Hydrogen to Ammonia Integrated Demonstration Project—and constructed with the participation of Hubei Engineering Company, has achieved full-capacity grid connection. Powered by green electricity generated from wind energy, the project will provide comprehensive green electricity support for the chemical park.

It is understood that the Da'an Wind-Solar Green Hydrogen to Ammonia Integrated Demonstration Project is divided into two parts: new energy and hydrogen production/ammonia synthesis. Leveraging the high-quality wind, solar, and water resources in the Baicheng area of Jilin Province, the project innovatively adopts an entire industry chain design approach of "green hydrogen consuming green electricity, green ammonia consuming green hydrogen, and generation-grid-load-storage integration." It involves the development of 800 MW of new energy installed capacity, comprising 700 MW of wind power and 100 MW of PV. The project utilizes a hybrid alkaline and PEM water electrolysis process for hydrogen production, with an annual output of 32,000 mt of green hydrogen, which is then used to produce 180,000 mt of green ammonia, making it the world's largest monomer green ammonia unit.

Notably, the project has innovatively applied technologies such as DC microgrids, flexible control, and solid-state hydrogen storage, successfully overcoming the challenge of matching the volatility of wind and solar power generation with the stability required for ammonia synthesis production. This exploration offers a replicable new industrial model for the local conversion of new energy. According to estimates, the project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 650,000 mt annually, save 230,000 mt of standard coal, equivalent to offsetting the carbon emissions generated by nearly 500,000 ordinary households' annual electricity consumption, demonstrating significant environmental protection benefits.
