Tracking Green Hydrogen Projects—Core Monomer Topping-Off of China Energy Engineering Group Shijiazhuang PV Hydrogen Production Project, 3.2 Billion Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Project Accelerates

Recently, the China Energy Construction Shijiazhuang Luqu District PV Hydrogen Production and Hydrogen Energy Supporting Industry Project, with a total investment of 3.2 billion yuan, reached a critical period. The three core monomers—the laboratory building, central control room, and public auxiliary substation—achieved dome closure and roof sealing, marking the project's full transition from the infrastructure phase to the "growth" stage of main structural construction, laying a solid foundation for its scheduled commissioning in 2025.

As a key construction project in Shijiazhuang, the project has faced multiple challenges since its initiation, including complex geological conditions and a tight schedule. The construction team overcame numerous construction difficulties through stringent standards such as millimeter-level precision control in rebar binding and full-process quality supervision of concrete pouring. The three core monomers that have now been topped out serve as the project's "functional hubs": the laboratory building will undertake raw material detection and product quality analysis, building a "firewall" for green hydrogen quality; the central control room integrates a full-process data monitoring system, creating an intelligent scheduling "strongest brain"; and the public auxiliary substation acts as the energy supply "power source," providing stable electricity support for hydrogen production equipment to ensure continuous operation of the production chain.

The project plans to construct a 44.15 MW/56.97 MWp PV power station, 5.5 MW/11 MWh ESS facilities, and a 6,000 Nm³/h hydrogen production unit. Upon commissioning, it is expected to produce 2,600 mt of green hydrogen annually and 19,820 mt of liquid oxygen as a by-product, forming an integrated green hydrogen production model of "PV+ESS+hydrogen production." Once completed, it will become an important period in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei hydrogen energy industry network, linking with regional hydrogen pipeline plans (such as the Chifeng to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Green Hydrogen Corridor) and helping to build an entire industry chain ecosystem of "production, storage, transportation, and utilization."

According to industry forecasts, China's green hydrogen demand during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period is expected to reach 2.4-4.3 million mt/year. Through its demonstration model of converting wind and solar power into green hydrogen, this project can not only reduce regional green hydrogen transportation costs but also provide a stable supply of green hydrogen for scenarios such as hydrogen energy transportation and chemical substitution in North China, becoming a typical case of energy structure transformation under the national "dual carbon" goals.
