Green Hydrogen Project Tracking — Shaanxi's First Integrated Hydrogen Energy Comprehensive Utilization Testing Project Commissioned, Filling the Gap in Full-Scenario Demonstration in Northwest China

Published: May 26, 2026 15:30

Recently, the integrated hydrogen energy comprehensive utilization testing project developed by Shaanxi Hydrogen Energy Inspection and Detection Co., Ltd. successfully completed full-process commissioning, with all systems reaching operational standards and about to be officially put into regular operation. The project is Shaanxi Province's first containerized PV green electricity PEM hydrogen production comprehensive demonstration project. Upon commissioning, it effectively filled the gap in full-scenario hydrogen energy application demonstration in north-west China, becoming a landmark achievement in the construction of Shaanxi Province's hydrogen energy entire industry chain system.

It is understood that the project is located at the Shaanxi Hydrogen Energy Quality and Technology Innovation Base, integrating multiple advanced hydrogen energy system equipment, including a 2MW PV power generation system, 50Nm³/h PEM hydrogen production equipment, a 35MPa high-pressure hydrogen storage system, vehicle hydrogen refueling equipment, and a 100kW hydrogen fuel cell combined heat and power system. It fully covers the entire hydrogen energy production, storage, transportation, refueling, and utilization business chain, enabling real-world testing, verification, and iterative optimization of core technologies across the entire hydrogen energy process.

The project adopts an innovative modular containerized construction approach, which, compared with traditional fixed-installation projects, offers outstanding advantages including shorter deployment cycles, flexible installation, and strong replicability. It can subsequently be adapted in batches to diversified application scenarios such as green energy supply for industrial parks, energy replenishment for remote areas, and emergency backup power supply according to market demand, with a wide range of adaptability and extremely high promotion value.

Leveraging the base's existing distributed PV supporting facilities, the project, upon completion, established a virtuous green energy circulation system, forming a zero-carbon operation closed loop of "daytime PV power generation and on-site hydrogen production and storage, nighttime hydrogen power generation and autonomous energy supply," successfully creating a demonstration model of a small-scale zero-carbon park and providing strong support for advancing regional carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. This innovative model completely broke through the barriers to full-chain hydrogen energy application, addressing industry pain points of traditional hydrogen energy utilization models such as low efficiency, limited application scenarios, and insufficient economic viability, significantly enhancing the safety, utilization efficiency, and comprehensive economic benefits of hydrogen energy applications.

In the next step, the project operator will strictly uphold the safety production baseline, continuously optimize equipment operating parameters, improve system functions, and ensure stable and comprehensive project operation. Meanwhile, using this demonstration project as a core platform, the operator will continue to focus on hydrogen energy core technology R&D, actively carry out industry-academia-research collaborative innovation, and accelerate the commercialization of cutting-edge technological achievements. Leveraging the industrial resource advantages of the industry leader, the operator will pool regional hydrogen energy industry strengths, continuously improve the new-type hydrogen-electricity coupled energy system, and continuously empower the transformation and upgrading of Shaanxi Province's energy structure and the implementation of the dual-carbon strategy.

SQM, Codelco Outline Expansion Plan to Lift Lithium Output to 470,000 mt/y
SQM and Codelco's lithium joint venture, Novandino, has outlined plans in an environmental impact assessment (EIA) filing to increase annual lithium production capacity from around 270,000 mt currently to as much as 470,000 mt. The expansion is aimed at meeting long-term demand from electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. According to the filing, production will first gradually rise to around 300,000 mt before transitioning over seven years to an integrated production system incorporating direct lithium extraction (DLE), with additional capacity expected to come online over several years.

Congo cobalt exporters fear losing quotas due to administrative glitch, sources say
According to an industry letter seen by Reuters, exporters have been unable to submit export declarations through the customs platform since July 1 because ARECOMS, the Democratic Republic of Congo's strategic minerals regulator, has not formally notified customs to continue processing export quotas. As a result, major producers including CMOC Group, Glencore, Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) and Huayou Cobalt have been unable to complete export procedures. Meanwhile, ARECOMS requires companies to utilize their first-half export quotas by July 5, after which any unused volumes will be withdrawn and reallocated. Industry sources estimate that around 60%–75% of companies are unlikely to meet the deadline due to administrative delays. If the issue is not resolved promptly, up to 20,000 tonnes of cobalt exports, worth approximately US$1.1 billion at current prices, could be affected. CMOC alone could lose almost all of its second-quarter export quota. SMM will continue to monitor developments.
