The Baogang Xinneng Hydrogen Production and Storage Integrated Demonstration Project has been filed, with a total investment of 41.9 million yuan.

The Baogang Xin Energy Company's integrated hydrogen production and storage demonstration project has recently been registered. The project is located in the Bayan Obo Mine, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, with the project unit being Inner Mongolia Baogang Xin Energy Co., Ltd., and the total investment is 41.9 million yuan.

According to the registration content, the project will construct one set of Q=1000Nm³/h alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production unit and one set of Q=500Nm³/h solid proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production unit. At the same time, the project will support the construction of gaseous hydrogen storage tanks, a 100kg solid-state hydrogen storage device, and a heat storage and release system.

In addition to the core equipment for hydrogen production and storage, the project will also configure supporting utility systems such as power supply, control, compressed air, and nitrogen production, forming an integrated demonstration system combining hydrogen production, storage, and auxiliary operational support.

The project plans to have a construction period from September 2026 to December 2028. Upon completion, the project is expected to provide a demonstration example for the coordinated application of local hydrogen production and storage, and further promote the construction of hydrogen energy infrastructure and clean energy application scenarios in the Bayan Obo Mine.

From a technical route perspective, the project simultaneously deploys alkaline water electrolysis and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis for hydrogen production, and configures gaseous and solid-state hydrogen storage systems, reflecting the characteristics of multi-technology route collaborative verification. As the development of wind and solar resources and the green hydrogen industry in Inner Mongolia accelerates, such hydrogen production and storage integration projects will provide support for the improvement of the regional hydrogen energy industry chain.
