Sinopec signed a 4.5GW Saudi Arabian water electrolysis hydrogen production project

Recently, Sinopec signed a contract with Saudi Arabia International Power and Water Company (ACWA Power) for the front-end engineering design (Feed + convertible engineering general contracting) of the Saudi Yanbu green hydrogen/green ammonia project. According to the contract, Guangzhou Engineering Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Refining and Chemical Engineering Group (SEG), will form a consortium with a Spanish company to provide pre-engineering services for the project. After completion, the project will become the world's largest green hydrogen/green ammonia production complex, effectively promoting the large-scale development and application of green hydrogen/green ammonia technology and contributing to the global energy transition.

 

The project is located in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, and will use wind and solar power generation to produce green ammonia, including 4.5GW of electrolysis water hydrogen production facility, about 8,000 tons/day of ammonia synthesis facility, seawater desalination plant, special terminal and other public works and auxiliary production facilities, which is expected to be officially put into commercial operation in 2030, with an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons of green hydrogen and 2.8 million tons of green ammonia.

 

The relevant person in charge of Sinopec Refining and Chemical Engineering Group said that the successful signing of the general contracting contract for the Feed + Convertible Project of Saudi Arabia's Yanbu Green Hydrogen/Green Ammonia Project is another achievement of Sinopec's in-depth practice of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", and it is also an important milestone for the company to deeply participate in and promote the global energy transition. Refining and Chemical Engineering Group will continue to leverage its experience, technology and management advantages in the field of green energy to contribute to the development of global green energy.

 

Previously, Sinopec took the lead in establishing the Green Hydrogen Energy Production, Storage and Transportation Innovation Consortium of Central Enterprises, built the Xinjiang Kuqa Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project with high standards, actively built a hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing base, built 11 hydrogen fuel cell hydrogen supply centers, 144 hydrogen refueling stations, and built 7 "hydrogen corridors" of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Tianjin, Chengdu-Chongqing, Shanghai-Jiayong, Jiqing and Hanyi Expressways, basically covering the "3+2" hydrogen fuel cell demonstration city cluster, becoming the enterprise with the most hydrogen refueling stations in operation in the world.
