全球规模最大绿色氢氨醇一体化项目二期开工The second phase of the world's largest green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol integrated project has started construction

On the 20th, the second phase of the 'Qing Hydrogen No. 1' Zhongnengjian Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park (integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol) project, invested and constructed by China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'China Energy Engineering'), commenced construction in Songyuan, Jilin. This project is China's first large-scale integrated project for wind-solar coupled green hydrogen to green ammonia, and it is currently the world's largest integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project.

The first phase of the project was put into operation in December 2025. After the completion of the second phase, the first and second phases will form an annual green ammonia production capacity of 600,000 tons, marking the first time that wind-solar coupled green hydrogen to green ammonia in China has moved from demonstration verification to large-scale commercial operation.

"The second phase, now under construction, will leverage China Energy Engineering's integrated 'investment-construction-operation' advantages, commercialization leadership, supply chain integration advantages, as well as Songyuan's local resource advantages, to build a national-level hydrogen-ammonia-methanol production base with scale effects, demonstrative significance, and strategic value, providing strong traction for Jilin Province to accelerate the creation of a 'national green energy industrial highland' and a 'green liquid fuel supply base,'" said Ni Zhen, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Energy Engineering.

According to the introduction, the total investment for Phase II of the project is 10.828 billion yuan. Compared with Phase I, Phase II has achieved systematic upgrades across multiple dimensions such as scale, equipment, technology, efficiency, and market: the installed capacity of renewable energy has increased to 1,600 MW, doubling the scale of Phase I, adopting the 'self-generation for self-use, surplus power to the grid' model, with green electricity supply capacity amplified in sync with hydrogen production load; two sets of 200,000-ton-per-year ammonia synthesis units and 126,000 standard cubic meters per hour water electrolysis hydrogen production units will be constructed, with annual capacities of green hydrogen and green ammonia reaching 90,000 tons and 400,000 tons respectively, twice that of Phase I; the operational flexibility of the ammonia synthesis units is further widened to 7.5%–110%, further reducing energy consumption and equipment wear.

"Phase II of the project enhances the international competitiveness of China's green fuels by diluting fixed costs through scale expansion, lowering energy and material consumption through technological iteration, and securing market-verified green premiums," said Li Jingguang, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Energy Engineering Hydrogen Company.

From the start of Phase I production to the commencement of Phase II, the installed capacity for green power, hydrogen production units, and synthetic ammonia units in the Songyuan project will be expanded simultaneously. The combined output of Phases I and II will reach an annual capacity of 600,000 tons of green ammonia. The large-scale production of green hydrogen and green ammonia has entered a new stage in the black soil region of Northeast China.
