China News Service, Songyuan, October 20 (Li Yanguo, Gao Long'an) The second phase of the world's largest green hydrogen ammonia alcohol integrated project "Qinghydro No. 1" was launched in Songyuan, Jilin on the 20th, marking the official move of China's green hydrogen ammonia alcohol integrated industry from engineering demonstration to large-scale commercial operation.
"Qing Hydrogen No. 1" is the full name of "Qing Hydrogen No. 1" China Energy Construction Songyuan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park (green hydrogen ammonia alcohol integration) project, invested and constructed by China Energy Construction Group Co., Ltd., is China's first large-scale wind-solar coupled green hydrogen production green ammonia integrated project. The project adopts the technical route of "direct supply of wind and solar power + energy storage peak shaving + high-efficiency electrolytic hydrogen production + dynamic ammonia alcohol synthesis integration" to solve the world-class problem of dynamic matching of new energy fluctuations and stable chemical production, open up a path for large-scale production of green hydrogen ammonia alcohol, and establish a replicable business model for China's green ammonia from a single technology demonstration to large-scale overseas expansion.
The first phase of the "Qing Hydrogen No. 1" project was officially put into operation on December 16, 2025. After nearly a year of operation, the production load of the synthetic ammonia unit has reached 100%, and it has fully entered the stage of stable operation and batch delivery of products.
It is reported that "Qing Hydrogen No. 1" has obtained relevant certifications from the European Union and South Korea, and has signed long-term agreements with a number of international companies to export ammonia-doped power generation solutions, supply the European ocean shipping zero-carbon fuel market, and open up a complete trade channel from China's wind and solar resources to overseas zero-carbon fuel markets. On October 13 this year, the green ammonia produced by it completed the world's first ship-to-ship refueling of green ammonia fuel in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, realizing the first complete link of "production-storage-transportation-refueling-application" of green ammonia as a marine green fuel.
Ni Zhen, chairman of China Energy Construction Group Co., Ltd., said that the second phase is a large-scale expansion project that is iteratively upgraded based on the first phase. It is a landmark achievement of China's hydrogen energy industry in cultivating new productivity and building a new energy system.
Compared with the first phase, the second phase has achieved a systematic jump in the five dimensions of scale, equipment, technology, efficiency and market. Among them, the installed capacity of new energy in the second phase has been increased from 800 MW in the first phase to 1,600 MW; the annual production capacity of green hydrogen and green ammonia has reached 90,000 tons and 400,000 tons respectively. It is expected to achieve an annual carbon emission reduction of 1.4 million tons, which is equivalent to planting about 70 million trees. The first and second phases of the project have the overall annual production capacity of 600,000 tons of green ammonia.
"If the first phase solves the feasibility problem of 'from 0 to 1', the second phase answers the commercialization problem of 'from 1 to N'." Li Jingguang, chairman of China Energy Construction Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd., said that the second phase will dilute fixed costs through scale expansion, reduce energy and material consumption with technological iterations, and rely on locking the market to realize green premiums, making China's green fuel more capable of participating in international competition.
